Carpenter's Club Donor Spotlight

CarVal Investors’ believes that their reputation is their most valuable asset. As one of the world’s largest privately held companies, this is more than just a platitude for them. Their high ethical standards align seamlessly with their strong commitment to the community.
CarVal’s relationship with Twin Cities Habitat began in 2011, when they made the decision that in place of giving their clients holiday gifts, they would instead support Habitat affiliates in cities with CarVal branch offices on behalf of their clients. This decision aligned with their objective as a global corporate citizen to support organizations like Habitat, that help the most vulnerable of the world’s people, and they repeated this holiday gift the following year.
As their relationship with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity has grown, so has CarVal’s commitment to Habitat’s mission. Following their holiday donations, CarVal partnered with Twin Cities Habitat as a Table Sponsor for their annual Hard Hat & Black Tie Gala. They enjoyed their sponsorship experience so much, that the following year CarVal served as the Foundation Sponsor for the event. They also helped to tell Habitat’s mission story with a powerful video that was shown during the Gala.
In 2013, CarVal partnered with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity again by serving as our Silent Auction Sponsor, and most recently offered to become one of our Give to the Max Day Power Hour Challenge matches. Their generosity during this fundraising event inspired many others to give in support of Habitat’s work.
CarVal Investors continues to use an entrepreneurial eye to search for rewarding opportunities in both business and the community. As an organization committed to being a part of a community where hard-working families can own homes in healthy neighborhoods, Habitat is honored to be one of the organizations that CarVal believes demonstrates success in helping individuals and communities overcome significant challenges and adversity.
About CarVal:
CarVal Investors was founded by Cargill in 1987 as an arm of Cargill’s proprietary financial trading operation. As a value investor, CarVal grew rapidly and established a firm foundation in the wake of the United States’ financial crisis of the early 1990’s. In the years that followed, CarVal expanded to Europe, Asia and Latin America, as investment opportunities developed from changing credit market cycles.
