LOS ANGELES, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the largest and most trusted homebuilders in the U.S., has been named to Newsweek^®'s 2026 America's Most Charitable Companies list.

"We are deeply honored to be recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Most Charitable Companies," said Rob McGibney, President and Chief Executive Officer of KB Home. "Supporting the communities where we build and live has always been central to who we are. I'm incredibly proud of our employees, whose commitment to service helps to create meaningful impact for families and neighborhoods across the country."

• Planted over 150,000 trees in national forests through a partnership with the National Forest Foundation's reforestation program

The America's Most Charitable Companies list is based on an in-depth survey of 18,000 U.S. residents to capture external perceptions of companies' philanthropic and charitable activities and how philanthropic engagement is discussed in the public sphere as well as companies' publicly available corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting and related disclosures to assess philanthropic activities, including metrics such as volunteering and corporate giving.
