“loanDepot’s partnership with MLB allows us to engage with millions of fans in communities across the country in an interactive way, celebrating ‘firsts’ in baseball and homeownership,” said loanDepot President and CEO Frank Martell. “At a time when we’re facing an unprecedented housing affordability crisis, impacting the same fans and communities, especially the diverse communities of first-time homebuyers, our partnership with Habitat is making a genuine impact by creating more homes for families across America.”
As the Official Mortgage Provider of MLB, loanDepot's Ballpark Bingo campaign captivated fans throughout the 2023 regular season with an interactive sweepstakes. Fans participated by stamping their digital bingo cards as major “first” milestones unfolded on the baseball diamond, such as the first player to hit 10 home runs and the first team to land a triple play.

Speaking to the first-of-its-kind experience, Hilligoss shared, “My wife and I love baseball, and our goal is to visit different stadiums. Thank you so much to loanDepot! This is a once-in-a-lifetime dream, going to two playoff games back-to-back, in two different cities across the country. And, throwing out the first pitch is icing on the cherry on the sundae!”
As a purpose-driven lender committed to helping Americans realize their financial and homeownership goals, loanDepot partnered with Habitat for Humanity on its mission to help families build and improve places to call home. As fans stamped their bingo cards, significant milestones throughout the season – including the first clinched ALCS and NLCS berths – unlocked donations from loanDepot. These funds will now contribute to new construction and home repair in the community, which will help low-income households establish the foundational stability that comes with access to safe and affordable homeownership.
“Habitat is proud to partner with loanDepot and baseball fans to leverage milestones throughout this season,” said Tolli Love, chief development officer at Habitat for Humanity International. “The support generated from this promotion will help Habitat build and repair more affordable homes. We’re grateful to loanDepot for their committed partnership and support of our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.”
