What We Support
Grant Spotlight: Girls on the Run
Every grant from the HDR Foundation and our global philanthropic funds begins with a cause close to an employee's heart. Girls on the Run is a nonprofit dedicated to improving the physical and mental well-being of girls through a fun after-school program that enables them to navigate life experiences successfully. After learning about the organization, Kâren Sander, HDR area business development leader, was inspired to co-found the Treasure Valley chapter to bring the program to girls in her Boise, Idaho, community and beyond. Kâren sponsored an HDR Foundation grant to Girls on the Run Treasure Valley that provided the curricula books, lesson materials and resources for 40 sites offering the program during the school year.
Our company, clients and communities benefit from a well-educated, skilled and informed population. We believe education is perhaps the most powerful tool for reducing poverty, improving health and advancing prosperity. We fund educational grants addressing education from pre-K through college.
With a globally recognized healthcare design practice, we value the importance of healthcare and healthy communities. Promoting healthy living at the community level brings the greatest health benefits to the greatest number of people. We fund grants that address active lifestyles, wellness education and preventative healthcare.
We promote the value of environmentally responsible practices to our clients, employee-owners and communities. We are all responsible for the use, stewardship and protection of our natural environment. We support grants that address restoration, renewal, conservation and sustainable best practices of our global resources.
