DPR takes a collaborative, measurable approach to our philanthropy. We believe that philanthropy and volunteering are about more than giving money to a cause and checking a box. We combine our unique skills and resources as a company with a careful selection of nonprofit partners to create real social change.
We listen to and collaborate with our community partners to identify how we can help them move forward in their missions through our areas of expertise, our Three Pillars of skills-based volunteering: Facility Construction and Renovation; Career and Education Guidance for Youth; and Operational Support for Nonprofit Partners.

We have a unique ability to share our love for technical construction, problem-solving, and collaboration. We can provide students with the first-hand experience of being part of a team that makes a building project come to life and affects a community for generations.
Our approach to community involvement allows us to accomplish long-term, realistic goals for communities that need it most by focusing on what we’re great at doing. By tracking outcome data and communicating with our nonprofit partners, we ensure our efforts help meet their greatest needs.
Ultimately, DPR’s employees drive these efforts because they want to. Giving back isn’t a policy; it’s a principle at the heart of who we are as people.
When we focus on giving back with what we
do well, it allows nonprofits to truly focus on their missions and what they do best: changing the world for the better.
