A Year of Possibilities
Listening and responding to our nonprofit partners' needs took on greater importance during the COVID-19 crisis. The years-long community partnerships allowed us to act quickly to support nonprofit needs. Events of 2020 underscored that one of our most pressing issues in our communities is the growing economic divide. We are humbled by the dedicated work of our community partners, and proud to help them succeed through the unique skills and resources we have as a company.
Looking forward to 2021 and beyond, DPR will continue to listen to our nonprofit partners and create innovative ways to use our resources to help them, and our communities, thrive.
