To be integral and indispensable to the communities in which DPR works

DPR formed the DPR Foundation (http://www.DPRfoundation.org) last year to enhance its existing community service efforts. With a focus on disadvantaged children, the DPR Foundation works with DPR offices to identify a small group of candidate organizations in their local communities and then selects organizations that align closely with the company’s mission, purpose and core values.

“DPR is very new in this endeavor, and we are thrilled with the response and enthusiasm that all DPR offices have shown for the DPR Foundation and our mission,” said Peter Nosler, co-founder of DPR Construction and co-leader of the DPR Foundation. “These first four organizations are aligned with our mission and we expect this year will be one of real accomplishment in helping kids that can gain so much from a thoughtful helping hand.”
