MENU About Us HDR Foundation Awards & Rankings Board of Directors HDR Foundation History Inclusion, Diversity & Equity Corporate Responsibility We believe giving back is not only a civic duty, but a privilege. Our company founder, H.H. Henningson, noted over a century ago, “There is always time enough for kindness.” Founded in 2012 by HDR Chairman and CEO Eric Keen, the HDR Foundation is an extension of that mission, aiming to benefit the communities in which we live and work. The HDR Foundation provides grants to qualified organizations that align with HDR’s areas of expertise: education, healthy communities and environmental stewardship. As an employee-funded and employee-driven foundation, preference is given to organizations located in communities in which HDR employees live and work, and those with strong employee involvement. Since its inception, the HDR Foundation has provided more than $4 million in grants to over 150 organizations. Establishment of HDR Foundation-Canada Fund In 2020, our employees in Canada welcomed the establishment of the HDR Foundation-Canada Fund, opening up philanthropic support to charities across Canada. Similar to the process of the U.S.-based HDR Foundation, Canadian HDR employees can now participate in grant sponsorship, fundraising and community grant-making decisions. The HDR Foundation is a separate legal entity from the corporation HDR, Inc. The HDR Foundation (EIN 46-0961680) is an IRS-designated 501 (c) (3) Exempt Private Foundation which carries out a charitable mission in accordance with all IRS guidelines governing such entities. Monies donated to the HDR Foundation are used to make charitable grants to qualifying nonprofit organizations and are not for the benefit of HDR, Inc.
