2021 HDR Foundation Report

Thank you for everything you’ve done to make 2021 a special year for the HDR Foundation. I continue to be humbled by the generosity of our employee donors, grant sponsors and volunteers. Much like our company, the unique model for our Foundation begins with the incredible passion you have for making an impact in the communities where we live.

We were thrilled that our Canadian colleagues participated as part of their first Day of Giving this year. With a sense of camaraderie and pride, they raised $69,876 for the HDR Canada Fund and awarded their first two grants in July.

This report celebrates the impact we made thanks to a record $1.27 million raised by generous employee donors like you.

That outstanding start in Canada is just the beginning of what the HDR Foundation’s broad-based employee participation model can do across the globe. Through the establishment of the HDR Australia Fund, our Australian colleagues will participate in their first Day of Giving in 2022 and will conduct their first grant cycle.

I’m also very proud of the establishment of an Inclusion, Diversity & Equity (ID&E) Committee for the HDR Foundation in 2021. They have thoughtfully helped us examine everything we do, from representation on our Board of Directors and Grant Review Committee to the communities being served by our grants to how we can be more proactive to address ID&E issues in our communities. They have given a sharper focus to an important cause.

It has been an honor to serve as the chair of the HDR Foundation Board of Directors for the last two years. I’d like to wish a warm welcome to Rex Fisher, who becomes chair in 2022. The Foundation is in great hands with Rex, and I’m excited by what the future holds for us.

Before we look ahead, let’s reflect on what we accomplished in 2021. This report celebrates the impact we made thanks to a record $1.27 million raised by generous employee donors like you. Every dollar supports a cause close to the heart of one of your colleagues. THANK YOU!
