HDR Foundation

We believe giving back is not only a civic duty, but a privilege.

As the company founder, H.H. Henningson noted nearly a century ago:  “There is always time enough for kindness.”  To carry out that legacy, the HDR Foundation strives to impact the world in positive ways. Through partnerships aligned with HDR’s values and areas of expertise, we encourage our employees to be engaged in their local communities and leave their mark on the future. 

Founded in 2012, and fueled primarily by donations from our employees, the HDR Foundation has provided nearly $3 million in grant funding to deserving nonprofit organizations and charities.  

HDR Foundation Expands into Canada

In 2020, the HDR Foundation Board of Directors announced the launch of its philanthropic efforts into Canada, serving our Canadian employees and their communities. Across Canada, HDR employees can now participate in grant sponsorship, fundraising and community grant-making decisions.
