What We Support
Grant Spotlight: Foundation for Hospital Art
The Idaho Shakespeare Festival School of Theater program brings the inspiration of live theater to approximately 50,000 students in urban, rural, remote and often underserved areas throughout Idaho each year.
Through an HDR Foundation grant sponsored by Kâren Sander, area business development leader, a new truck for the program is transporting set pieces that transform cafeterias and gymnasiums across the state into temporary and magical theatrical worlds full of haunted libraries, troubled kingdoms and the wonders of Shakespeare. “I think the reason that the arts education is so important is that it opens your mind to new possibilities,” Kâren said.
Our company, clients and communities benefit from a well-educated, skilled and informed population. We believe education is perhaps the most powerful tool for reducing poverty, improving health and advancing prosperity. We fund educational grants addressing education from pre-K through college.
With a globally recognized healthcare design practice, we value the importance of healthcare and healthy communities. Promoting healthy living at the community level brings the greatest health benefits to the greatest number of people. We fund grants that address active lifestyles, wellness education and preventative healthcare.
We promote the value of environmentally responsible practices to our clients, employee-owners and communities. We are all responsible for the use, stewardship and protection of our natural environment. We support grants that address restoration, renewal, conservation and sustainable best practices of our global resources.
