What We Support
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.
Grant Spotlight: Blanchet House and Farm
Every month, volunteers from our Portland office serve warm meals to community members in need at the Blanchet House, a nonprofit that provides essential aid with dignity.
Recognizing an opportunity to build upon his colleagues’ volunteerism, Sean Larkin sponsored an HDR Foundation grant that will truly transform lives. The grant funded a new metal shop at Blanchet Farm, a sober transitional housing program helping men build essential job skills that will provide life-changing opportunities.
“Sometimes saying yes to a small good can snowball and blossom into something so much bigger than you would have imagined,” Sean said.
