What We Support
Grant Spotlight: Legacy Youth Zone
“A group of us visited the Croydon Hub, and we immediately fell in love with the place,” said Ghada Elsheikh, associate electrical engineer, describing her first visit to Legacy Youth Zone. “You could just see the children's faces light up as they walk through the doors.”
The community hub offers more than 2,900 young people opportunities to fulfill their potential through positive educational and wellness activities. Ghada sponsored a second grant last year that will provide a year of weekly training kitchen sessions for kids ages 8 to 12. Training activities include hands-on cooking, nutrition education, kitchen safety, and life skills development.
“I am so proud of us at HDR, for coming together and helping the HDR Foundation make a positive impact in communities across the globe,” she 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.
