$2.75M distribution supports 42 nonprofit partners seeking to transform the lives of underserved youth

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --The DPR Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by DPR Construction, announced that it has distributed $2.75 million in grants to 42 nonprofit partners nationwide. This represents the largest annual distribution in its history and marks a 25% increase from last year, bringing the Foundation's cumulative total to $18.8 million since being established in 2008.

"These funds tangibly support thousands of youth in the communities where DPR operates," said Cari Williams, DPR's global social responsibility leader and President of the DPR Foundation. "We're thrilled to be able to complement DPR's community involvement efforts with grants that help change possibilities for recipient organizations and the people they serve for the long-term."

The Foundation issued unrestricted grants ranging from $25,000 to $125,000 for individual organizations. To be eligible, organizations or their specific programs must help under-resourced youth build possibilities for their futures and demonstrate measurable outcomes from those efforts.

For example, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay received a $125,000 grant for its work supporting thousands of youth throughout its region with scholarships, facility renovations and enhancements, education, training and operational support. With the grant, BGCGTB will be able to move forward with additional facility projects, program enhancements, and scholarship support.

"We are not able to fulfill our mission without partners like DPR," said Cassandra Thomas, Chief Marketing Officer for Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay. "Our day-to-day staff does amazing work that is enabled by partners engaging with the work we do and putting their dollars behind it. DPR's support over the past decade embodies that type of commitment."
