The HDR Foundation holds special meaning when employees see the impact of a grant in their local community firsthand. In total, we awarded $854,266 in 2021, including our first grants in New Hampshire, New Mexico, Georgia and central Iowa, as well as our first grants through the HDR Canada Fund. While food security and sustainability remained central to many of the causes we support, we also awarded grants toward programs for children and young adults exiting the foster care system, providing life skills and mobility for homeless people, and offering extracurricular educational opportunities for disadvantaged youth. Additional grants created public gathering spaces in underserved neighborhoods and supported the needs of people with disabilities.
