The GPD Employees’ Foundation Charity Golf Outing is the Foundation’s signature annual fundraiser, supporting programs that help K through 12 students and children with medical, special, or at-risk needs. Funds raised through sponsorships, golfer participation, and on course activities go directly into the Foundation’s grantmaking, which provides classroom resources, STEM and literacy programs, accessibility improvements, therapies, equipment for children with medical challenges, and community initiatives that create safe, supportive environments for at risk youth. The outing brings together employees, partners, and sponsors to advance the Foundation’s mission and expand opportunities for children across the communities GPD serves.
Serving our communities has always been an important piece of GPD Group’s culture. From volunteer relationships with local organizations around our offices to holiday giving programs, we have always believed that it is our responsibility to give back to the communities that have given us so much.
In 2014, GPD Group took our desire to give back to the next level and created “The GPD Employees’ Foundation,” a 501©(3) that focused on bettering the lives of children in our communities. Our Foundation awards grants to K-12 public schools that enrich the educational experience of all students and to local non-profit organizations that support children who are at-risk or who live with special and medical needs.
We believe that by focusing our efforts on improving the lives of children, we are, in turn, making a long-term commitment to the future of the communities we serve.
