Celebrating 10 Years of Making the Difference in the Lives of Children!

The GPD Employees’ Foundation is double digits! When we started the Foundation in 2014 our main goal was to take our company’s spirit of giving back to the next level…and it is safe to say we have done that! Over the last ten years, the Foundation has made it possible for us to give more than $6 million through more than 1,500 grants to K-12 public schools and non-profits across the country. We are so proud to have had the opportunity to work with and support so many inspiring organizations and public school educators who have made it their mission to make positive impacts in the lives of the children they work with.

What I am most proud of is the fact that our Foundation has grown because of our employees. It is because of GPD employees that we are able to make positive impacts in the lives of some of the most vulnerable and deserving children in our communities. Without the time and funds that our employees give, none of this would be as meaningful or even possible.

- Darrin Kotecki, GPD President

While it is fun to reflect and look back at all we have accomplished in the last 10 years, we are even more excited for what is still to come. As we move into the next decade of giving, we look forward to building upon our relationships and making even bigger impacts with some of our long-standing community partners. We are also committed to furthering our work with organizations that support children who are considered at-risk because the need is constantly growing. Stay tuned for all the great things still to come!
