create an environment that engages as many people as possible. We broaden the impact by encouraging our employ- ees to participate in nonprofit work.” The Dome Construction Foundation offers employees the financial resources to support the organizations that matter most to them by: • Donating to causes they care about in their communities.


• Matching donations that employees make to registered nonprofit organizations.


• Organizing volunteer opportunities


zations by employing their construction expertise to improve their physical fa- cilities. Through their partner charities, they mentor underprivileged youth and provide them with the tools they need for a brighter future. Dome continues to focus on sup-


porting and leading nonprofit organiza- tions that seek to build a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable construction industry, including nonprofits that support women and minorities and workforce development programs. The Dome Construction Foundation main- tains ongoing support for Best Buddies, The San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, LEAP Arts in Education, ICA Christo Ray Academy, and Rebuilding Together. Each year, Dome sponsors a general


build day in which employees volunteer their time to help revitalize commu- nities and help those in need. During the holiday season, Dome teams are brought together to help at food banks and the Toys for Tots program.
