DRI Foundation - Giving Back with Your Help
The DRI Foundation is committed to giving back to DRI members, their communities, and the cities that host DRI events. Proceeds raised by the DRI Foundation go directly toward funding and fostering initiatives that make a difference, including diversity
programs, healthy living programs, and more. Members engage with local communities through fundraising and volunteer activities, as well as wellness activities, support programs, and mentoring to help lead healthy, balanced, and productive lives.
The DRI Foundation helps promote the work of volunteer-led committees, including:
- DRI Cares, which helps members engage with local communities through fundraising and volunteer activities.
- DRI for Life, which helps members lead healthy, balanced, and productive lives through wellness activities, support programs, and mentoring.
Your donations to the DRI Foundation will have a tangible impact on the well-being of the legal community and beyond.
The DRI Foundation is a not-for-profit organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c) (3).
