our mission

Engage the passion of the Woodard & Curran community to support nonprofit organizations that protect our water and environment.

In 2010, the employees of Woodard & Curran, Inc. established the Foundation as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. With gratitude for the generous donation of time and resources from “Inc.” employees, the firm itself, corporations, and individuals, we are moving into our second decade, proudly supporting environmental nonprofit organizations across the country.

Our expertise drives results.

Thanks to the professional talents and personal passions the people of Woodard & Curran Inc. bring to the Foundation, we are uniquely positioned to identify, evaluate, and support projects focused on solving environmental problems. We have the technical expertise and professional network to maximize their potential for success.
