Dermody Properties Foundation

Community: Our Commitment is here to stay.

The Dermody Properties Foundation was founded in 1988, funded by the profits generated by the hard work and dedication of all the employees at Dermody Properties/DP Partners. With a focus on the arts, education, and the family, as well as a special emphasis on children and the elderly, our employee-managed Foundation has benefited thousands of families through hundreds of non-profit organizations and causes. 

On average, the Dermody Properties Foundation donates more than $100,000 per year to a variety of non-profits in the communities in which we do business. We are pleased to have awarded grants and scholarships to organizations such as:  Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Northern Nevada Food Bank, The Rescue Mission, Committee to Aid Abused Women, Hub City Senior Center, Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts, Nevada Opera Foundation, Georgia Southern University (scholarships), YWCA, and Better Boys Foundation.  We are especially proud to have sponsored two Habitat for Humanity houses, with both funds and volunteer labor.
