While most of you are aware of DRI International's presence, fewer of you are aware of the all-volunteer DRI Foundation which was formed in response to the great Japanese earthquake of in 2011. We became aware that while large organizations were doing wonderful work, small local organizations and the people they supported were not getting the help they needed. And so, this became the genesis of the DRI Foundation; a 501(c)3 charitable foundation whose goal was to raise funds to help small, underserved groups in disaster areas.
Since then, we have helped victims of disasters around the world. In the first three months of this year alone providing over $50,000 to food banks and medical facilities.
The Foundation expanded its efforts to doing volunteer work in locations that hosted our annual conference. Mayors of both Nashville and Las Vegas (twice) proclaimed DRI Foundation Day for our work in their communities.
From there, we set up two annual scholarships to help certified professionals pay for higher education.
We founded Women in Business Continuity Management (WBCM), which has grown to 500+ members , to provide a much-needed forum for women professionals seeking to reach out to their peers and a mentoring program. There is even a scholarship program to help women enter the field.
Our Veterans Outreach Program has provided a way for us to give back to those who protect us. To date over 700 veterans have received free training, certification and help with job placement.
