The Offutt Family Foundation, with support from R.D. Offutt Company, awarded 59 grants totaling $409,400 to nonprofit organizations across the R.D. Offutt Company footprint.

A unique initiative designed for R.D. Offutt Company team members to nominate nonprofits to receive a grant, the Offutt Family Foundation Community Builder program demonstrates team members' commitment to investing in their communities.

"The Community Builder program continues to be one of the most inspiring reflections of the shared values between the Offutt Family Foundation and RDO team members — our commitment to community, generosity and meaningful impact," said Terry Brandt Offutt Family Foundation's executive director.

R.D. Offutt Company team members filled out grant applications on behalf of local charities with which they are affiliated for grant consideration. Grants are awarded based on the charity's mission and those whose programming aligns with the focus areas of the Offutt Family Foundation, including healthcare, education or community development. Brandt said R.D. Offutt Company team members showed their dedication through their rich and diverse applications.

"Each application submitted during the last ten years shows the deep dedication team members have to the places they live and work," Brandt said. "We're proud to work alongside RDO to bring this program to life because we believe in investing in people and strengthening communities."

Since 2015, the Community Builder program has donated more than $2 million to local nonprofits and community organizations nationwide.
