As part of our commitment to community engagement, we encourage our operating companies and employees to be involved in the communities where we operate, and we offer programs to support local charitable and philanthropic efforts. We believe that philanthropic engagement extends our ability to make a positive impact on our local communities beyond our operations and is a meaningful way to foster employee goodwill.
The Dover Foundation

The Dover Foundation, established in 2011, seeks to support not-for-profit organizations, causes, and programs that promote education, literacy, the advancement of STEM initiatives (science, technology, engineering, and math), and other local community needs identified and supported by our operating companies.
The Dover Foundation places a high priority on education, with a focus on efforts that enrich science and technology education for students, and on supporting literacy programs that enhance reading and communication skills. The Foundation believes education plays an important role in sustaining individual and societal improvement, promoting strong communities, a vibrant economy, and a skilled workforce for the future.
In 2021, the Dover Foundation continued to support diversity and inclusion efforts to programs like the Museum of Science and Industry’s Black Creativity initiative which focuses on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) education programs that empower curiosity and creativity in Black communities.
