Corporate Giving
The ODSsence
ODS has a very long -- and very quiet -- history of caring. Our giving grows from, and reflects, the heart of our corporate culture. We support a wide range of endeavors that nurture our neighbors and nourish the places we share, and call home.
We focus our giving on two areas:
- Health - Supporting those striving to craft healthier communities, ODS partners with people working on science education, preventive care, medical research and community outreach.
- Environment - Supporting those working to enhance both the natural and built landscapes, ODS partners with people working to preserve, protect and enhance our environment in ways that engender healthier communities.
