For nearly 60 years, Pape-Dawson Engineers Inc. has provided civil engineering, environmental and surveying support to thousands of projects that have improved numerous community footprints.
But its family owners also have sought to contribute to those communities in other ways through their own philanthropy and through what they have inspired of others, including Pape-Dawson’s charitable foundation and the firm’s 700 employees in their volunteer efforts (see photo below). Nonprofit organizations—from food banks and mentoring programs to housing assistance and child advocacy groups—have been key beneficiaries. Last year, Pape-Dawson also raised and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities across Texas.
