Philantrophy & Volunteerism
Oelrich Construction funds dozens of community causes each year. Our target philanthropic focus areas include Youth, Education, and Workforce Development.
Oelrich Construction STEAM Grant
Our team partnered with the Cade Museum to launch a new STEAM Grant & Outreach Program. Oelrich Construction started a fund to cover field trip costs for students interested in visiting the Cade Museum. The grant covers transportation and/or admission costs for K-5 elementary school students in North Central Florida (including Alachua, Levy, Citrus, Dixie, Putnam, Union, Bradford, Suwanee, Columbia, and surrounding counties). Administered by the Cade Foundation, the program was established to bridge the gap between classroom learning and immersive educational experiences.
UF Small Business & Supplier Diversity Mentor – Protégé Program
Having started as a small company, we understand the importance of investing in small business. Oelrich Construction was introduced to the Program as a protégé, developing a working relationship with a Mentor so our team could benefit from the knowledge and experience of an established firm. We have since had the honor of mentoring 10 small businesses throughout the years, helping to increase the pool of available and qualified businesses within the community.
