JDENVER, CO—Sept. 9, 2026
JE Dunn Construction has selected Give an Hour as a recipient of a 2026 Cornerstone Grant. Through its annual Cornerstone Campaign, JE Dunn invests more than $1.5 million per year toward an employee-selected charitable cause through intentional donations across the country — building on the company’s more than 100-year legacy of giving back.
For 2026, JE Dunn employees selected improving access to healthcare and mental health services for veterans as the campaign’s focus. Employees nationwide nominated organizations within the cause area, which were then vetted by the Community Impact team and a national Cornerstone Committee through an invitation-only grant process.
Give an Hour, which provides mental health support to people impacted by human-caused trauma, including veterans, service members, and their families, received the Cornerstone Grant on September 9,2026. The funding will help Give an Hour expand access to clinical care, peer support, and education for the veteran community.
“No veteran should have to navigate the path to mental health and well-being alone,” said Dr Trina Clayeux, CEO of Give an Hour. “What makes this partnership especially meaningful is that JE Dunn employees themselves chose to stand behind the veteran community. Their investment allows us to meet people where they are, strengthen the communities around them, and ensure more veterans have the support and agency to move forward.”
“It’s our honor to carry forward our founder’s legacy of doing the right thing and serving others through this employee-driven philanthropic strategy,” said Nancy Phelps, JE Dunn Community Impact Director. “This year, our employees chose to invest in organizations that expand access to healthcare and mental well-being resources for veterans. We can’t think of a more meaningful way to thank those who protect where we live, work, and build than by helping ensure veterans and their families have the support they need to thrive at home.”
The grant was presented by JE Dunn’s Denver office, highlighting the company’s commitment to investing in the local communities where its employees live and work.
