For more than 25 years the DRI Foundation trustees have worked with DRI benefactors to support environmental science research aimed at improving people's lives throughout Nevada, the nation, and the world.

The DRI Foundation's mission is to maximize DRI's global environmental impact by securing necessary funding, promoting DRI to multiple constituencies and expanding DRI's reach.
“I’m proud to support DRI’s amazing projects all over the world and here at home in Nevada through my service as a Foundation Trustee,” Aguirre said.
