Pursuing Positive Change

DRW's charitable efforts are fueled by the compassion and dedication of our colleagues.

Together, we make an impact.

At DRW, we are a team of innovative and ambitious individuals who use the power of free markets to solve challenging problems, capture opportunities, and pursue positive change. Here are some of the highlights from 2022.
Volunteers

Volunteer Spotlights

Chicago

A group of employees joined students from DRW College Prep to participate in an 'Hour of Code'. During multiple morning and afternoon sessions, employees helped walk students through coding exercises designed to introduce and strengthen their knowledge of various coding concepts.

Montreal

Although Covid-19 interfered with the regular volunteer program in Montreal, groups of employees were still able to mentor high school students from Lasalle Community Comprehensive High School in a Robotics Program, where they helped prepare, design and build a robot for a competition with the students. The team placed 2nd, which was definitely a highlight!

Singapore

Employees volunteered with the Food Bank Singapore (FBSG). FBSG is a Singapore-based food distribution program that aims to help eradicate hunger in the country by 2025. Employees spent an afternoon in the FBSG warehouse helping to sort incoming food donations, taking inventory of items, and packing food donations for distribution.

Celebrating 10 years of helping scholars prepare for success.

In 2012, we partnered with the Noble Network of Charter Schools on the founding of DRW College Prep, a Noble Charter School in Chicago's Homan Square neighborhood.

In Fall of 2021, DRW College Prep introduced their new Computer Science Program designed to teach increasingly rigorous and valuable coding skills to students throughout their high school career.

In 2022, DRW College Prep celebrated its 10-year anniversary. In those 10 years, DRW College Prep has grown to a network of over 1,000 students and alumni.

Our mission is to provide resources and support to organizations focused on access to education, career readiness and opportunity.

When it comes to doing social good, our people make the difference. Whether it’s volunteering or through our global charitable matching program, we empower and encourage our teams to get involved and support the communities in which we live and work.
