In the firm’s 50th anniversary year, as current and retired personnel came together from all offices to celebrate and work together on a firm-wide service initiative, there was a greater recognition of the firm’s collective commitment to community service. It was during this time that firm leaders realized the value of harnessing the spirit of Holland & Hart’s unique culture of effecting positive change for the greater good. Under the leadership of retired partner Sam Guyton and his wife, Jean, and with the support of firm management, the Holland & Hart Foundation began its work in 1999.

The Foundation continues to focus on three primary goals:

• Recognize and encourage existing individual and group volunteerism
• Support additional opportunities for individual, office and firm-wide volunteer projects
• Provide educational programs on topics of interest

All of these activities include present and former attorneys, staff and their families.
