Welcome
A Letter to Our Community
Dear friends,
When we started dlivrd Difference, we made ourselves a simple promise: every success would become an opportunity to give back. This report is our way of showing you what that promise looked like in 2026.
It looked like a softball team in new uniforms and a young gymnast receiving her scholarship. It looked like a rising river that washed away everything a man owned, and a phone call that made sure he didn't have to start over alone. It looked like our team in Bucaramanga, Colombia sharing a mural, a meal and an afternoon of games with the kids at Fundación Capaz, and our team in Pennsylvania standing with the Abington police at the Abington Triathlon.
We learned something this year that we want to share with you. The most powerful thing a company can do isn't write a single big check. It is to keep showing up, month after month, for the same people and the same places. That is why so many of the partners in these pages are not new to us. They are relationships we plan to keep.
None of this happens without the people behind it: drivers, who nominate the students they believe in; our clients and partners, whose success funds this work; and our teams in the U.S. and Colombia, who give their time and their hearts.
Thank you for being part of our story. We can't wait to see what we build together next.
With gratitude,
dlivrd Technologies Inc.
About us
Who We Are
dlivrd Difference is the social impact arm of dlivrd Technologies Inc. We turn the success of dTech and its partners into community impact, through donations, partnerships and volunteer time.
Our Purpose
To make every delivery and every success a force for good, proving that business growth and community giving go hand in hand.
What makes us different
We don't believe in performative giving. We believe showing up consistently is the most powerful form of impact. So we build long-term relationships, not one-time campaigns.
Our values
- Purpose Through Business
- Transparency
- Shared Success
- Lasting Impact
- Responsibility
How we give
Our four pillars
Food Insecurity
Food banks, breakfast programs, local kitchen partnerships and direct donations, so no family goes hungry.
First Responders & Community
Police partnerships, trust-building events and local health and wellness programs, so neighborhoods feel safe and connected.
Environmental Sustainability
Emissions offsetting, environmental volunteering and community cleanups, so our deliveries leave a lighter footprint.

Gifts
for Grads
Believing in What They're Still Becoming
Recognizing a student is not about what they have done yet. It is about believing in what they are still becoming.
What it is
Gifts for Grads is an initiative of dlivrd Difference that awards scholarships to recent high school graduates heading to college or trade school. What makes it special is who chooses them: drivers who use one of the platforms of dlivrd Technologies Inc. and its family of companies. They are the people who know their communities best, and they nominate the students they see working hard every day.
How it works
- 1Nomination
Drivers who use a dlivrd Technologies Inc. platform nominate students they believe deserve to be recognized and supported.
- 2Selection
Each student is reviewed through a thoughtful process that centers potential, effort and circumstance.
- 3Recognition
Selected students receive a scholarship, presented in person at their graduation celebration.
- 4Storytelling
With consent, students and families share their moments, in their own words.

Share the Care
From Local Impact to Global Connection
What it is. Share the Care is our volunteer mini-series. It started in early 2025 with a simple idea: some of the most important work in our communities happens quietly, and it deserves to be seen. In each episode, our team shows up at a nonprofit, rolls up its sleeves, and helps tell that organization's story to a wider audience.
From Philadelphia to Bucaramanga, Share the Care connects our teams in the U.S. and Colombia through acts of service.
It's not about helping once. It's about staying.
Share the Care
The episodes
EP 1
Hands in ServiceWarrington, PA
Launched during National Volunteer Month, our first episode featured a nonprofit that has run medical missions, disaster relief and donation distribution since 2008, supporting more than 130 other nonprofits.
EP 2
Fundación Mica SonrisasBucaramanga, Colombia
Share the Care went international with a foundation fighting child malnutrition and improving mobility and education access. They have delivered more than 30,000 breakfasts and thousands of bicycles.
EP 3
Abington Sprint Triathlon
We sponsored the inaugural race alongside the Abington Township Police Department, celebrating health, wellness and community trust. The relationship grew so strong that we returned as a sponsor in 2026.
EP 4
Kisses for Kyle Foundation
Powered by our "Donation Dish Word" on Talk Tech Live: every time a guest said the word of the day, dlivrd donated. The funds went directly to families fighting childhood cancer across the Delaware Valley.
Share the Care · continued
EP 5
Fundación CapazColombia
Our team spent a day with the Capaz community. We donated a mural to their Casa de la Cultura, shared food with the children, and spent the afternoon playing and dancing together. That day became the start of a monthly, long-term partnership.
St. Peter's Community Fridge
We teamed up with Gerhard’s Appliances for a charity softball tournament, with every dollar raised going to the St. Peter’s Food Cupboard. Our team also donated about $1,000 worth of food. Together, the community filled a whole truckload of goods for the Abington Community Pantry and St. Peter’s Church, neighbors showing up for neighbors.
It is not just about helping once. It is about staying.
“Together, we donated a full truckload of food, raised funds, and collected canned goods for the Abington Community Pantry and St. Peter’s Church, giving back to our neighbors in need. We couldn’t have done it without every partner who showed up.”
— Ally Gerhard, Gerhard’s Appliances
“The experience has been great. Seeing what we can do for these kids in the community, helping out as best we can has been awesome so far.”
- Austin Bauerle, dlivrd Difference

Up For
Some partnerships start with a single event and never really end. Kisses for Kyle and Fundación Capaz are the clearest picture of what we mean by showing up consistently: not one check, but a relationship that grows a little more every month.
Featured Partnership
Kisses for Kyle Foundation
Who they are. The Kisses for Kyle Foundation supports families fighting childhood cancer across the Delaware Valley.
Our story together. We met through Share the Care. On Talk Tech Live, every time a guest said the "Donation Dish Word" of the day, dlivrd donated, and every dollar went to Kisses for Kyle. That episode turned into a friendship. Today, when Kisses for Kyle needs a place to bring families together, our doors are open.
Moments from the year
- Bingo Night We opened our office for six hours of games, prizes and laughter with 40 families.
- Movie Night A cozy night in for families who needed one.
- Casino Night (Nov 6, 2026) Our biggest event yet, co-hosted with Kisses for Kyle at Verde Colab in Glenside. Guests will try their luck at 15 casino tables (blackjack, poker, craps, roulette and a money wheel), with a silent auction, raffle, food, drinks and music. Our goal is to raise $50,000, split equally between dlivrd Difference and Kisses for Kyle, and VIP tickets sold out weeks ahead. Web: https://dlivrddifference.org/casino-night/ · Final results: Q4 update
- A home base Since June, we've donated office space for the foundation's events and work.
- Everyday support We cover a monthly Verde membership for the foundation.
Featured Partnership · Colombia
Fundación Capaz
Who they are. Fundación Capaz works with children and young people in Colombia through youth programs, dance and cultural activities.
Our story together. It began with one Share the Care volunteer day. Our team spent the day with the Capaz community. By the end of it, we knew one visit wasn't enough. Capaz became our first monthly, long-term partner. Since then, we keep dreaming up new ways to show up, from English classes to the mural.
Moments from the year
- Snacks, every month Each month we bring enough snacks to last the whole month for children from low-income families.
- Costumes for Mexico We funded the costumes for the dancers' trip to perform in Mexico.
- A festival of their own We sponsored Capaz's own dance festival in the north of Bucaramanga.
- English classes Volunteers from our team teach English classes to Capaz students.
- A mural to rehearse under Our team painted a mural at their rehearsal space.
Pillar 1
Kids & Youth
Room to Grow
Every kid deserves a team to belong to, a coach who believes in them, and a door that opens when they're ready to walk through it. Kids & Youth is our largest pillar.

Kids & Youth
Every kid deserves a team
This year we helped keep young athletes on the field. We sponsored Warrington Baseball (800 families), GYAC and Springfield Little League Softball. We backed Girls on the Run Piedmont, which builds confidence in young girls through running. And when the Roslyn Boys & Girls Club basketball team made it to the state championship, we helped them get there.
Standing with families in hard seasons
Some of our deepest partnerships are with families facing childhood illness. Our work with the Kisses for Kyle Foundation, one of our two featured partners, has its own page (page 17). We were also a Diamond Sponsor of the Hatboro-Horsham THON, raising funds for Four Diamonds childhood cancer research.
Making room for every child
We supported a movie night for San Diego families of children with special needs through the Special Needs Resource Foundation (200 families). With Bojangles, we joined Nathaniel's Hope for their Orlando "Make 'em Smile" event, reaching 1,500 families. We also sponsored Sunrise Day Camp (200 families) and a golf outing for The Breathing Room (150 families).
Opening doors to education
Beyond Gifts for Grads, we funded $6,000 in Horsham scholarships for two students. Pending resource
In Colombia: Fundación Capaz
Our monthly partnership with Fundación Capaz, from snacks to English classes, is featured on page 18.

A parade for the whole town. Our largest single gift of the year, $10,000, went to the Greater Glenside Patriotic Parade, a tradition that brings about 500 local families together.
Back at the starting line. After sponsoring the first Abington Sprint Triathlon, we came back in 2026 with a $5,000 sponsorship alongside the Abington Township Police Department. It's a day that puts first responders and neighbors side by side, celebrating health and community.
A foundation we stand behind. We gave $7,856 across three gifts to the Kevin Regan Family Foundation, and our team joined their golf outing last October.
Food Insecurity & Shelter
A Warm Meal, a Safe Place
No one should have to choose between a meal and a warm night's sleep.
$10,226given
72volunteer hours

A team day at Marvin's Home. Our team spent 72 hours volunteering and donated $5,000.
When a river took everything. A member of our community called us about a friend experiencing homelessness whom he'd been supporting. After a storm, a rising river had washed away all of his supplies. We covered $482 to help him replace what he'd lost. It was a small gift, and it's one of the stories we're proudest of.
Warmth for winter. We donated 48 blankets to DOPE to hand out to people experiencing homelessness.
Meals that travel. We supported Hungry Souls Austin ($2,572.50, 83 families), Meals on Wheels America and Share Food.
YMCA, Food for Families in need. Our team in Colombia joined the YMCA Foundation to fight food insecurity close to home. We packed the food kits together and delivered them in person to people in need in Bucaramanga.
Environmental Sustainability
Lighter Footprints
Every delivery we make travels through someone's neighborhood. We believe we owe those neighborhoods, and the planet, something back.
$12,563invested
1,342tonnes CO₂ offset
3.3Mmiles driven, all offset
Offsetting every mile. Through our monthly partnership with Ecologi, we offset the carbon from our expedite deliveries: 3.3 million miles driven, and every tonne offset. Our contributions fund reforestation and certified landfill gas projects.
Caring for a local treasure. We gave $1,500 to Friends of the Wissahickon to protect one of Philadelphia's most loved green spaces.
