DFI Sustaining Members are Corporate Member firms who contribute to a special fund to supplement the dues income used to expand DFI’s educational goals. The contributions are used as follows:

• To continue with and improve upon DFI’s Continuing Education Seminars, allowing DFI to remain a leader in information transfer for the deep foundations industry.
• To support the Paul DeBruyn Memorial Scholarship Fund in honor of the late Paul DeBruyn, a DFI member who initiated the idea of a scholarship fund. The scholarship fund provides students with complimentary attendance to DFI conferences and seminars.

The Sustaining Membership Fund and the Paul DeBruyn Memorial Scholarship Fund are managed by the DFI Educational Trust.
