The fund also plans to use its contributions to assist specific projects of hospitals, universities, research and development centers, and nonprofits. These contributions will focus on assisting these entities with the acquisition of medical supplies and medical equipment, as well as in the development of treatments and vaccines.

"Our company values its employees and strongly supports the local communities where we work and live," said Patrick Rhode, United States Vice President of Corporate Affairs of Ferrovial. "This is a challenging time for many, but we will get through this crisis together."
