Who We Are
Corvias – [kor-vee-us] cor meaning heart and via by way of
John G. Picerne, Founder, established Corvias to reflect our
commitment to serving “by way of the heart,” since it represents
the driving force behind everything that we do. At the “heart” of our
organization is our mission to improve lives.
We are one company, with one mission: Living Made Better®. We work
on behalf of the U.S. military, colleges and universities and public sector
agencies to deliver tailored solutions that remedy some of America’s
most challenging deficiencies in infrastructure and facilities caused by
budgetary constraints and chronic underinvestment.
Since 2001, we have developed 26 concurrent partnerships, offering
each partner an investment of time, personnel, and resources to develop
the best solution for that program. We pursue alliances where our
unique, but proven partnership model, dramatically improves quality
of life, while simultaneously improving the financial strength and
infrastructure for our partner.
“During the early
stages of the Army’s
public-private military
housing program, I
told those in charge
of selecting private
firms to participate
in the program that
they should look into
the heart of the firms’
CEOs, so they could
make sure they were
going to get the kind
of partners needed for
this important housing
initiative. In John
Picerne, we all saw
someone with exactly
the kind of heart we
wanted on our team.”

Making Today a Better Tomorrow
Founded in 2006 as the charitable arm of Corvias Group, Corvias Foundation works to increase access
to educational, internship, mentoring, and volunteering opportunities so that those who are touched are
empowered to pursue their dreams and to make a greater impact in service of their communities and
their nation.
Funding Education
We see first-hand the exciting potential of the next generation of
leaders, and of the colleges and universities that shape them. Corvias
Foundation focuses on direct educational support to students who are
striving to reach higher. Corvias Foundation helps individuals exceed
their personal, educational and professional development goals through
significant scholarships and grants, internships, academic support,
and access to mentors. Our scholarships are uniquely empowering for
college-bound students because they provide reliable, recurring financial
assistance over their four years of study, as well as a support network
that is committed to their academic and professional growth.
Giving Back
Corvias Foundation works with a wide variety of partners, including
students, charitable organizations, employees, military installations,
colleges and universities, and many more, to perform strategic
philanthropic outreach. Corvias Foundation also creates customized,
impactful volunteer experiences in the communities and campuses
where we live and serve. Through “giving back” days, organized outreach
projects, donation matching, and national campaigns, Corvias Foundation
encourages and empowers individuals to find ways to identify and impact
deserving people and organizations across the country.
Creating Connections
Our partners, donors, mentors, and all scholarship and educational
grant recipients become members of the Corvias Foundation family
devoted to mutual support, encouragement, and inspiration. Foundation
staff works closely with our scholars to ensure success in academic
and professional development, and to foster an enduring aspiration
towards self- and community-improvement. Corvias Foundation works
together with students, colleges and universities, military families and
our employees to empower individuals to reach higher and contribute
to communities in a more meaningful way. By working together and
utilizing the connections that we make through the Foundation, the
Corvias Foundation family is a network dedicated to reaching higher in
personal, professional, and philanthropic endeavors.

Our approach
In our partnerships with the U.S. Military, colleges universities and public sector agencies, we leverage our
alternative delivery model to develop sustainable, tailor-made solutions. Combining innovative design,
construction, access to private financing and long-term project management allows us to accelerate project
timelines, reduce costs and ensure surety of execution. As a privately owned firm, we focus on our partners’
best-interests and long-term sustainable project reinvestment, rather than the competing pressure of
maximizing shareholder returns.

Corvias Solutions
Corvias Solutions partners with public sector institutions to solve their toughest environmental, energy
and infrastructure challenges. Our first-of-its-kind, 30-year partnership with Prince George’s County
demonstrates the adaptability of our public-private-partnership by addressing environmental regulatory
requirements for stormwater management, while also strengthening local economic development.
• Integrated: A holistic solution that delivers better, more efficient
program management, design, installation and maintenance services.
• Affordable: A proven program spanning not just upfront capital cost
but the full investment lifecycle, including long-term operations and
maintenance providing about twice the acres in half the time at a
fraction of the cost of traditional procurement practices.
• Long-Term: The 30-year Partnership will retrofit 2,000 acres
with Corvias managing the design, construction and long-term
maintenance, ensuring proper implementation and management of
stormwater assets that are maintained over their full lifecycle.
• Stormwater Center of Excellence: The Partnership will position
Prince George’s County as a Stormwater Center of Excellence within
the County by linking County-based businesses with opportunities
supported by training and education programs at existing local
and community organizations like Prince George’s Community
College. This includes the development of a mentor-protégé network
to enhance skill levels and utilization of local, small and minority
businesses in 30-40% of total project scope.
• Connections: We invest significantly in community outreach
including ongoing engagement with our Partners, County residents,
community organizations and local businesses.
