Sid Foulger, a Mormon, established Foulger-Pratt in 1963, according to the company's web site. His sons and son-in-law have since taken leadership positions in the business; they did not make Prop 8 contributions. The company is divided into four operating units: Foulger-Pratt Contracting, LLC, Foulger-Pratt Development, Inc., Foulger-Pratt Management, Inc. and Pioneer Building Services.
Sid Foulger does not directly manage any of the branches, but acts as the chairman. His office did not return calls seeking comment on the Prop 8 donation.
Among Foulger-Pratt's completed projects is the Mormon temple in Kensington, Md. The contracting portion of the company is in charge of a large Silver Spring, Md., transit center, and the development company has projects in the works at the University of Maryland and with Kimpton Hotels.
