Intel Corporation is committed to maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in the communities where the company has a major presence.
Our primary giving focus is education; we Intel has a strong interest in supporting K–12/higher education and community programs that deliver the kind of educational opportunities that all students will need to prepare themselves to succeed in the 21st century. Intel vigorously supports education through grants for programs that advance science, math and technology education, particularly for women and underserved populations.
Intel is also committed to the responsible use of natural resources, and funding for environmental programs will be considered. Within this broad category, Intel continues to give priority to programs with educational and technological components.
Intel will support additional programs that improve the quality of life in its site communities. These requests will be evaluated on the basis of the services offered and the program's impact on the community; its focus on diversity and multiculturalism; its impact on the youth of our community; the cost-effectiveness of the program and its ability to be effectively measured and replicated; and the potential for Intel employee involvement.
