A core Intel commitment, practiced by our employees every day
of the year, is to be an asset to our communities worldwide.
On-site Public Affairs
We know that we need direct, meaningful relationships with our local
stakeholders to make a positive impact in our site communities. From enabling
the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network to sponsoring an initiative such as the
Big Brothers, Big Sisters Mentoring program, Intel strives to reinforce our
commitment to our local stakeholders by tailoring approaches to the local
landscape and community needs. Public Affairs professionals at all major sites
reinforce this commitment by managing ongoing dialogues and strategic
collaborations with key community leaders.
Strategic philanthropy
We know that we cannot be all things to all people. We apply the concept of
strategic philanthropy in our approach to community investments to maximize the
value of our monetary contributions and human resources. Our focus areas for
investmentwhich include education, environmental stewardship and safety,
diversity and community capacity buildingprovide the best opportunities to
align Intel business with the needs of our communities and the expertise of our
employees.
Intel Connected to Schools
In 2002, a staggering 20% of K-12 schools in Arizona were underperforming
academically. Intel Arizona looked for a way to apply the energy and resources
of the Intel Involved program to remedy the situation. The Intel Connected to
Schools (ICS) program packaged education, diversity and volunteer programs
together to achieve significant results. In less than a year, Intel selected
two Phoenix, Arizona area urban schools, trained 89% of the faculty in the
Intel Teach to the Future program and helped both schools receive computer labs
valued at $50,000 each. The schools have now moved off the state's
underperforming list, and students show an average of 25% to 29% improvement on
the state's proficiency exams. The program won the National Business and
Schools Partnership award from the U.S. Department of Education in 2004. Based
on the program's success, we are exploring ways to expand ICS to other schools
in Arizona and other states.
The Intel Foundation
Formed in 1988, the Intel Foundation is funded solely through donations from
Intel Corporation. Its four-member board of directors is made up of corporate
senior managers and is chaired by Intel CEO Craig Barrett. The Intel
Foundation's mission is
 |
To strengthen engineering and computer science education and increase
participation in these fields by women and under-represented minorities |
 |
 |
 |
To improve mathematics and science education for elementary and secondary
students |
 |
 |
 |
To foster the effective use of computer technology in education |
 |
In addition, the Foundation supports the communities in which Intel has a major
presence with donations for the United Way and disaster relief. In 2004, the
Intel Foundation provided disaster-relief funding for victims of earthquakes in
Bam, Iran, and came to the aid of communities in Turkey, Korea, Pakistan and
other areas stricken by natural disasters. The Foundation's largest effort
involved support for victims of the Asian tsunami.

The last week of the year is
traditionally a quiet time inside Intel offices. The last week of 2004 was
tragically different, however. The Indian Ocean tsunami that triggered disaster
on an almost unimaginable scale had the effect of transforming what is normally
a skeleton crew of Intel employees into a small army of emergency response
workers.
Almost immediately, an
impromptu worldwide taskforce came together to help affected employees and
assist with relief efforts. Intel Foundation President Wendy Hawkins, on
holiday break when the disaster hit, began organizing the Foundation's efforts
to contribute money for emergency assistance.
At Intel sites all over the
world, thousands of employees collected money to help the millions of survivors
in desperate and sudden need of clean water, medicine, food, clothing and
shelter. In hard-hit Pulau Betong, Malaysia, hundreds of Intel Involved
volunteers helped with cleanup efforts and personally contributed food, such as
rice and sugar.
The Foundation agreed to send
$1 million to help with relief efforts and pledged to match employee
contributions dollar-for-dollar. By the end of the giving period, more than
12,600 employees and retirees from around the world had donated over $1.77
million, resulting in a total Intel financial contribution of more than $4.5
million to tsunami relief.
Intel support was not limited
to money and food. The company also worked with the Red Cross and Mercy Corps
to provide laptop computers and servers to help manage the surge of online
communications and donations.

Giving support every day
At Intel, charitable giving is a year-round effort. For example, the Intel
Community Giving Campaign is a standing initiative that allows U.S. employees
to maximize their contributions to nonprofit organizations with an Intel
Foundation match to the United Way in their community.
In 2004, the Intel Community Giving Campaign team set a goal to raise $5 million
in employee donations. When the last pledge was counted, donations totaled
$6,274,378. Matched with Intel Foundation funds, more than $12.2 million went
to local Intel site communities, an increase of 25% over 2003.
Volunteering for impact
We measure our commitment to our communities not only in dollars but also in
hard work. We role-model Intel Values as we support local organizations through
service on nonprofit boards, oversight of strategic partnerships and
participation in volunteer initiatives. In 2004, for the first time, an average
of 30% of Intel employees from our major sites engaged in volunteer service
through the Intel Involved program.
The Intel Volunteer Matching Grant Program matches employee volunteer time to
local schools with monetary donations. In the 2003-2004 school year, 8,382
employees volunteered 188,514 hours (or 23,564 days), raising about $1.84
million for local schools in communities across the U.S. Based on this success,
we will expand the program outside the U.S. in 2005.
Corporate giving
In 2004, our corporate, Foundation and employee giving provided $97,806,785 to
communities around the globe. Employee donations for the Intel Community Giving
Campaign totaled $6,274,378, and employee donations with Matching Gifts to
Education totaled $2,910,084, for a grand contributions total of almost
$107,000,000.
Employees worldwide celebrate Global Earth Day
To honor Global Earth Day 2004, Intel Involved organized our first Intel
worldwide celebration. Employees from 27 Intel sites participated in a total of
41 Earth-enhancing projects, including community cleanups and education
initiatives, park renovations, community gardens, recycling programs and more.
In New Mexico, for example, employees and their families provided maintenance
for a trail leading to a Native American archaeological dig. In Costa Rica,
employees taught students about waste management and sponsored an "ecological
creativity" contest. In DuPont, Washington, volunteers returned to a watershed
where they had planted more than 1,600 trees the previous fall to tend to
vegetation that will prevent storm water run-off and help prevent flooding.
Sponsoring a "Better Bannerghatta"
The Bannerghatta Biological Park (BBP) in India breeds local endangered
species, develops programs for conservation awareness and maintains a rescue
center for wild animals. To create environmentally friendly areas and promote
sensitivity among the local community, Intel collaborated with the World
Wildlife Fund (WWF) for Nature in India and the BBP. Through its year-long
"Intel for a Better Bannerghatta" campaign, Intel India contributed funds and
volunteers to bring the park up to global standards. BBP is now recognized as a
prime tourist attraction and educational destination for youth.
