Founded in 1989, the Intel Foundation is a philanthropic organization focused on programs that advance education and improve communities worldwide. By providing funding for national and localized grants, the foundation helps fuel innovation in classrooms, empower women and underserved youth, and enables Intel employees to serve the needs of their communities. The goals of the Intel Foundation are to increase interest in math and science education, and to help develop a future workforce that represents the diversity around the world.
Promoting math and science education
The Intel Foundation sponsors the Intel Science Talent Search and Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, both programs of the Society for Science & the Public.
Additionally, the Intel Schools of Distinction Award honors innovation in the classroom, and the Intel+UC Berkeley Technology Entrepreneurship Challenge supports initiatives in developing countries.
Inspiring youth around the world
With programs geared towards youth in underserved communities, such as the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network and the Intel® Learn Program, the Intel Foundation fosters encouraging and stimulating environments for kids to help them build problem solving, collaboration, and technology skills.
