Texas Instruments Foundation
The U.S.-based TI Foundation (TIF), established in 1952 and incorporated in 1964, was built on the idea that our communities are our greatest resources and should share in TI's success.
The TI Foundation, funded by TI, is a separate, 501(c)(3) organization. It comprises a 10-member board, which meets quarterly to determine what grants to support. In 2008, the TI Foundation paid $7.8 million in grants and matching gifts.
The TI Foundation established a matching gifts program in 1970 to encourage U.S. employees, retirees and directors to contribute to public and private educational institutions. TI encourages their donations by matching their support to eligible education as well as arts and cultural groups – up to $10,000 per person per category each year.
Our matching gifts program continues to evolve. In 2008, the program began offering the ability to apply for matching funds online in addition to phone or mail.
