Giving guidelines – TI corporate
Advance STEM student engagement. Support programs that increase the number and diversity of secondary school graduates who are math- and science-proficient and who choose STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) careers. Arts/culture and health/human service agencies are eligible to receive grants under this category so long as the request is for a STEM program.
Improve the quality of life in TI plant-site communities by:
- Enhancing communities through the arts: Support those premier arts and culture institutions that will boost the economic growth of cities where TI operates.
- Building healthy communities: Fund health and human service programs that address our communities’ greatest needs. Due to the TI Foundation’s and TI employees’ long-time support of United Way, only limited support of United Way agencies will be considered.
- Enriching civic and business climates: Such programs will be funded based on community and economic impact.
- Education. Fund programs that emphasize math and science education, including STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) teacher effectiveness. Education grant decisions are made in the first quarter of each year.
- Arts and culture. Support arts and cultural institutions that will boost the economic growth of the communities and attract and retain employees in our plant site locations. Arts and culture grant decisions are made in the second quarter of each year.
- Community services. Enrich health and human services programs that meet the greatest community needs. This includes:
- Capital or civic campaigns. We consider supporting such campaigns based on community needs and economic impact.
- Health and human services. We primarily support services through the TI Foundation's annual United Way donations. Beyond United Way, we also provide limited support to organizations meeting the community’s greatest needs. Community services grant decisions are made in the third quarter of each year.
