Since our founding, philanthropy and helping the community have been a part of the Xerox culture. Today, we invest about $12.5 million each year. This includes grants in workforce preparedness, supporting science and technology programs, and being involved in community projects. Additionally, our professionals volunteer with more than 550 organizations around the world.
From our inception, Xerox has helped shape the idea of corporate social responsibility. Our education and social service efforts reflect our belief that a successful corporation must be an active participant in society.
Xerox remains committed to a program of grants to colleges and universities that prepare qualified men and women for careers in business, government and education. Xerox also is committed to furthering the advancement of knowledge in science and technology and enhancing learning opportunities for all.
The Xerox Foundation is the hand that gives something back to the communities from which we draw our employees, our customers, and our freedom to conduct business.
This gives you management-supported opportunities to volunteer your time, talents and energies, either individually or collectively, to help solve community problems. Since the program began in 1974, nearly 405,000 employees have participated in more than 15,000 projects, donating millions of volunteer hours. Each year, nearly 1/3 of our U.S. workforce participates in this program.
If you’re deeply committed to social change, this gives you the opportunity to take a one-year paid sabbatical to work in a social service program. Since 1974, we’ve granted sabbaticals of up to one year to 475 employees.
How we help students at all levels improve their chances of succeeding in school – and in life. Some of these programs include:
We fully support the United Way. Through this program, you can make donations to the United Way or volunteer with the organization.
Your contributions to institutions of higher education will be matched by The Xerox Foundation up to a maximum of $1,000.
