One of the key corporate values of Intel is to “be an asset to our communities worldwide.” Through constant and collaborative interactions with its external stakeholders, Intel strives to become an asset in the communities where it operates. The Intel® Involved in the Community Program is a volunteer program that interacts with local communities, and focuses on four key areas – technology inclusion, education, environment stewardship and safety, and community development.

A key component of Intel’s community programs is the Intel Involved Matching Grant Program (IIMGP). For every 20 volunteer hours logged by employees, the Intel Foundation donates US$80 to local schools and non-profit organizations. These cash grants go towards building infrastructure or learning tools such as libraries, science labs or sports equipment. To celebrate Intel’s 40th anniversary in 2008, Intel donated a record 435,000 hours of service to local communities in the Asia Pacific region. Employees in Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam were involved, with many of these countries participating in volunteering programs for the first time. Projects that Intel Involved volunteers have initiated and participated in included:

• Tutoring school students in the areas of science, math and technology
• Providing school supplies and building new infrastructure in schools
• Environmental programs such as recycling programs and tree planting
• Raising funds and assisting in disaster relief efforts.
