Each year Cisco donates cash grants, products, and technical and business expertise so nonprofit organizations can use the latest Internet and networking technology to provide better services to their clients. In addition, the Cisco Systems Foundation, a separate, private, nonprofit (501c3) organization, makes cash grants to eligible nonprofits, primarily within the United States.
Our company uses a unique combination of people, products, and cash to strategically partner with nonprofits that focus on three social issues:
- Promoting educational and economic development
- Meeting basic human needs
- Providing crisis relief
By partnering with nonprofits, such as the ones described in this report, Cisco is able to understand the specific needs of each organization. We can then determine the right blend of resources, including people, technology, and financing, to develop sustainable solutions that ultimately help these organizations transform their operations.
