It is Hewlett-Packard EMEA's intent to contribute to the welfare of the communities where HP operates. HP EMEA, through its Philanthropy and Education programs, is willing to help education institutions and non-lucrative organizations by providing them with HP equipment that can be of use in pursuing their activities.
Our primary goal is to provide resources and tools to transform and improve teaching and learning in education settings by improving the quality and accessibility of math, science, and engineering instruction
|
|
In the EMEA region, HP Philanthropy and Education supports exclusively non-profit accredited institutions (not individuals) and the following criteria are taken into consideration when examining a request:
- The request comes directly from the beneficiary.
- Priority is given to educational institutions and non-profit associations. This priority does not, however, exclude other institutions (health care providers, cultural centers, etc.) to be granted an HP donation. Priority is given to organizations that have few subventions.
- Organizations with political, philosophical/religious, military or paramilitary interests are not eligible.
- Grantee must not have provided and will not provide support or resources to any individual or entity that advocates, plans, sponsors, engages in, or has engaged in terrorist activity; or to anyone who acts as an agent for such an individual or entity. Support or resources include currency or other financial instruments, financial services, lodging, training, safe houses, false documentation or identification, communication equipment, facilities, weapons, lethal substances, explosives, personnel, transportation, and any other services or physical assets. Any violation of this certification is grounds for return to the donor of all funds advanced to grantee.

Request for grants of HP equipment must be accompanied by a specific statement about the philanthropic intent of the request.
- For example, a request for equipment to support teaching and research activities at a university should outline the benefits to the students in terms of extending their knowledge, or creating new curricula, or preparing them to successfully enter the job market, etc.
- Possible benefits to HP (eg: publicity, recruiting, transferable research, etc.) must appear to be of secondary importance and will not justify a grant.
| Should the project produce results that, while in the public domain, are subject to copyright, the proponent must specify in the proposal that the results will be shared with HP on a non-exclusive and copyright free basis with the right to distribute and license the results without limitations.
The main document should be structured as follows: |
| |
Project title and date |
|
|
It is assumed that a 'project' already exists and that the HP grant will significantly, but not exclusively, impact the execution and positive outcome of the project. The title should be specific to the role of the HP equipment in the project and references should be made in the text to the impact expected from the grant. |
| |
Participants to the projects |
|
|
Names, roles, addresses (e-mail, phone, fax) of the contributors to the project. This information should also refer to the 'principal investigator' of the project and to the name of the Department Director or equivalent person enabled to legally accept the HP grant. |
| |
Summary |
|
|
Here the proponent should describe the objective of the project, the purpose and role of the requested HP equipment and the philanthropic intent of the grant (stating the benefits to society, not just to the requesting institution). |
| |
Background |
|
|
The background to the project (which is independent of the availability of the grant) should be described to provide the context in which the HP grant is positioned.
The rationale behind the project , its expected impact in its field of interest, the experience and leadership of the contributors to the project are all factors that should appear here. |
| |
Milestones |
|
|
Intermediate objectives with target dates should be given to pace the progress of the project. |
| |
Description of activities |
|
|
Here the proponent should describe in sufficient detail the plan or the phases in which the activities relating to the use of the HP equipment will be organized and the management process and ownership for the implementation. |
| |
Configuration |
|
|
Define exactly which HP products you would like to get by consulting www.hp.com in order of priority. The proponent should also indicate the commercial contact (HP sales rep, dealer, and distributor) that helped configure the products and check the reference numbers with them. |
