HP has a long history of commitment to community investment. Our
company's founders demonstrated that commitment when recording their
first charitable contribution in 1940, the first year HP made a profit.
Over the past 20 years, HP has donated more than $1 billion in cash and
HP products to schools, colleges, universities, nonprofit organizations
and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) around the world.
Over the last five years, HP has invested more than $277 million in communities worldwide. During fiscal year 2006, HP contributed nearly $46 million worldwide to help students, teachers and nonprofits reap the benefits of technology in learning, in building prosperity, and in information.
Decisions about investing our resources are made on a regional level, targeting the projects and opportunities most likely to make a meaningful difference in local communities.
In our reporting, we strive to publish not only the results of our giving and the impact of our grants but also our best practices so that others may benefit from the learning.
