Grant requests in general

How do I apply for a grant?
HP social investments (philanthropy) in the US are programmatic in nature. Many programs have a Request for Proposals that describe specific eligibility, due dates, and the process for applying. Current grant opportunities are described on the HP Social Investments (US) homepage.

If I have a proposal that does not fit a current HP grant program, can I still apply for a grant?
No. HP in the U.S. does not accept unsolicited requests for grants.

Are there requests HP doesn't fund?
Yes. Most of our programs are competitive, and not all submissions can be funded.

I'm seeking HP equipment or a cash grant for myself. What do I do?
We don't fund philanthropic requests from individuals. However, we do have a variety of resources -- such as product discounts for students and educators. See Product Purchases & Discounts

How do I get support for research?
HP Social Investments in the US are not available to fund independent research requests.

Who do I talk to about sponsoring my idea or my organization's event?
HP Social Investments in the US does not fund sponsorships. HP Corporate Marketing sponsors a limited number of major organizations and events that provide opportunities to showcase HP technology and gain visibility for HP products and services throughout the world. Visit HP’s "sponsorships" website for more information.

Does HP donate used products?
No. However, information about purchasing high-quality refurbished HP products is available at our Home and Home Office Outlet Shopping website and the HP Business Outlet.

What are your grant programs outside the U.S.?
You can access the relevant HP website for information about non-U.S. programs at our HP Global Social Investment home page.

I'm an HP employee and I'd like to get a grant for an organization I support. What do I do?
You can contribute directly to schools and non-profits through HP’s Product Gift or Cash Matching programs. US Employees can access information about these programs via the HP Intranet. Organizations that you support may also apply directly to any HP grant program for which they are eligible.

I'm a student. Does HP have scholarships and internships?
HP does offer summer internships. Review current openings and submit your resume on-line at our Jobs @ HP website.

I have a suggestion for a fundraiser. Who do I talk to?
HP does not grants to support fundraisers.

Product Purchases & Discounts

Can we buy HP products at a discount?
HP is pleased to offer education discounts to students, educators, and institutions:

Can you send me product catalogs?

Other questions

Can I donate my used HP equipment to a non-profit organization or school?
While HP does not have a used-equipment donation program, we offer return programs for HP and other manufacturers' hardware in a number of geographic areas. Returned products are reused, recycled or disposed of responsibly. For more information, visit our "return and recycling" website.

Can one of your engineers help my non-profit organization or school with technical problems?
We do not have a companywide resource to address this need. For information about paid support of HP products, visit our "Support" website.

Are there specific colleges and universities where HP recruits?
Yes. HP recruits at many of the leading colleges and universities in the U.S. and around the world. For more information about U.S. recruiting, visit our "U.S. college recruiting" website.
