Giving and volunteering
TI is committed to building stronger communities where we live and work around the world.
Building stronger communities
For decades, TI and the TI Foundation have worked to strengthen and improve the quality of life in our global site communities through well-considered and well-measured investments to improve the communities where we live and work, and engage TI employees through giving and volunteering programs.
Our employees and our retirees regularly give and volunteer to help solve local needs. Their voice and community mindedness are supported by the TI Foundation by matching their monetary contributions up to $30,000 and the value of their volunteer hours up to $1,000 per year.
Where we invest
Our highest philanthropic priority is education. We fund programs that provide high-quality STEM education for students in low-income school districts, primarily through increasing the effectiveness of teachers and principals. We also fund human services programs that offer pathways to our neighbors who need essential social services. In our headquarters city, we support arts organizations that express the multitude of cultures and peoples in our community. The TI Foundation also matches our employees’ and retirees’ donations of dollars and time. To learn more about eligibility, click here.
Volunteering
Our employees are passionate about giving back and improving the quality of life in their communities. TI has more than 20 employee-led global community involvement teams and other civic-minded employees who work hard to solve local needs.
At nearly 278,000 hours of employee and retiree time donated, the number of hours spent volunteering increased from 2022 to a value of $8.8 million in 2023. In the U.S., the TI Foundation matches the value of employees’ volunteer hours up to $1,000 per year, which added nearly $460,000 of additional support for their favorite causes.
