Texas Instruments has been committed to corporate citizenship since it
was founded over 80 years ago. They believe that strong communities build
strong companies and strong companies build strong communities.
With its philanthropic and volunteer efforts, TI focuses on improving lives and
strengthening communities where it operates. With a goal of helping every child
succeed, the company strives to improve learning and teaching, especially
science, technology, engineering and math skills in the U.S., and access to
education around the world.
"With strategic assistance and support from SVCF, TI has been able to
expand our investments in education and critical needs in our major site
communities in the U.S., Asia and Europe. We have achieved not only greater
employee engagement, but have also increased the impact of our giving,"
said Trisha Cunningham, TI's chief citizenship officer.
Silicon Valley Community Foundation has partnered with Texas Instruments
since 2011, following the company's acquisition of National Semiconductor,
a partner since 2000. SVCF has helped the company's nonprofit cohort
focused on STEM education with setting goals, measuring impact and
facilitating conversations among like-minded nonprofit organizations. TI and
SVCF also partner closely on the Silicon Valley Common Core Initiative, an
initiative focused on the successful implementation of Common Core State
Standards in public schools in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
SVCF provided TI strategic expertise as they grew their philanthropic and
employee programs globally. SVCF has administered its global employee
engagement recognition program, the TI Founders Community Service
Awards, by identifying the most compelling employee applications and
virtually facilitating a global external committee to make final decisions.
