Cisco Systems Offers Cash Grants to Support Education and Critical Needs in Local Communities
Cisco Systems' Community Impact Cash Grants Program supports the needs of underserved communities within a fifty-mile radius of a Cisco office or facility.
Individual grants of up to $15,000 are awarded in support of education initiatives in local communities to improve literacy and science instruction or increase the number of graduates in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. The program also support organizations, projects, and initiatives designed to help residents meet their basic needs for food, shelter, disaster response, water, access to healthcare, and/or breaking the cycle of poverty.
To be considered for a Community Impact grant, organizations must have a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service and must serve a constituency that is economically underserved relative to median income level in the target geography.
Community Impact Cash Grants are available to qualifying organizations within a fifty-mile radius of major Cisco communities, including Bangalore, India; Boxborough, Massachusetts; Lawrenceville, Georgia; Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; Richardson, Texas; San Jose, California; Shanghai/Beijing, China; and Toronto, Canada.
