Humanitarian

As the philanthropic partner of IEEE, the IEEE Foundation translates the values of IEEE members and donors into social impact and advances the IEEE mission across the globe.

The IEEE Foundation connects 200+ IEEE member-led initiatives with financing, expertise, and philanthropic guidance. Its goal is to put effort where philanthropy and technology intersect. The investment of time, talent, and treasure from generous donors supports IEEE programs that improve access to technology, enhance technological literacy, and support technical education and the IEEE professional community.

The IEEE Foundation, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization in the United States:

Inspires donations to IEEE, bringing visibility, focus, scale, impact, and relevance to the work of IEEE through philanthropy
Manages donations for IEEE, ensuring effective financial management and strong governance
Invests in programs of IEEE, turning the donations into action and impact through IEEE programs

The IEEE Foundation serves as a steward of donations that improve the human condition. It empowers the next generation of engineers and scientists, educates and raises awareness, energizes and recognizes innovation, and preserves the history of technology. With donor support, the IEEE Foundation strives to be a leader in transforming lives through the power of technology and education.
