Being a positive force in the world is a fundamental value at Motorola. It factors into all we do within our businesses and it drives our philanthropic programs and priorities. To make sure our giving efforts are aligned with our values, Motorola follows a thorough planning process that identifies needs and opportunities, and sets our philanthropic priorities.

The strategic focus that emerges allows Motorola to make a significant impact in its chosen areas. This strategic process is guided by the Motorola Foundation and its Corporate Giving Committee, which is comprised of a cross section of Motorola leaders from throughout the organization. Our strategic focus emphasizes the following:

• Education:  With programs that encourage an interest in science, technology, engineering and math — particularly among girls and the underserved minorities.
• Connecting the unconnected:  To help bring the transformative power of wireless communication to communities that might otherwise be overlooked.
• Critical community needs:  To support a wide variety of programs that have a direct impact in the communities where we do business.
• Employee involvement:  With their time, energy and pocketbooks, Motorola employees play a crucial role in nearly all of our philanthropic efforts.

In addition to these four key activities, Motorola and our employees also can be counted on to help deliver relief when natural disasters strike — anywhere in the world. We also are stewards of the environment, supporting recycling programs as well as environmental education and preservation.
