ABOUT INTEL ARIZONA

As one of Arizona’s largest employers, Intel has a positive economic impact on the state, providing 9,700 jobs to its residents. Forty percent of those employees report volunteering in the community. Intel Arizona employees are also committed to supporting their local communities through financial contributions. The 2010 Arizona United Way employee contribution and Intel Corporate gift program gave a combined total of $7.1 million.

Community involvement

Intel Arizona employees support their local communities by volunteering in local schools, supporting recycling programs, and providing assistance to underserved members of the community. Nearly 4100 employees volunteered 150,000 hours in Arizona communities resulting in over $1M in grants to local non-profits and schools.

Here are some of the programs we’re most proud of:

• Helping students understand how math and science relate to their world
• Adopting a local elementary school
• Sponsoring local and regional science fairs in support of the Arizona State Science and Engineering Fair (AzSEF)
• Supporting a PC recycling day and other Earth Day activities
• Providing holiday items for underserved students and seniors
• Participating in skills-based volunteering activities
