Silicon Valley companies are some of the most generous philanthropists in the world. Our region’s companies are driven to solve not only the world’s most exciting challenges, but also our most difficult social issues. As the comprehensive center of philanthropy, Silicon Valley Community Foundation has closely examined the trends in corporate citizenship of companies in our region. The research in this report provides a benchmark of Bay Area corporate citizenship practices, explores models of corporate citizenship in the region and looks at what’s next for Bay Area corporate giving. The research demonstrates the diversity of our region, the admirable generosity of our residents and the innovative spirit that is of integral value to the Silicon Valley. Looking ahead, we believe that our region’s companies will continue to integrate giving into their core business models and operations. We also believe that employees will increasingly consider a company’s engagement in corporate social responsibility in deciding where to work. Leading corporations will forge the way in driving positive change that will be felt by residents worldwide through collaborative and thoughtful philanthropic work. SVCF and the 100 companies we partner with are working to make a difference both locally and around the world. This report highlights the ways in which companies give back, while also looking at where and how companies’ philanthropy will evolve in the years to come. We extend our thanks to the many companies that participated in this research, and look forward to future work together. Emmett D.
