Anchoring purpose at the core of our business strategy
We align what matters to our employees and the communities where we live and work with who we are and what we stand for as a company. We turn our values into local action through community-centered engagement efforts.
Applied and the Applied Materials Foundation deploy charitable and human resources around the world.
Employee engagement amplifies our positive community impact, often via company-initiated events that connect our people with local nonprofits and volunteer opportunities. Employees volunteer for a variety of causes and can increase their personal charitable donations through our Matching Gift and Volunteer Time Grant programs.
We advocate for U.S. and global policies and issues that align with our values, business interests, employees, and customers.
Philanthropic Areas of Focus
EDUCATION
We prioritize programs that address local challenges, support educator professional development and prepare students for every stage of the education Journey.
ARTS & CULTURE
Applied and the Foundation have a long and proud tradition supporting arts near our company facilities and encouraging employees and their families to get involved.
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Applied and the Foundation provide support to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and nonprofits to address community challenges and help people find stability in difficult times.
ENVIRONMENT
Our commitment to protect our natural resources and create a more sustainable future extends beyond our net zero aspirations for our company and industry.
Fight Against Hunger
For more than three decades, Applied’s annual Fight Against Hunger campaign has mobilized employees to combat hunger in local communities. In fiscal 2024, employee donations and a match from the Applied Materials Foundation totaled over $3.3 million, supporting 58 food banks throughout North America. Globally, Applied employees address food insecurity in ways that are most relevant to their local communities.
EarthWorks
Each year, from Earth Day to World Environment Day (April to June), employees from around the world mobilize to protect our planet and enjoy nature during the annual EarthWorks campaign. The 2024 campaign engaged more than 2,500 employees worldwide. To incentivize participation and further extend lasting environmental impact, the Applied Materials Foundation donated funds to One Tree Planted to plan a tree in recognition of each participant.
Generation Girl®
Through Generation Girl, an initiative of the Applied Materials Foundation, we work with U.S. nonprofit organizations to strengthen self-efficacy and confidence and help build awareness and interest in STEM. Since 2018, over 56,000 students across the United States have participated in Generation Girl-funded programs, 81% of which report an increased feeling of self-confidence and 84% expressed growth in STEM competency.
Applied Materials Momentum Fund™
The Applied Materials Momentum Fund, a collaboration with the Last Mile Education Fund, provides financial support to eligible women nearing the completion of their bachelor’s or master's degree in engineering.
Gender Equality
Applied Materials is committed to addressing gender disparities in STEM fields by supporting programs that boost girls' confidence and technical skills. Through partnerships with organizations like’ Shavot’ and ‘Cracking the Glass Ceiling’, we work with local schools to inspire young female students. Our collaboration with QueenB brings coding programs directly to high school students, including weekly on-site activities at the Applied campus. By providing mentorship, visibility, and practical skills, we aim to counteract early confidence drops and encourage young women to pursue technological careers with self-assurance.
Supporting Recovery and Healing in Israel's South
In response to the challenges faced by communities in southern Israel since October 7th, Applied Materials forged partnerships with organizations providing critical support and rehabilitation. Amongst these is ‘Hamaniot’ who are assisting orphans from the Southern region,” HaGal Sheli” who provide therapeutic surfing programs for impacted youth, ‘Rimon Farms’ who are creating long term dedicated spaces for therapy, healing and resilience building, ‘Photo Israel’ who run phototherapy workshops for senior citizens, ‘Adama Tova’ dedicated programs for members of the “Nova community” aimed at helping them heal and restart their lives.
We recently opened a special community café on our Rehovot campus which is part of a new social enterprise chain called ‘Cafe Otef’. The café is managed by residents of Sderot and raw products are sourced from the south and included in the menu. In addition, the café serves as a platform for small local businesses that were negatively impacted to sell their goods. All profits from the café will be directed to a dedicated community project in Sderot.
