Applied Biosystems' Corporate Giving Philosophy

Applied Biosystems' corporate giving philosophy is to improve the human condition by supporting science, education, health-care and community outreach.

Giving Back to Communities

We believe it is important to give back to the communities in which our employees live and work. We support our communities with financial contributions, with in-kind and product donations, and by encouraging our employees to volunteer.

Contribution Areas

• Education
  As a company that relies on technological innovation, we believe education is the key to remaining competitive in the 21st century.
  
  For this reason, supporting education is central to our contribution program. We donate equipment and provide financial grants to pre-college, college, graduate, and other unique programs that use technology to improve science, math, and engineering education.
  
  
• Health and Human Services
  Developing innovative solutions to chronic health problems and improving access to quality health care are not only vital to our business -- they are also vital to our employees and their communities.
  
  For this reason, we support organizations and programs that improve quality of life through disease and therapeutic research.
  
  
• Community Outreach Programs
  Communities cannot solve their problems without proper resources and support.
  
  For this reason, wherever we do business, we support outreach programs and civic groups that improve communities with innovative science, technology, and education programs. We also provide cash donations to Chamber of Commerce and other community organizations.
  
  
• Environment
  Maintaining a healthy environment is of critical importance to Applied Biosystems--reflected both in our business philosophy and philanthropic activities.



• Arts & Culture
  At Applied Biosystems, we understand that the arts not only stimulate creativity and innovation, but also contribute to improving the quality of life.



• Civic
  We believe that it is important for communities to have the resources to help address their challenges.
