Giving Back for a Brighter Future
We believe that developing student interest in technology 
subjects will lead to not only a stronger future workforce but a better world as well. That's why Teradata Cares provides grants for initiatives consistent with our company focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). In addition, Teradata Cares creates opportunities for employees to engage with their local communities in three key areas:
- Improving education to help tomorrow's technologists and business leaders understand the possibilities that technology provides
- Strengthening neighborhoods and communities
- Helping the environment and supporting corporate sustainability
Strategic Giving
Interest among youth today in science and technology is diminishing. Teradata Cares is dedicated to countering this trend by nurturing and developing young people’s interest and education in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). In addition to preparing today’s youth for life in the modern world, this approach also develops our industry’s future technologists and business leaders. With our partnerships with FIRST, For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology, Teradata supports students in middle school and high school in STEM programs. In addition, Teradata provides annual scholarships to graduating seniors on the robotics teams it sponsors.

Employee Engagement
It’s important that an employee engagement support program makes sure
tools and programs are available to empower employees to make a difference by donating their time and expertise. Teradata Cares provides a concrete commitment to backing our employees’ desire to good work. Teradata provides employees four days a year during normal working hours to volunteer in their local communities.
Established Teradata Cares programs include Dollars for Doers, which matches volunteer hours with grants to local organizations, Community Service Grants designed for group volunteer projects and the Teradata Day of Caring, an annual global volunteer day. Many Teradata employees also volunteer as members of boards of directors of nonprofits, supporting shelters, mentoring youth and lending their considerable experience to a wide variety of community organizations.
National Merit Teradata Scholarships
Every year Teradata provides scholarships to children of Teradata employees who are selected as National Merit Scholarship winners.
