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
Employee Engagement
Teradata encourages employees to donate their time and expertise to improve communities across the world through Teradata Cares. Many Teradata employees also volunteer as members of boards of directors of nonprofits, in supporting shelters, neighborhood cleanups, mentoring youth and lending their considerable experience to a wide variety of community organizations.
Dollars for Doers — Volunteer Service Grants
Teradata provides financial grants to support and recognize employees who volunteer with nonprofit organizations through the Dollars for Doers program. Teradata employees may apply for a volunteer grant of $250 to a nonprofit organization if they have been actively involved with the organization for at least one year and have performed at least 50 hours of verified volunteer service during the previous calendar year. Dollars for Doers Volunteer Service Grants are not limited to STEM-related organizations or for STEM-related activities.
Community Service Grants
Teradata Cares encourages the volunteer spirit by providing funds for volunteer projects performed by teams of five or more employees. These Community Service Grants are available for projects that are located in the county/state where our employees live.
