Philanthropy
Qualcomm Incorporated and the Qualcomm Foundation are not only committed to being good citizens, but also to being good neighbors in the communities we call home. We contribute as a charitable foundation and as a corporation, and we participate in ways that touch people's lives on a personal level.
Mission
The philanthropic endeavors of Qualcomm Foundation and Qualcomm Incorporated develop and strengthen communities worldwide. We invest our human and financial resources in inspirational, innovative programs that serve diverse populations.
Specifically, we aim to create educated, healthy, sustainable, culturally vibrant communities. We also support employees’ commitment to our global communities through various programs such as our volunteerism and Matching Grant and Community Service Grant programs.
We focus our philanthropy primarily in geographic regions where we have a business presence.
