Investing in community ecosystems
Investing in underrepresented and historically marginalized groups is vital to drive social impact and economic empowerment. We prioritize organizations that focus on increasing opportunities for these groups, like Udayan Care, UNICEF, Junior Achievement Europe, UN Women and United Way of Greater Atlanta.
We also work with nonprofits like the Home Partnership Foundation to help address homelessness and the YMCA to provide more access to STEM education and childcare. These and other examples are in our 2023 Micron Gives year-end summary.
