REALIZE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF IEEE

IEEE Foundation
With roots dating back to 1884, IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated
to advancing technology for the benefit of humankind. The size of IEEE, scale and access to decisionmakers in government, academia and industry enables it to play a unique and important role in driving
innovation, work-force development and global problem solving through the application of engineering.
Thanks to donor support, the IEEE Foundation
strives to be a leader in transforming lives
through the power of technology and education.
The IEEE Foundation, established in 1973, is the
philanthropic partner of IEEE. Our work inspires
the generosity of donors to enable IEEE programs
that improve access to technology, enhance
technological literacy, and support technical
education and the IEEE professional community.
