| The Harris Foundation plays a primary role in Harris Corporation's philanthropic activities in our commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen. While each of our offices and facilities worldwide supports local efforts in their individual communities, the Harris Foundation provides funding from a corporate perspective. Quality education is Harris Corporation's primary philanthropic platform. In non-educational fields, the Foundation gives priority to requests from local community organizations that serve the health, welfare, civic and cultural needs of Harris employees and families. Support from the Harris Foundation is provided to organizations through employee gift matching programs and direct contributions. Employee Gift Matching Programs
The Harris Foundation offers two gift matching programs to Harris employees to support their contributions to qualified educational institutions and approved community organizations. These programs allow employees to multiply their contributions, providing organizations with additional funding. More about our Employee Gift Matching Programs >> Direct Contributions
The Harris Foundation does not advertise or solicit requests for giving. Employees are encouraged to advise Harris Corporate Relations or their management of charities in which they are involved or knowledgeable. To apply for funding, an organization whose purpose is consistent with the objectives of the Foundation must submit a written proposal. Proposals are then reviewed and decided upon by the Foundation's Board of Trustees. back to top | | | |
