The heart of IEEE charitable giving

For more than 50 years, the IEEE Foundation has worked side by side with generous donors and IEEE program partners to unleash exciting, thoughtful and impactful programming that advances technology for the benefit of humanity. Their impact has been shaped by time, talent, and treasure. This year, we are celebrating donor-supported programs that directly benefit students and young professionals. Join us in Igniting the Future on 16 February 2025: IEEE Foundation Day.
