Philanthropy, born of shared vision and generosity, is a powerful form of energy – one that sparks imagination and transformative change.
You are the Catalyst Behind Our Power
Bringing technology to the world to transform lives is our shared vision. To accomplish this, it takes leadership from our most dedicated partners – IEEE members and institutions in the fields of technology. We thank our donors who continue to champion our mission to support and enrich the profession, education, and history of technology.
