CISCO FOUNDATION


SOCIAL INNOVATORS MULTIPLY OUR IMPACT

The Cisco Foundation was established in 1997 by a gift from Cisco. Cisco and the
Cisco Foundation partner with nonprofits, non-governmental organizations (NGOs),
and community-based organizations to carry out many of our Corporate Social
Responsibility programs.


VISION AND MISSION

The Cisco Foundation collaborates with nonprofit and non-governmental
organizations around the world to develop technology-based solutions in our
investment areas. We focus this work on underserved communities and look for
solutions that harness the power of the Internet and communications technology.

 * Investment areas: We focus our support where we can make the biggest
   impact—crisis response, education, and economic empowerment.
 * Support for nonprofits: We make strategic grants to programs with
   long-lasting impact on a local, national, and global scale.
 * Engaged employees: We empower employees to give more by matching their
   donations and making cash donations when they volunteer.


STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL INVESTMENT

A distinct legal entity, the Cisco Foundation makes cash grants by invitation to
nonprofit and non-governmental organizations according to criteria and
guidelines aligned with Cisco Foundation's strategic priorities.

 * Global Impact Cash Grants: Designed to multiply the impact of eligible
   organizations around the globe with national or multinational operations.
 * Bay Area Community Impact Grants: Support Bay Area programs within a 50-mile
   radius of our San Jose, California, headquarters.


INNOVATION AND CHANGE

At Cisco, we truly partner with our grantees. We work with you to build capacity
around measuring outcomes. Measuring the impact of a program or partner is
essential to sustaining and improving programs. We have helped small nonprofits
become global providers of innovative social services, and we provide our
expertise to help them manage the investment.
