Community Relations
Charitable Grant Awards

The WD Foundation, funded by Western Digital Corporation, provides funding to nonprofit organizations on a regional basis.  The list includes charitable giving throughout California in Orange, Santa Clara and Alameda Counties and in Colorado in Boulder County.  These grants are allocated by volunteer employee committees at each site on a twice-yearly basis and are selected from nonprofit applications.

In addition, the Foundation would like to acknowledge all of those employees and their family members and friends who have given the “gift of time” by volunteering for Team WD programs.  Thank you!
