The following is an excerpt from Cisco’s FY25 Purpose Report. Explore the full report to learn more about how we Power an Inclusive Future for All.
Through the Cisco Foundation and our corporate Social Impact Investments (SII), we support organizations that use technology in bold, innovative ways — from saving energy to saving lives. By combining catalytic, early-stage seed funding, strategic guidance, and technology donations, we help incubate, validate, and scale solutions that make both a local and global impact.
At Cisco, we know technology drives transformation.
That’s why, alongside cash grants and advisory support, we donate Cisco technology to our Cisco Foundation and Social Impact Investments partners. This helps them connect more securely, deliver critical services, make data-informed decisions, and operate more efficiently.
The result? Greater impact on more people and communities around the world.
