SOCIAL INVESTMENTS
Lenovo’s Next Generation Hope Fund is helping redefine
how Lenovo and our employees support the communities
where we live and do business. We enable doers to
do more through social investment programs targeting
education, entrepreneurship, disaster relief and regional
community outreach. Lenovo provides assistance
through financial contributions, equipment donations,
and employee volunteer hours. As a company, Lenovo
annually commits up to 1% of pre-tax income to global
social investment programs. To measure success, we
evaluate the effectiveness of each investment against
predefined goals upon program completion.
Lenovo aims to advance, enhance and extend education
at all levels. We support education-related programs
and initiatives through our industry-leading products
and technologies, community investments and program
sponsorships. We do not limit the scope of our education
related social investments, but rather we consider each
opportunity based on its own merits. Lenovo donates
equipment, provides financial contributions and lends
expertise to schools and related organizations across
all global markets. Lenovo supports global education
investments in both K-12 and higher education.
Lenovo North America employees volunteered more than 7,500 hours
in local communities, focusing on K-12 disadvantaged youth and STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education.
Lenovo North America invests in causes that support
K-12 disadvantaged youth with a focus on Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education.
With the goal of empowering young people with
technology and building future leaders, Lenovo donated
technology and strengthened partnerships with various
nonprofit organizations, including Boys & Girls Clubs,
YMCA, Kenan Fellows Program for Curriculum and
Leadership Development and Kramden Institute, a
nonprofit that refurbishes used PCs for students without
computer access in their homes.
In 2013, Lenovo partnered with the Mark Wahlberg
Youth Foundation in the United States and donated 250
IdeaPad Yoga tablets, with a value of approximately
US$50,000. The Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation
is dedicated to helping inner city youth reach their
full potential in life. The Foundation aspires to reach
those children whose dreams and passions are limited
due to financial circumstances and provide them with
opportunities that allow them to see the value in their
education and planning for their future.
