Education is another pillar of corporate citizenship and as a technology company, Lockheed Martin is vitally interested
in the quantity and quality of our nation’s technology graduates. Lockheed Martin supports a variety of educational
programs and initiatives, such as grants to colleges and universities that have nationally recognized science, engineering
and computer science programs. In addition, Lockheed Martin initiatives are devoted to strengthening math, science and
engineering education from kindergarten through grade 12.
Related to these initiatives is the volunteerism of our employees who serve as mentors and tutors to children across the
country. Employee volunteers also contribute to the health of the communities where they live through food and blood
drives to aid those in need, as well as fundraising efforts to combat disease.
Philanthropy is a vital element of Lockheed Martin’s corporate citizenship, recognizing the aesthetic and cultural value
that the arts play in a free society. Ours is a company that deals in the currency of ideas, and the arts build the strength
of that currency. And wherever possible we link our support for the arts directly to education, such as school visits by
music and dramatic arts organizations or student visits to concerts.
Freedom, education, values, citizenship, diversity and devotion are not hollow words. They are ideals which men and
women have defended with their own lives. They are the ideals that have steered the course of this nation and free
people worldwide, and they serve to inspire and motivate the people of Lockheed Martin.
