>an exemplary organization,
comprised of extraordinary people
celebrating 20 years of
commitment
In June 2005, QUALCOMM honored
its employees with an anniversary
celebration marking two decades of
technology innovation, growth and
community involvement.
Community Involvement
QUALCOMM’s corporate volunteerism
program, QUALCOMM Cares, was
developed to encourage employee
involvement in the community and to
connect our diverse employee base to
local volunteer opportunities. From
walk-a-thons to holiday drives, our
employees are helping people with
disabilities, improving the environment,
feeding and clothing the homeless, and
caring for animals.
Philanthropy
Throughout its 20-year history, the
Company has been committed to
supporting the communities in which
its employees work and live. Through
these efforts, QUALCOMM has consis-
tently been recognized as a good
corporate citizen for its philanthropy
around the world.
In addition to supporting an employee
volunteerism program, every year
QUALCOMM donates to community
causes, with a focus on programs that
promote education, health and human
services, culture and the arts.
As part of QUALCOMM’s anniversary
event in June, the Company announced
a donation of more than $1 million to
four San Diego area not-for-profi t
organizations, including the San Diego
Children’s Museum, Elementary Insti-
tute of Science, Monarch School and
Voices for Children.
Disaster Relief
2005 was marked by tragic natural
disasters: a tsunami, a series of
hurricanes and a major earthquake.
QUALCOMM responded to these criti-
cal needs with technology resources
and expertise, and millions of dollars
in cash contributions. The Company’s
corporate efforts to support disaster
relief are supplemented by an active
and ongoing employee Matching
Grant Program.
A Commitment to Global Inclusion
At QUALCOMM, we recognize that
business success is driven by creativity
and diversity. By valuing our differences
and appreciating our similarities, we
encourage the exchange of unique ideas
and perspectives and build upon our
individual, team and business strengths.
Our diversity creates an energy that
carries our global teams forward
in developing new and superior prod-
ucts worldwide. At the heart of the
Company’s global diversity and inclu-
sion is QUALCOMM’s commitment to
provide all employees, regardless of
their backgrounds and perspectives on
the world, the opportunity to achieve
their personal and professional goals.
