Philanthropy

At Western Digital, we care! We prioritize giving back and responding to the needs of our communities, and we believe that more can be achieved when we do it together! Our philanthropic programs aim to make a significant impact by focusing our efforts. Emphasis is placed on STEM Education for underrepresented and underserved youth; hunger relief; and environmental issues. In the U.S., we also support programs that serve military families and veterans.

Global Giving Guidelines

Western Digital believes in our responsibility to be a good neighbor in the communities in which we operate, and a steward of our world’s resources. The quality of life and education, the well-being of our employees and their families, and the economic health of our society are of vital interest to Western Digital. As a corporation, we support organizations that improve education, support hunger relief, as well as programs protecting the environment and our communities according to the following giving guidelines:

I. Criteria
WDC requires that non-profit organizations and schools seeking support meet specific criteria to be considered:

Be a tax-exempt non-profit organization or public school in good standing with the IRS or global equivalent
Show program capability, sound fiscal policies, responsible management, and evidence of long-range planning and effective use of volunteers
Have a competent, active board of directors or similar governing body providing sound policies and guidance to the organization and its members
Produce a budget, financial statements and a plan for funding beyond the period covered by the proposed contribution
Show a method of evaluating the results of the proposed project

In addition, we require:

The charity is not being recommended by a foreign official
The charity is not owned/operated by a foreign official or close relative
There are no deals that are contingent (either in fact or in appearance) upon the granting of the charitable aid
Normal due diligence has been conducted to verify that the charity is legitimate and reputable, and financially stable
The charity’s mission is consistent with the philanthropic priorities of the Western Digital Corporation (Education, Hunger Relief, Environmental Issues)

Western Digital reserves the right to make funding and contribution decisions within its sole and absolute discretion and may alter these criteria without notice at any time.

II. Limitations and Exclusions
Western Digital’s charitable contributions are not automatically renewing in nature. If an organization receiving current or previous support from Western Digital desires additional funding, it must submit a new grant request. Such requests will be evaluated in relation to other submitted requests and budgetary considerations at the time of the new request, and may not be approved.

We will not provide grants or other charitable contributions under circumstances that are not permitted by or are in conflict with the policies of the Western Digital Corporation, applicable law, or budgetary considerations, which include but are not limited to requests made by the following:

Individuals
Customers or other business partners/providers
Organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or national origins
Grant-making foundations
Political organizations
Organizations whose primary function is the proselytization of specific religious beliefs
Private educational institutions
Organizations failing to meet Western Digital’s corporate standards for ethical operation and social value

III. Anti-Bribery and Corruption
As discussed more fully in Western Digital’s Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy (the “Policy”), which is available by request, Western Digital is committed to winning business through honest competition in the global marketplace. We adopt a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption wherever we operate and enforce effective systems to prevent it.

Accordingly, Western Digital and its officers, employees, agents, contractors and all others who perform services on its behalf are prohibited from promising, authorizing, giving or offering money, a financial or other advantage, or anything of value directly or indirectly to (a) a Public Official (as that term is defined under the Policy) with the intention of influencing that official and with the intention of obtaining or retaining business or any business advantage, or (b) a private person with the intention of inducing that person to perform his or her functions improperly where those functions are expected to be performed in good faith, impartially, or in circumstances where the person is in a position of trust. No cash, cash equivalents, or anything of value can be provided to a Public Official on behalf of Western Digital. Any contribution or support involving a Public Official, government agency or government institution requires the approval of the Western Digital Legal Department.

Community Grants Program

US Community Grants
Western Digital awards grants to nonprofit organizations and public schools offering programs or services in alignment with our key areas of support:

STEM Education:
Particularly programs targeted at underrepresented and/or underserved youth
Hunger Relief:
Programs with a predominant focus on alleviating hunger locally
Environmental Preservation:
Programs aimed at environmental protection or preservation, and the public education of such issues
Veterans and Military Families:
Projects and programs that provide services to veterans and/or military families

In order to best honor our commitment to the communities we serve during the COVID-19 crisis, Western Digital has temporarily revised our grant program to an invite only basis. Nonprofit organizations and public schools offering programs aligned with our focus areas will receive an invitation from Western Digital to apply for funding through a competitive application process a week before the grant application opens. Prior to applying, all requestors are urged to review our Global Giving Guidelines for complete details on our giving policies.

During this temporary change, we will remain focused on the geographical areas we serve:

Greater Bay Area, CA (Alameda, Santa Clara, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties)
Orange County, CA
Boulder County, CO
El Paso County, CO
Olmsted County, MN

Proposals are reviewed by Western Digital Corporation employee committees twice a year at each site for recommendations of approval or denial. Funding recommendations are then passed on for final approval through Western Digital Corporate Advised Fund.

Two application periods are offered each year with deadlines on January 15th and July 15th. Organizations seeking funding may apply once in any 12 month period. Community grant awards are limited to one per organization, per year. Organizations receiving three consecutive years of funding will be required to cycle out for one year before applying for additional funding. Our Community Grant awards typically range between $7,500 - $20,000.

Our US Community Grant application is temporarily available on an invite only basis according to the following schedule:
June 15th – July 15th, 5pm PDT
December 15th- January 15th, 5pm PST

For nonprofits that have been invited to submit a proposal, the application form can be accessed at: Western Digital Community Grants Application.
