The management of Xerox continues to be committed to a policy of community investments. This policy seeks to position the corporation as an active participant in society. Xerox will continue to assist a variety of social, civic and cultural organizations that provide broad-based programs and services in cities where its employees work and live. Grants are also provided to colleges and universities to prepare qualified men and women for careers in business, science, government, and general education, to further advance knowledge in science and technology, and to enhance learning opportunities for minorities and the disadvantaged. Xerox also invests contribution dollars in a number of organizations that contribute to the debate on major national public policy issues. Worldwide, Xerox philanthropy tries to engage national leadership in addressing major social problems and to support programs in education, employability and cultural affairs. Other areas of particular focus include programs responsive to the national concern for the environment and the application of information technology.
