Citizen Philanthropy is about empowering everyone to be active, engaged citizens in their communities. The VMware Foundation does this by providing a platform for VMware people to contribute time, talent, and financial resources to their nonprofit of choice. In 2021, more than 30,000 VMware people supported more than 14,000 nonprofits in 102 countries. Citizen Philanthropy contributes to the Equity outcomes of VMware’s ESG strategy, our 2030 Agenda.
