The idea of community goes far beyond the cities and neighborhoods where Avnet operates. We think of a community as any group of people who share a desire to make a positive difference, wherever and whenever they can. Through Avnet Cares, our company’s philanthropic and volunteer program, our employees go beyond achieving business and financial goals. They make a positive impact around the world.
We are particularly focused on the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); diversity; the environment; and supporting communities in crisis.
Charitable giving in the Americas
Avnet’s community grant program offers small grants to eligible nonprofit organizations in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico that are working to make an impact in the communities where we live and work. Nonprofits can submit a grant via our online grant application at any time, however our donation review committee will review and announce recipients on a quarterly basis. It may be several months before you hear back on the status of your grant. If you have any questions, please reach out to Avnet.Cares@Avnet.com.
