Bringing the exhilaration of scientific discovery to students, fostering technological innovation, preserving history, promoting public awareness of the long-reaching effects of engineering - these are some of the important functions of the IEEE that are supported by the work of the IEEE Foundation - the philanthropic arm of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.).

The IEEE Foundation cultivates resources and relationship to advance IEEE's core purpose to foster technological innovation and excellence to benefit humanity. The IEEE Foundation fulfills its purpose:

• By awarding grants to new and innovative projects that seek to improve the worldwide technological literacy of society from childhood through adulthood, and
• By serving as the fund administrator for educational, historical preservation, and peer recognition programs of IEEE units.

With contributions from generous sponsors around the world, the IEEE Foundation seeks to increase the understanding of how technologies are created and how they impact society, individuals, and the environment. Interdisciplinary in its activities, and transnational in scope, the IEEE Foundation has the potential to improve people's lives in every country.
