World-Class Community Engagement
National Instruments and its employees are committed to serving the communities in which they work and live by applying NI tools, services, and expertise to significant causes. Because NI is a technology leader, the cornerstone of its community engagement program is improving engineering and science education by making technology more accessible, inspirational, and fun for young people. NI also maintains a culture of giving around the world by supporting employees as they make charitable contributions of time and resources to their personal passion areas.
Corporate philanthropy is a critical component of NI’s community engagement and is typically part of a broad, multifaceted community partnership. NI has an employee-based funding advisory council that helps maintain transparency in philanthropic efforts and ensure the company donates at least 1 percent of NI pretax profits to worthy causes in ways that guarantee maximum impact. Refer to the NI corporate giving guidelines for information about the grant request process.

Rob Porterfield
NI Vice President of Manufacturing
“Connecting to different issues with a multifaceted approach is the quickest way to see positive growth in our community. In manufacturing, giving back to our local community means monthly in-kind donation drives, quarterly paid volunteer time off, and supporting charities with financial gifts. I'm a big proponent of our employees giving back in ways that are most comfortable for them.”
It's not what we make, it's what we make possible.
NI is a global leader in providing test, measurement, and embedded systems for engineers and scientists.
