Community Well-being
In addition to supporting the work of its partners and customers, NI employees are independently helping their communities fight COVID-19.

In its hometown of Austin, NI made a $1 million matching grant to the All Together ATX Fund, created by the Austin Community Foundation and United Way for Greater Austin to provide flexible resources to nonprofit organizations working with communities that are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and the economic consequences of the outbreak. An additional $1.5 million is available for nonprofit organizations that serve the other communities where NI has major global operations.
