Part of the Community

With more than 150 years of serving San Jose and the surrounding communities, we have an interest in supporting and promoting the health and vitality of this area. We demonstrate this commitment through a combination of donated time, treasure and talent. Our long-term success is dependent on maintaining the health of our community, and supporting a rich network of organizations that are part of our vision for an even better tomorrow.

Every year, we proudly donate approximately $250,000 to multiple local non-profits.

Education and Youth

We recognize that the educational environment of today shapes the workforce of tomorrow. This is why we support programs to prepare and support students throughout their time in school. A key part of our focus is to promote science and technology-based learning programs (STEM) that inspire youth towards success in the fields of engineering, technology and business. 

Our Corporate Social Responsibility program supports a number of youth organizations and institutions that encourage community education in these fields. These include the Schmahl Science Workshop, the San Jose Day Nursery and Reading Partners Silicon Valley.
