NCR FOUNDATION
powering what's possible
Potential is distributed equally.
Opportunity is not.
That’s why the NCR Foundation is relentlessly focused on advancing STEAM education, bringing opportunities to students in underserved communities and serving our communities in times of disaster: to create and widen more opportunities for more students since our foundation got started in 1953.
We partner, invest and volunteer to make our communities and our world a better place.

Community quarterbacks. Technology rock stars. Crisis coordinators.
We partner to help non-profits reach more to do more. Today, that means advancing technology, STEAM education, disaster relief and volunteering all around the world.
Because how we give is just as important as how we innovate
NCR Foundation Focus: Junior Achievement 3DE
NCR Foundation is a state-wide sponsor of Junior Achievement's innovative 3DE School program that re-engineers high school education to be more relevant, experiential, and authentically-connected to the complexities of the real world in order to more fully prepare today’s students for the demands of tomorrow’s economy. In 2020-21 they will launch four additional schools in Georgia (raising the total sites to 10 across the state), with the addition of a site in Atlanta Public Schools, and the launch of two sites in DeKalb County School District and one in Savannah-Chatham County Public School System.
NCR Foundation Focus: UNICEF
We help parents and children in Brazil and Serbia build a better future through STEAM education initiatives, such as free programming workshops that help children learn to develop algorithmic thinking and programming using simple code.

Keeping kids learning remotely during COVID-19
When COVID-19 happened and schools closed, not all students had access to the technology they needed to learn remotely. Already partnering with Inspiredu to donate 2,000 PCs for students over the past 5 years, we helped Inspiredu upgrade their VOIP network in partnership with other technology companies so Inspiredu can meet the demand for technology—today and tomorrow.
NCR Foundation grant strategy
We use a partnership grant strategy through investments with nonprofit partners.
Our overall grant allocations are a combination of short-term small grants and deeper investments through impact grants. See grant limitations here.
Potential is distributed equally. Opportunity is not.
