As the largest private industry employer in Folsom, Intel has a major impact on the surrounding community. We have nearly 6,000 technicians, engineers, and marketing, sales, and support staff at our research and design campus. Together, we are producing the next generation of chips and chipsets. Intel Folsom employees bring processors to new levels of speed and convenience, while extending Intel® architecture to a higher measurement of performance.
Community Involvement

Intel strives to improve the quality of life in our communities by actively supporting local projects and nonprofit organizations. Through the Intel® Involved program, Folsom employees volunteered over 187,000 hours in 2009, which generated USD 1.5 million. Here are a few of the programs they participate in:

• Kid to Work Day—Roughly, 250 Intel employees volunteer to lead 18 interactive workshops that feature activities to inspire the next generation of innovators by introducing a hands on discovery approach to math, science, and technology.
• PC Pals—750 employees mentored an equal number of local students and encouraged them to get the most out of their education.
• Habitat for Humanity—Since 1997, Intel Folsom employees have been building homes for low-income families in Sacramento.
• Rebuilding Together—50 Intel employees (and 20 of their friends) rehabilitated an entire home for a disabled local resident.
• In addition to volunteerism, Intel is the only member of the United Way California Capital Region’s Million Dollar Club. Our Folsom and Sacramento employees generously donated USD 1.18 million towards 265 organizations in 2009 and the Intel Foundation matched employee contributions to the United Way’s Community Impact Fund.
• Collectively, the Sacramento Region received over USD 3.8 million a year in Employee Giving and Intel Involved Matching Grants.
