Since 1992, Synopsys has a rich history of providing grants to local communities where we live and work. In fiscal year 2004, we donated $1.2M to science and math programs at eight Synopsys locations. Since Synopsys has a worldwide presence, our global citizenship strategy has evolved to incorporate regional needs.

To meet our annual donation goal of engaging more than 100,000 K-12 grade students in math and science education, we will no longer accept unsolicited grants. Through this approach, employees will develop partnerships with a targeted number of science and math programs so we can better develop the next generation of technology leaders around the world.
