Philanthropy

In 2010, the entire GE family — including businesses, employees, retirees and GE Foundation — contributed more than $250 million to community and educational programs, including $115 million from GE Foundation.

As the philanthropic organization of GE, GE Foundation works to solve some of the world’s most difficult problems. In coordination with its partners, GE Foundation supports U.S. and international education, developing health globally, the environment, public policy, human rights, disaster relief and community success around the globe. GE Foundation also supports GE employee and retiree giving and involvement in GE communities through employee programs such as the GE Foundation Matching Gifts Program.
