Giving Back: HP’s Philanthropy

Even as Hewlett-Packard continued to grow, the company and its founders made giving back to the community a priority. These efforts started small but increased in size and scope as the company expanded and matured. With charity being valued across Hewlett-Packard, organizations such as the Family Giving Tree and the United Way benefited as employees and leadership sought ways to donate goods and services. A record of these efforts shows how these campaigns date back to Hewlett-Packard’s early days and became a continual thread throughout its history.
