Our world continues to evolve. We navigate twists and turns, from the lingering impact of COVID-19 to war, economic turmoil, and climate change. We have all had to adjust, and many of us have been compelled to lend a hand. Medtronic and the Medtronic Foundation are committed to creating better outcomes for our world, especially for those who’ve been marginalized. Employees embrace the opportunity to create solutions that make an impact and are sustainable.

What’s next: we’re on a journey to shape our future impact

For almost half a century, Medtronic Foundation has been a force for good, dedicated to improving lives and uplifting our local communities. The Medtronic Mission calls us to do more – and we’re on a journey to do just that.

This year, we are working closely with employees across the globe to define the next chapter of our legacy and advance their passions and purpose to set a 10-year community impact goal.

Personal community engagement

Within our organization, there are as many causes to champion as there are employees. The Medtronic Foundation supports them through community engagement programs such as:
 

  • Matched Giving: The Medtronic Foundation matches Medtronic employee and retiree donations to any eligible nonprofit, up to $5,000 annually.

  • Volunteer Grants: To support and encourage employees to volunteer in their communities for causes they are passionate about, employees earn $200 grants redeemable to an eligible nonprofit organization of their choice for every 10 volunteer hours they record. (Employees can earn up to $1,000 per calendar year.)

  • Project 6: A companywide kickoff of programming, volunteering resources, and events each June starts 365 days of giving back to causes that mean the most to Medtronic employees.

Lasting change

As a Mission-led company, we know that developing extraordinary healthcare technology isn't enough. Through skills-based volunteering and community engagement beyond our day jobs, we can improve lives and opportunities for people across our global communities. That is why we support and empower the extraordinary volunteering efforts of our employees. We're not just helping individuals, NGOs, and communities through a moment in time; we're helping them secure better futures.
