At Microsoft,
we share a passion for technology and what
it can do for people. It doesn't matter who
you are or where you live, technology can
make a positive difference in your life. It
can help you learn faster, achieve more, simplify
your life and have more fun. Technology has
helped children and adults acquire a passion
for learning, given businesses of all sizes
the tools they need to compete in an ever-changing
marketplace, and provided people with disabilities
the access to a new world of job and life
opportunities. And we believe the best is
yet to come.
We help
build our communities to unlock their potential
Amazing things
can happen when the right people, tools and
resources come together. At Microsoft, our
employees and our technology help unlock this
kind of potential every day, through our corporate
giving program and through donations of personal
time and resources by our employees. Since
1983, Microsoft and our employees around the
world have donated more than $100 million
in cash, $100 million in software and thousands
of volunteer hours in our communities around
the world. Across our Asia, each Microsoft
subsidiary has its own local initiatives for
social giving and community outreach. Our
employees are passionately involved in many
charitable initiatives across Asia that help
people realize their potential. To learn more
