Sustainability Report 2021 21 In 2021, Applied Materials and the Foundation awarded $13,726,640 in direct corporate contributions and Foundation grants, benefiting 330 recipients in 10 countries. The total represents a decrease from 2020 as the Foundation’s COVID-19 response downshifted to recovery efforts. At the same time, we enabled our employees to achieve greater impact on community issues through the Foundation’s matching grant program, which doubles individual employee giving up to $3,000 annually— aligning our support behind the causes our people care about. During large, culturally significant celebrations such as Black History Month and Pride Month, our employee communications highlight local and national charities working for social justice and equity, suggesting ways to make a positive impact. We believe our role as leaders is to make the world a better place, and we are committed to taking meaningful action. “I have been both a recipient and supporter of food programs... I am proud to be part of a company that gives back to our communities in such a meaningful way. I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunities I have here at Applied, the position our company is in, and the ability to continue to help others.” Ann Enterprise Enablement Group Community Impact con t.
