Our Mission: Encouraging ADC people to contribute time, talent and financial resources to the community.

Employee Volunteers | United Way
While the ADC Foundation has a strong focus on education and closing
the digital divide, ADC recognizes that its employees care deeply about many
causes that are not included in these strategies. To encourage employees to
contribute time, talent and resources to the community, ADC has developed two
important ADC Cares Programs along with its efforts to promote volunteerism
that offer assistance worldwide. Also, in North America, United Ways and other
federated funds are generously supported.
The Dollars for Doers program honors the significant volunteer
service of any regular U.S. ADC employee. An ADC employee who has provided at
least 40 hours or more of volunteer service over the prior twelve-month period
to a qualified, non-sectarian charity may apply for a grant of $500 for his
or her organization. All such charities are eligible to receive these awards.
Since the program recognizes the importance of the gift of time, it does not
require that the volunteer contribute financially to be eligible for recognition
in this manner. This program is not open to employees outside the United States.

The Matching Gift Program is designed to match any regular U.S. ADC employee's
charitable gift (in any given fiscal year) of $25 or more. The Foundation will
match a total of $1,000 per employee per year. These gifts must be made to qualified,
nonsectarian charities or charitable programs of public institutions. This program
is not open to employees outside the United States.

At ADC everyone is guided by the ADC Way-five values, which are
the hallmark of ADC culture. One of these values-integrity-is well exemplified
by the time and commitment ADC people make to the community through volunteering.
At local ADC business sites, ADC Cares Committees and individual
employees think about what needs to be done in their community and then go about
rolling up their sleeves, enlisting others, and doing it.
ADC employees can be found painting and repairing houses, running
food drives for the needy, holding gift drives at holiday season for poor children
and their families, mentoring young students, teaching classes, sitting on nonprofit
boards, etc. Employees volunteer their skills and talents in a myriad of ways
that ADC helps facilitate through organizing such activities and through its
Dollars for Doers and Matching Gifts programs.

Vision: Wherever ADC does business around the world it is seen as a leader in
good corporate citizenship.
Through fall fund drives for United Way, ADC provides the opportunity
for ADC employees in North America to give back to their communities through
payroll deduction. Traditionally, the Foundation has provided the incentive
for giving by partially matching every employee-raised dollar. This includes
all pledges, one-time cash donations and revenue raised from special events
that many locations hold in conjunction with their campaigns. In this way ADC
employees and the ADC Foundation provide for the myriad of social and civic
needs in ADC business locations where ADC employees live and work.
In the Twin Cities of Minnesota, ADC also supports three other
federated fund organizations besides the Greater Twin Cities United Way: Community
Health Charities, Minnesota Environmental Fund, and United Arts.
