The IDRC Community Reinvestment Committee promotes member companies and individuals who are involved in non-profit programs and projects that help improve the quality of life in the communities they serve, and where IDRC holds its World Congresses each year. With the IDRC Pacific Northwest World Congress currently underway in Seattle, IDRC has singled out two member companies with operations in the Puget Sound area that are committed to significant community development initiatives. They are Boeing Company, a leader in the space and aeronautics industry, and Microsoft Corporation, the world's premier software company. Boeing's Employee-Run Nonprofit Organization is an innovative force. It's the largest such charitable organization in the world.
Employees manage funds and choose the community organizations that receive help.
It all happens at the local level, regardless of where Boeing people live and work. Its approach is to help bring the benefits of information technology to people and communities, provide support to community groups where company employees live and work, and to support employees taking an active role in their communities through volunteer and matching gift programs.
