Samtec Cares

SUMMER 21’ RECIPIENTS

Samtec Cares received over 70 requests and granted almost $630,000 during the Summer 2021 Grant Cycle to the following nonprofit organizations to assist in fulfilling their missions. The Samtec Cares Grant Program was created to positively impact and assist charitable organizations within the communities where our employees live, work, and play. We have focused on the areas that are particularly important to our employees.

Samtec encourages involvement at each of our locations around the world, and we routinely host donation drives and invite non-profits into our various facilities to encourage participation.

Being a good corporate citizen of a community carries with it responsibility. Since the majority of Samtec employees come from surrounding towns and cities, Samtec plays a big impact in this role as we look to improve the quality of life for our employees when they leave work for the day. Areas of Focus:

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

To better the places where Samtec operates, we look for organizations that improve the quality of life for our employees and neighbors.

HEALTH & SOCIAL SERVICES

Our goal is to support the health of communities and aid organizations that assist those in need.

ARTS & CULTURE

We support organizations in our communities that provide unparalleled creative arts experiences and opportunities.
