Community Relations | Giving Guidelines

Ingram Micro's Corporate Giving Program invests volunteer, cash and in-kind support in communities where our associates live and work. These investments are directed to innovative programs to promote education and economic self-sufficiency, to ensure quality of life and improve the health and well-being of citizens.

The majority of grants are initiated by Ingram Micro and do not stem from unsolicited proposals. While not encouraged, unsolicited proposals are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

In order to prevent unnecessary paper waste, please do not submit hard-copy paper requests. We will only respond to proposals submitted via e-mail.
