Social Mission

Based on our core values, The MathWorks established the following social mission:

"We will actively support our communities and promote social and environmental responsibility."

The MathWorks people actively participate in realizing the social mission. Here's what we do:

• Corporate giving: Every year we make donations to various organizations throughout the world. Most of the donations go to local organizations that will support our business values of promoting math and science education and supporting the volunteer efforts of the MathWorks people.
  
• Yearly activities: The activities are designed to encourage MathWorks people to get involved in their communities. Examples of these activities are: serving dinner at the Pine Street Inn, participating in City Year, taking nature walks at our local Audubon Sanctuary, going on recreation trips with local student groups, hosting training sessions for math teachers and students on "real world" applications of mathematics, sponsoring the town education fundraising events in our building, and participating in our annual scholarship auction.

Let the bidding wars begin! The MathWorks annual auction raises funds for educational programs in Greater Boston.

• Recycling: The company uses recycled materials for our documentation and packaging and encourages employees to recycle paper throughout the building.
• A-thon matching: The MathWorks matches the pledges of employees for recognized walk-a-thons, dance-a-thons, bike-a-thons, etc.
• Disaster relief: As the need arises, we make special donations to relief organizations. In the past we have provided donations to help those experiencing famine, earthquakes, and flooding.
• Scholarships: Every year we fund scholarships for college-bound students from four local high schools. This year we also sponsored a scholarship for the Massachusetts State Science Fair.
• Cause-related marketing: We support charities that not only provide aid, but also contribute to our business goals. It is our belief that this is a win/win situation since these donations hinge on our business success.

The MathWorks continues its ongoing support for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute by sponsoring the Dana Farber Marathon Challenge.
