2014 YEAR IN REVIEW

At VMware, giving back is about service and community. These aren’t buzzwords we trot out once a year; they’re values we live every day. We take action in our global communities for the causes that race our hearts. Together, we’re constructing a dynamic ecosystem of giving that continues to grow.

Here’s a snapshot of our collective impact in 2014. This is our giving network.

We are Citizen Philanthropists.
