Altera Corporate Volunteer Support Guidelines & Information
Altera is committed to investing in the communities in which we live and work through corporate funding and employee volunteer efforts. We focus our efforts on programs that we believe have a positive and meaningful impact on the future of our employees and our local community. We believe that our investments today in health, the environment, and education go a long way towards building a better world for the next generation. Altera's volunteer program, the Altera Community Team (ACT), provides non-profit organizations the opportunity to request volunteer support for community activities such as walk-a-thons, service projects, and community volunteer events that involve a group of Altera employees.
