Our approach to citizenship is
a full-time commitment with
the same goals, strategies, and
accountabilities that drive any
other part of our business.
GE applies its long-standing spirit of innovation and unique set
of capabilities to take on tough challenges in our communities.
In 2007, we dramatically expanded our signature programs,
Developing Health Globally™
and Developing Futures.
™
Developing Health Globally is an initiative that began in 2004
with a $20-million product donation investment in rural African
communities that has since expanded to a fi ve-year, $30-million
commitment that includes Latin America. The Developing Futures
education program aims to raise standards and increase profi ciency
in math and science among U.S. students. To these ends, the
GE Foundation has made a long-term, $100-million commitment to
U.S. students beginning in fi ve school districts (Louisville, Kentucky;
Cincinnati, Ohio; Stamford, Connecticut; Erie, Pennsylvania; and
Atlanta, Georgia) serving more than 215,000 children.
