Apogee's Philanthropic Activities
For many years...
Apogee Electronics has supported a number of nonprofit organizations around the world, as well as several in its immediate community. Today, Apogee funds a group of organizations in an ongoing effort to join the fight against child homelessness and abuse, world poverty and HIV/AIDS, among other issues. As Apogee grows, so does its commitment to the environment and the community within which it exists.

Conservation International
Conservation International is a nonprofit organization committed to helping societies adopt a more sustainable approach to development – one that considers and values nature at every turn. Every person on Earth deserves a healthy environment and the fundamental benefits that nature provides. But our planet is experiencing an unprecedented drawdown of these resources, and it is only by protecting nature and its gifts – a stable climate, fresh water, healthy oceans and reliable food – that we can ensure a better life for everyone, everywhere.

Apogee Employees... Making the World a Better Place
The Apogee Volunteer Program
Apogee Electronics’ Volunteer Program funds ten employees each calendar year to participate in a week-long program anywhere in the world. Apogee pays for the entire cost of the program, including round-trip airfare to each destination. The Volunteer Program provides a unique opportunity to employees by offering the chance to cultivate relationships and have meaningful experiences in the greater worldwide community, and all at no expense to the employee except that the week is considered a part of his/her yearly vacation time.
