Doing our part to make a difference in the world The idea of community goes far beyond the cities and neighborhoods where Avnet operates. We think of a community as any group of people who share a desire to make a positive difference, wherever and whenever they can. Through Avnet Cares, our company’s philanthropic and volunteer program, our employees go beyond achieving business and financial goals. They make a positive impact around the world. Our focus areas include STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), Environment and Communities in Crisis. Avnet Care: Giving Focus STEM Support for youth programs that lead to career paths in science, technology, engineering and math with a preference for programs that serve traditionally under-resourced communities. Environment Support for programs that provide innovative pathways to sustainability, with a preference for programs that incorporate technology. Communities in Crisis Support for programs that provide direct assistance to the community for basic needs such as food, shelter and clothing.
