Caring for our communities is among NetApp’s core values. We empower employees to support the causes close to their hearts through volunteer time off, volunteer grants, matching gifts, and companywide volunteering and giving events.
No matter when or where employees choose to give back, NetApp helps further their impact through an array of employee programs, empowering NetAppers to volunteer and give their way.

When our colleagues volunteer, whether it’s individually or as a team, they earn funds for nonprofits. They can also take up to 40 hours of Volunteer Time Off each year.
