Campaign: Community Impact

At AMD, we believe that when our people, our technology and our investments come together with purpose, we can help solve the world’s toughest challenges. Our employees are the lifeblood of our company. They are innovators, and their passion for problem solving extends beyond developing great products to the communities where they live and work.

In 2025, AMDers across the globe came together to create real-world impact and build stronger, more resilient communities through volunteerism and giving.

Here’s a snapshot of the AMD 2025 Community Impact by the numbers.

  • 8,050 AMDers volunteered
  • 326 service projects across 42 AMD sites globally
  • $4.5 million donated to 5,781 causes through the Matching Gift and Volunteer Reward Program

For more than 45 years, AMD community impact programs have been a way that we drive community change, and we work with nonprofit organizations that address important issues such as food insecurity, environmental sustainability, and access to quality STEM and AI education. This past year was no different.

For the fourth year in a row, AMDers teamed up with Rise Against Hunger to celebrate a tremendous milestone, packaging our one millionth meal to help people around the world facing hunger insecurity. “I think companies have a role to play in ending hunger. What impacts one person in our community impacts us all. And when our people take the time to show up and give back together, we can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives,” said Lisa Graham, senior manager, Talent, AMD.

AMDers also led 49 global Earth Day activities focused on preserving green spaces, planting trees, upcycling and recycling, and spreading awareness on issues impacting environmental sustainability. In Singapore, volunteers from two AMD sites hopped on kayaks to help clean a local lake. “The astonishing amount of trash and plastics collected in just one hour would have otherwise been detrimental to biodiversity. We are proud that our collective effort enabled a healthier ecosystem where aquatic life can thrive,” said Fang-Jie Foo, manager, Device Analysis Lab, AMD.

AMDers participated in 45 STEM-focused experiences impacting tens of thousands of students. Whether building coding robots to donate to schools, judging science fairs, hackathons and robotics competitions, or leading computer builds for students, employees served as mentors to help inspire the next generation of learners. “Giving students the opportunity to explore all the components that make up a PC helps bring technology to life. As we enter the age of AI, these are the building blocks behind the innovation they see every day. Hands-on experiences like this can help spark curiosity and encourage students to imagine what they might create in the future,” said Scott Strong, director, Channel Marketing, AMD.

Guided by purpose and strengthened by our people, AMD community impact is shaped by employee engagement and investments that help strengthen communities around the world. From expanding access to STEM and AI education to supporting environmental and basic needs initiatives, AMD is committed to creating positive, lasting change.
