Community Involvement  Cadence Community Involvement Mission Statement
The purpose of the Cadence Community Involvement Program is to positively impact the communities where we live and work. We do this by building relationships, inspiring philanthropy, and promoting goodwill both inside and outside the company.
As a global community partner, Cadence and our dedicated employees share their time, talents, and resources with organizations and programs that make a difference in local communities.
Whether it's a city or a neighborhood, our mission is to help develop every community where we do business—fostering a good place to live, work, and raise and educate children. The diverse needs of these various communities, the interests of our employees, and the goals and values of the company drive Cadence's community support and activities. Our commitment to the community has twice been recognized by the Association of Fundraising Professionals Silicon Valley Chapter—first in 1997 with the award for "Outstanding Corporate Grantmaker of the Year" and again in 2002 with a "Special Corporate Award" created to honor Cadence's commitment to philanthropy and our demonstrated leadership as corporate citizen in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Cadence is the only corporation to be honored more than once by the AFPSV. Programs
Cadence and its employees support global community initiatives through various avenues: cash grants, employee matching program, the Stars & Strikes® fundraising program, in-kind donations of computer and IT equipment, and volunteer time. Programs vary from region to region.
