Adobe Foundation

The Adobe Foundation is a private 501c3 foundation created and funded by Adobe Systems Incorporated to leverage human, technological, and financial resources to drive social change and improve the communities in which we live and work.

Adobe Youth Voices is the Adobe Foundation's global signature philanthropy program designed to provide youth in underserved communities with the critical skills they need to become active and engaged members of their communities and the world at large.

Additionally, the Adobe Foundation supports the communities where Adobe has employees through our community grants program.

Values

Partnership – Collaborate to reach our common objectives. Strategic partnerships help us leverage resources to achieve scale so that we will have far-reaching impact.

Leadership – Create engaging experiences that inspire action. We encourage everyone, regardless of social or economic background, to act as a catalyst for change in their community.

Integrity – Adhere to the highest standards of ethics and accountability. We communicate with openness and honesty and are transparent in our actions.

Opportunity – Promote a diverse and inclusive voice. We believe that everyone should have access to educational and enrichment opportunities.

Guiding principles

We honor the philanthropic spirit initiated by Adobe founders John Warnock and Chuck Geschke and have created the Adobe Foundation to further that legacy.

We establish respectful and mutually beneficial partnerships with grantees, community partners, employees, the public, government, business partners, and our colleagues to achieve our goals.

We are committed to providing access to underserved communities, giving them the opportunity to develop 21st century skills.

We align our giving in a way that leverages our financial, technological, and human resources to support communities where Adobe has employees, focusing on arts and creativity and critical local needs.
