Selection and notification process

Volunteer requests are reviewed by employee-run Adobe Action Committees. Because the committee can manage a limited number of volunteer requests, priority is given to those nonprofit organizations that can demonstrate the most significant impact on:

Providing services to reduce hunger and homelessness
Protecting the natural environment and improving public spaces for the enjoyment of the community
Improving access to electronic information for people with disabilities
Inspiring K-12 students to think creatively, communicate effectively, and work collaboratively using digital technology

Applications are reviewed quarterly. All applicants will be notified by e-mail, mail, or phone to confirm whether they have been selected for Adobe employee volunteer support by the notification date listed on the application. Notification dates are determined by the date when the application was submitted to Adobe.
