Community Engagement
Adobe values feedback and engagement from community members about our social impact and programs. If you are a non-profit looking to engage with Adobe, please see our non-profit collaboration guide for ways to get involved including hosting Adobe volunteers, getting matching grants, pro bono project assistance and more.
Adobe is proud to be a long-time partner with the City of San Jose since our headquarters opened in downtown in the 1990s. We recognize the unique impact our company makes on our hometown and welcome input from community members through several avenues.
Adobe executives and employees serve on boards and groups that impact our local San Jose community. Through these groups, the public has forums to address issues and comments specific to the group. Adobe often sponsors specific events in San Jose that match our Adobe values of creating change and provide funding for key causes such as transportation and homelessness. As part of the development process for our North Tower which broke ground in Summer 2019, we engaged a series of community groups to share information about what we were planning and to get feedback on concerns. We documented feedback and sent communications back to each group with how we were responding to their comments.
Adobe is represented on several boards and organizations where community members can provide input and have a significant impact on Adobe’s vision and direction in our San Jose community:
Anne Perkins, Senior Management, Government Relations – Board Member – Silicon Valley Organization
