| Additional Information: | At IBM, we strive to lead in the creation, development and manufacture of the industry's most advanced information technologies, including computer systems, software, networking systems, and storage devices and microelectronics. We translate these advanced technologies into value for our customers through our professional solutions and services business worldwide. In addition, IBM believes in helping out the communities where we work, live, and raise our families. This commitment is a long standing IBM tradition and it is a commitment with action.
The overwhelming majority of grants are initiated by IBM and do not stem from unsolicited proposals. In each of our target program areas, including K-12 education, we have made multi-year commitments. Subsequent grants will develop out of these efforts after the current grants have run their course.
Unsolicited proposals are reviewed on an ongoing basis, but funding is unlikely. If your organization chooses to submit an unsolicited proposal, the following guidelines are to be used.
Process Guidelines:
Nonprofit organizations or educational institutions wishing to submit unsolicited proposals to IBM should make an initial inquiry in the form of a one-two page letter. In the event that the proposal is of interest to IBM, additional information will be requested. Do not send videotapes and other supplemental materials at this stage. The letter should include the following information:
-Brief statement fully describing the mission of the organization, the amount of money requested, and the purpose of the contribution.
-Description of the problem you wish to address.
-Proposed solution to the problem, and how IBM technology, and IBM volunteers if appropriate, will be incorporated.
-Proposed project budget with all other anticipated sources of income.
-Plans to measure and evaluate program results.
-Proposal must have a copy of an IRS 501(c)(3) ruling or other documentation from the IRS substantiating tax exemption status
-Name, address and telephone number of the project contact person.
