Cisco Foundation

Cisco Foundation is a corporate-sponsored foundation based in San Jose, California. Established in 1997, the foundation's mission is to collaborate with nonprofit and non-governmental organizations globally to develop technology-based solutions that address critical human needs, expand access to education, and drive economic empowerment. In 2021, it committed $100 million over ten years to climate impact and regeneration, with $50 million allocated to nonprofit grants and $50 million directed toward climate impact investing through the Regenerative Future Fund. In addition to direct investments, it has occasionally made impact investments through the endowment, particularly in funds aligned with its climate and social impact goals. The assets are managed by the executive management team.
