Invested in Austin for Nearly Three Decades
AMD is dedicated to strengthening communities worldwide, and this commitment has been evident since the early 1980s when the company's board of directors voted to set aside funds for charitable giving. AMD strives to be a good neighbor and a responsible, involved corporate citizen in our site communities such as Austin. With a vision of changing lives for the better, AMD has consistently invested technology, human resources and funds toward charitable efforts focused mostly on education initiatives, but also on providing basic needs to the less fortunate.
