Mission
THE JAMES DYSON FOUNDATION AIMS TO INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF ENGINEERS THROUGH OUR EDUCATIONAL CURRICULA AND PROGRAMS. WE ALSO LIKE TO SUPPORT OUR LOCAL CHARITIES THAT FUND MEDICAL OR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. TO DO SO, A MATCH-FUNDING PROGRAM IS OFFERED TO US DYSON PEOPLE. THE FOUNDATION WILL MATCH-FUND AN INDIVIDUAL'S DONATION UP TO $400. THE DONATION MUST BE SUPPORTING A LOCAL CHARITY THAT FUNDS EDUCATION AND/OR MEDICAL OR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. IN TOTAL, THE US JDF DONATED $13,798.18 TO VARIOUS ENGINEERING OR MEDICAL/SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH CHARITIES. AND LOCAL SCHOOL PROJECTS FROM THE US JDF MACHINE DONATION PROGRAM, WHERE A DYSON MACHINE IS DONATED TO CHICAGO NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT FUND MEDICAL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING EDUCATION, OVER $140,000 WORTH OF MACHINES WERE DONATED (THIS INCLUDES MARKET VALUE OF EACH DYSON PRODUCT). SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS YEARS, THE US JDF PARTNERED WITH OTHER DYSON CHICAGO BASED TEAMS TO HOST AN INTERNAL FUNDRAISER BENEFITING PROJECT EXPLORATION.
