Giving & Communities

Disaster Relief

Giving to our communities in their time of need has been a priority for Dell since the start of our company. Disaster relief is one of the four key focus areas of Dell’s Giving Program, and with the experience we’ve garnered over time we have worked to sharpen our disaster relief support. As an information technology solutions leader, Dell uses its unique capabilities to provide the communication and technology assistance critical to effective disaster response. We leverage this along with employee compassion and expertise, our ability to give financially and our ability to partner wisely to offer an approach to supporting our people and communities in times of need.
