FY2012 Impact Survey Data
As part of the Metrics and Measurements of our product grants, we require our grantee organizations to participate in two short surveys -- one prior to implementation and one after -- to help evaluate the impact of the product grants. The following slides summarize these impact surveys for Cisco's Fiscal Year 2012.
Employee Product Donation Program
Our Employee Product Donation Program empowers our staff to purchase Cisco equipment at a significant discount and then donate it to qualified nonprofit organizations and schools in the United States.
Equipment Donations for Research
The Cisco Research Center makes equipment donations to universities as part of an award for a peer-reviewed and approved research proposal. Details at www.cisco.com/research.
