2018 Community Commitment Plan Report [Poster]

Abstract

Addressing the Greatest Challenges in Our Communities: Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) is committed to being an informed, compassionate and contributing neighbor in our local communities. This commitment has been demonstrated throughout Sandia's history and is an enduring part of our future. New Mexico faces many challenges, including the highest childhood poverty rate in the United States. According to a recent community perception survey, the biggest issue facing Albuquerque is crime, followed by unemployment, and concerns that the educational system is poor. Lack of affordable housing and insufficient educational achievement are issues in the Bay Area near our Livermore site. In 2018, National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia contributed $1.4M to non-profits and organizations that provide critical resources and services to address the greatest challenges in Sandia's communities.
