Training & Education
We generate positive community impact, solve social challenges around the world, and create access to opportunity by mobilizing the resources of Synopsys, Inc. and The Synopsys Foundation, as well as our employees’ contributions of time, expertise, and donations.
By working to deliver meaningful change, we bring our Responsible Business strategy to the local level and live our commitments across three primary focus areas: education, community, and environment.
Synopsys for Good Focus Areas
Education
Focusing on K–12 (primary and secondary) education, we aim to prepare students for the future of work and innovation with STEM education experiences. We partner with organizations that work to close achievement gaps; inspire and engage students to build problem-solving, design-thinking, and digital skills; and expand STEM education and career pathways.
Environment
Focusing on climate change, we aim to mitigate its effects on people and the planet. We partner with organizations that help protect ecosystems, improve access to and use of clean energy in rural and low-income communities, and create experiences that shape the next generation of environmental stewards.
Delivering Positive Change
Synopsys for Good program is managed by our Social Impact team and executed in partnership with employee Community Leads and Community Involvement Teams around the world. We take a regional management approach to philanthropy and employee community engagement, and utilize a globally accessible online portal to manage volunteer projects, monetary and volunteer-time matching gifts, and employee giving campaigns.
Employee Community Engagement
Each year Synopsys employees world-wide participate in “Season of Service”, a month-long volunteer program offering a variety of volunteer projects around the world, aligned with our Synopsys for Good focus areas. These projects not only support the communities in which we work and live, but they encourage community engagement across the organization.
Matching Gift Program
The Synopsys global Matching Gift Program matches employee monetary donations and volunteer time to eligible charities and nonprofits up to $1,000 USD per year. Employee giving and matching gift supports approximately 2,000 charities and nonprofits around the world annually.

Since 1999, the Synopsys Outreach Foundation has worked to ignite interest, nurture potential, and empower K–12 students in STEM education.
