Nokia's main objective when making corporate donations is to invest in projects that are preventive, bringing together expertise from all sectors - private, public and civil society.

Nokia makes charitable contributions to many countries around the world, targeting issues which directly involve children. These include supporting schools and kindergartens, donating hospital equipment, and providing charity for children with disabilities.

We support Unicef through their annual Seasons Greetings Cards campaign. In the US and Canada, Nokia is a major contributor to the United Way, a coalition of charitable organizations which identifies and builds on community strengths and assets. In addition, Nokia employees have initiated an employee giving campaign, which is held during the autumn each year. Nokia matches all employee contributions pledged during the campaign as well as employee charitable contributions made through the Employee Matching Gift program. Annually, more than US$ 500,000 is raised from these initiatives.
