2020 IEEE Foundation Annual Report | 1 | Leadership Message

I am pleased to report and celebrate our success in achieving our US$30 million Realize the Full Potential of IEEE Campaign goal in 2020. I am even happier to report the depth of the philanthropic support the campaign garnered – from individual IEEE members, IEEE members working through their IEEE ‘organizational units,’ companies who rely on our members’ talents, and other individuals who see the educational and humanitarian value in the work our members are doing. I, and all the members of the IEEE Foundation Board of Directors, are grateful for your generosity and support, especially during this particularly challenging year. John R. Treichler IEEE Foundation President

We are appreciative to all the donors, supporters and volunteers who made this year and the Campaign a success. We could not have done it without you! Everyone who contributed their time, talent and treasure can take great satisfaction in knowing that the campaign has positively impacted the lives of real people around the world and will continue to do so. We invite you to peruse this Annual Report to learn more about how your philanthropic spirit during 2020 helped the IEEE Foundation improve lives. Let’s continue to realize our full potential—and make an impact—for years to come. Karen A. Galuchie IEEE Foundation Executive Director

2020 IEEE Foundation Annual Report | 2 | Year in Review As the world worked to find its way through the pandemic, the members of the IEEE community stepped up - as you always do. 2020 was a momentous year despite our collective global challenges. Thank you to our donors, supporters and volunteers for facing these challenges together.

We have 30 million bold new reasons to be proud of the result of The Realize the Full Potential of IEEE Campaign. Thanks to you, the Campaign exceeded its fundraising goal of US$30 million—with a total of $32.1 million raised. We proudly announced this achievement before the end of the year and are excited to have you celebrate and continue the momentum into the new year of 2021. Our sincere gratitude to you for helping us achieve this ambitious goal and make major impacts throughout IEEE. Even with such success, the COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges and IEEE members, IEEE programs, the IEEE Foundation and our donors adapted to address them. To support the IEEE response, the IEEE Foundation COVID-19 Response Fund was established, and donors answered the call. Donations distributed to IEEE programs and initiatives ensured a solid base of support for IEEE strategic goals that were impacted by the pandemic. While we were physically separated, a series of Virtual Spotlight Webinar events were launched in 2020, allowing the IEEE Foundation to connect with our constituents and engage an even wider audience. This is a positive outcome that we will continue into the future. Thanks to you and the donations raised in cooperation with IEEE organizational units, 229 IEEE funds, 13 of which were added in 2020, benefited from your generosity to the IEEE Foundation. What’s most impressive is the ongoing impact your generosity has on the lives of individuals and communities around the world: • Raising awareness of the IEEE initiatives that address pressing global challenges • Forging strong partnerships with corporations, individuals and non-profits • Expanding resources to have a more significant impact on global challenges. You are the driving power that makes the difference, and we look forward to continuing the momentum. In the following pages, we share program highlights and 2020 impacts. We categorize the IEEE programs supported by your philanthropy into four main pillars: Illuminate, Educate, Engage and Energize.

2020 IEEE Foundation Annual Report | 7 | IlluminateIlluminate the possibilities of technology by using it to address global challenges. Technology allows us to ask previously unimaginable questions and find solutions to unsolved problems. IEEE programs, such as the five displayed below, engage members, volunteers and students in conceptualizing and delivering technological solutions that positively impact lives world-wide.

COVID-19 raised concerns over infection and transmission worldwide, it also brought out the best of volunteerism and the human spirit. This is particularly true for IEEE Smart Village’s (ISV) work to support energy-impoverished communities globally by providing renewable energy, community-based education and entrepreneurial opportunities. According to ISV leaders, its many volunteers worked tirelessly to address the current and future needs of villagers in the face of this unprecedented global pandemic. “From donating solar power systems and setting up temporary hospitals to educating the most disadvantaged on how to stay safe from the virus, our team is continuing to use their talents to serve others,” confirmed Dan Estes, 2020 Chair, IEEE Smart Village Marketing (pictured on right), who was moved by volunteers’ empathy for others and commitment to problem-solving and In April 2020, the IEEE Foundation established its COVID-19 Response Fund.
