Every day, GE people and the GE Fund are helping to improve the communities the Company calls home around the world. GE Elfun,
the global volunteer organization of employees and retirees, undertakes more
than 1,000 community service projects every year. From mentoring in schools to building playgrounds to serving meals for the
elderly to renovating parks and cleaning rivers, GE's people volunteer more than one million hours each year.
Education is a primary focus of the GE Fund. Fund programs help improve literacy and math skills in the early grades; prepare
high school students to attend college; and support women and minority students
seeking to earn engineering and business degrees and move into the faculty ranks at universities.
In all, GE and its employees, the GE Fund and GE Elfun contributed nearly $100 million in 2000 to support nonprofit community
organizations, schools, colleges and universities around the world.
