Lam believes successful societies are inclusive societies. We invest in programs that endeavor to facilitate equitable access and opportunity, level the playing field, and help communities reach their full potential. Our efforts to support community well-being focus on:
- Eliminating barriers that prevent vulnerable, marginalized and/or disadvantaged groups from fully participating in social institutions (after-school programs, education systems, workplaces, etc.)
- Leveling the playing field for underserved and underrepresented communities’ long-term economic and physical well-being
- Driving systemic change to break the cycle of inequities and/or designing new systems, processes, and procedures with inclusion in mind
We support Inclusive Societies through our charitable giving programs, including our sponsorship of United Negro College Fund (UNCF) to support their scholarship program for underrepresented students, our funding for the Family Giving Tree to provide backpacks and other school supplies to families in the Silicon Valley area who struggle to meet basic needs, and our support for Girls Inc. of the Pacific Northwest as they enable girls in underserved communities to explore STEM.
