Community Grants

Micron invests in communities where its employees live and work. The Micron Foundation funds educational and community grants in specific program areas in communities where Micron has manufacturing facilities.

For community and K-12 grants, eligible organizations must be located near one of the following Micron manufacturing sites.

  • Boise, Idaho
  • Lehi, Utah
  • Manassas, Virginia
  • Singapore
  • Avezzano, Italy
  • Nishiwaki, Japan

If your program is located in a community where Micron has a non-manufacturing facility, please contact the Micron Foundation via the Web or by calling (208) 363-3675.
