The Maxar Better World Foundation today announced its inaugural grants to six organizations focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs.

The mission of the Foundation is to support organizations that improve the lives of individuals, embrace their diversity and provide them with the tools and opportunities needed to thrive. The organization's work is particularly focused on advancing STEM education for underserved and diverse people, helping veterans and active-duty military and their families and supporting global natural disaster preparedness and relief.

For its initial round of grants, the Foundation chose nonprofit organizations doing STEM work aligned with the mission in communities where Maxar has team members. These individuals span 46 U.S. states and territories and 20 countries. Within the U.S., Maxar centers of employment are in Westminster and Longmont, Colorado; Pasadena, Palo Alto and San Jose, California; Herndon, Charlottesville and Arlington, Virginia; and the District of Columbia, Michigan and Florida.
