The Northrop Grumman Foundation is dedicated to expanding and enhancing sustainable science, technology, mathematics and engineering education opportunities for students globally. Our education strategy focuses on supporting engineering and technology-based programs and initiatives, primarily focused on middle school through university students, that increase workforce readiness with an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

ECHO Community Outreach Funds are special funds in select communities with large employee populations. ECHO accepts grant requests from local nonprofits to meet critical needs in these communities. Led by employee volunteers, a committee from each community reviews and awards grants based on available funds. Employees can select to allocate some or all of their ECHO funding to a local outreach fund, which in turn is pooled with other employees’ funding.

Working with dynamic partners, we support the diverse needs of the communities in which we live and work through contributions from the company, the Northrop Grumman Foundation and our employees. Our core areas of focus include programs and partnerships that support education, military and veterans, health and human services, and the environment.
