TIAA 2021 United Way giving and volunteering campaign

United Way has been a long-time partner of Texas Instruments to build stronger communities through its giving and volunteering programs. The three areas United Way focuses on -- education, income and health – are considered the basic building blocks of opportunity that many of us have often taken for granted. But if the last year of living through the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us one thing, it is this: Our financial stability and our health are precious, and too many of our neighbors have been impacted.

At its January 2021 meeting (held via Zoom), the TIAA Leadership Team approved extension of the free membership program first announced at the 2020 TIAA Annual Membership Meeting.

Happy New Year 2021

Dear TIAA Member:

2020 was a challenging year for TIAA, and also for so many individuals and organizations throughout the country and the world. But there is HOPE for a brighter 2021 with vaccines on the horizon. 

TIAA officers have continued to meet (virtually) each month and our hope is that by sometime in the second half of the new year, health guidelines will allow us to begin holding “live” activities. 

Join TI’s virtual ‘Week of Impact’ and make a difference this holiday season

TI’s annual “Giving Tuesday” volunteer event will be a bit different this year because of the ongoing public health crisis. Instead of our tradition of North Texas TIers and retirees delivering meals to the elderly and homebound in Dallas and Collin counties, we will offer a menu of virtual volunteer options across nonprofit partners that serve the most at risk – the elderly, the homebound, those who are suffering from hunger, families who are experiencing economic hardships, and LGBTQ youth.
