HP Donation Helps Nonprofit Fight Bay Area Poverty

PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 25, 2009 — Hewlett-Packard announced it will donate $250,000 in cash and technology to Tipping Point Community, a San Francisco Bay Area grant-making organization, in support of 22 local poverty-fighting organizations.

To combat poverty in the Bay Area during the current economic downturn, and as an incentive to inspire people to donate money to Tipping Point Community, the board of directors of Tipping Point Community offered a dollar-for-dollar match for money raised between Dec. 1, 2008, and Jan. 31, 2009, up to $1 million.
