Think all big companies like Microsoft care about is the bottom line? Think again.

Last week, Microsoft published editorials in four different Washington papers on the importance of math and science education for students. And, wouldn’t you know, they hold that math and science skills are critical to the future of our kids and our state’s economy, and urged our state’s lawmakers to take bold steps to improve Washington schools.

What’s a great about Microsoft’s push for education issues is that, as a company, they’ve put their money where their mouth is and have donated $8 million—through programs liked the Microsoft Math Partnership—to improve K-12 math and science education in Washington.

Sort of makes you wish all companies were so committed to not just the success of their employee’s children, but everyone’s children and the future of our workforce at large.

Check out the editorial at the company’s website and the public service announcement we partnered with Microsoft to create above.
