At Protolabs, we love giving back to our communities and have several corporate and employee programs that help further this mission. As a technology-enabled manufacturer, supporting STEM related programs and initiatives is important to us, and we’re proud to be able to do this through the Protolabs Foundation. In addition to the Foundation, we have a number of employee giving groups that coordinate monetary and donation drives throughout the year to give back to our local communities and the causes that matter most to our employees.
As a people-first company we strive to support the communities that we work and live in. That’s why each year the Protolabs Foundation provides grants to organizations advancing students’ interest in STEM-related fields.
Protolabs takes an active role in supporting the next generation of manufacturing leaders with grants, university partnerships, and other educational resources.
