Excellence in community
engagement through philanthropy,
volunteering, and STEM education

  • STEM Education
  • Philanthropy
  • Volunteering
  • Economic Impact

PNNL, operated by Battelle, is guided by a commitment to simultaneous excellence in three core areas: science and technology, management and operations, and community engagement. We know we are making a difference when we:

  • Provide economic and intellectual resources to serve our local communities
  • Build relationships and partnerships to help generate understanding of and commitment to community needs
  • Promote the value and impact of science and technology to our local stakeholders
  • Align our capabilities, technical expertise, and leadership to help accelerate community priorities

Our volunteer efforts—the giving of time and talent—are wide and deep; our staff help meet the various needs in the community through TEAM Battelle while developing future scientists through STEM education outreach.

Our philanthropic efforts—the giving of corporate dollars—are made possible through Battelle’s nonprofit charitable trust.
