Heart of Giving

Impact Starts Here

At NETSCOUT, we believe in the power of community—and we put that belief into action through Heart of Giving, our global employee-focused charitable initiative. The Heart of Giving is a tentpole initiative that centers our employees – the work we do is hyper local and responsive to the needs of where we live, work, and play. Through this program, we collaborate with local nonprofit organizations to support causes that mean the most to us.

The Heart of Giving: Helping You Help Others

Matching Donations and Volunteer Support

NETSCOUT amplifies impact by matching donations dollar-for-dollar to eligible nonprofits. In addition, we recognize the power of time—rewarding volunteer service through grants tied to hours volunteered. This helps extend the reach of every contribution and underscores our commitment to causes that matter to us.

Team Volunteer Grants

We offer Team Volunteer Grants when NETSCOUT employees volunteer as a group. These events create opportunities for deeper partnerships and more impactful, hands-on service in the communities where we live and work.

A Broader Commitment

Heart of Giving goes beyond donations. We provide local community sponsorships, host in-office donation drives, and support regional initiatives that address urgent and ongoing needs.

Community Impact

Community Impact Grants

At NETSCOUT, we believe meaningful change begins close to home. Through our Community Impact Grants program, we partner with nonprofit to address the needs of the communities where we live and work. Each grant provides funding to fuel innovative programs that create real, measurable impact for our neighbors.

More than a funding initiative, the Community Impact Grants program reflects NETSCOUT's commitment to building enduring relationships with the organizations shaping stronger, more resilient communities.

A Decade of Community Impact

Since launching the program in 2015, NETSCOUT employees have played an active role in giving back.  Employees review applications, meet with nonprofit representatives, and select organizations that align most closely with the years’ goals and priorities. Beyond the funding, these connections often grow into lasting partnerships, with NETSCOUT employees continuing to volunteer their time, talent, and support year after year.

Bridging the Digital Divide

For four decades, NETSCOUT’s mission has been protecting the industry’s global leaders from the risks of disruption, allowing them to solve their most challenging network performance and security problems, and ensuring the connected world runs safely and smoothly.

As we serve that mission, we are sensitive to the fact that many of our communities are suffering from the ‘digital divide’ – a gap in access and technical skills that does not allow them to participate fully in the Connected World.  We bear special responsibility for keeping the world connected. In turn, we believe access to technology and digital literacy are essential for unlocking opportunity, driving innovation, and addressing digital inequities. Through our Bridging the Digital Divide initiative, we are committed to empowering under-served individuals and communities by providing the tools, training, and resources needed to thrive in a digital world. The digital divide is an ongoing, iterative challenge and our Guardians stay ready to face it head on.

We do this through strategic investment in community partners that are on the ground doing the necessary work to build that bridge. These impact partners are empowered by NETSCOUT’s financial, technological, and human capital commitments.

We are pleased to partner with these organizations to help bridge the digital divide and strengthen our Connected World.
