Avast Software takes care of your safety and security on the internet, because you have better things to do. We protect over 400 million people from threats with one of the most advanced threat detection networks in the world.
We have gained strength through the devotion of our global community. The Avast Foundation is a way of giving back, both by supporting beneficial causes and through the expertise from our employee base.
Vince Steckler, CEO Avast
We value every one of our users and we have not forgotten the communities we came from. This is why Avast Software donates 2.5 percent of its operating profit to the Foundation. These resources are then used for development projects in the Czech Republic, which has been our home for almost 30 years, and in other places and continents where Avast has offices.
Personal letter from Jarmila Baudišová
Dear friends,
many years ago AVAST began developing the first antivirus programs in order to protect data and computer security and thus help protect almost half a billion users around the world. The Avast Foundation, which was created six years ago, builds on these values. It helps people facing various problems to achieve better quality of life, to freely make decisions about their life, and to be part of a mutually supportive community.
Our programs primarily focus on systemically supporting care at end-of-life and on supporting families with children with a disability. The beginning and end of life are two stages of life which we believe to be very important. We work together with selected specialists, we pay attention to actual needs and we trust those who have been professionally working in these specific areas for many years. We are also interested in areas such as scientific development, cultural heritage and art, support for sport for the disadvantaged and education.
“For us, the word TOGETHER is key.
Together we are a community, we are stronger,
we support one another, we achieve more.
Together we want to take part in
worthwhile projects.”
AVAST is now a global company with 99% of users outside the Czech Republic. The majority of its employees, however, work in the Czech Republic. That is why we keep our home in mind and primarily support Czech non-profits and projects.
We also have a home and staff in other countries on several continents where all share the same opportunity to engage in supporting their communities through the program Together staff-led. We are excited about all we have achieved during the relatively short existence of the Foundation. We enjoy the support of AVAST management and staff, and are thrilled that their interest in our work continues to grow. Many are working with us and some volunteer on our projects or are themselves volunteers in areas and regions they know well and from which they come. They know that together we can simply do it better.
