Hewlett-Packard Co is claiming to be the major philanthropist of the computer industry on the basis of its $65.3m corporate support to education in 1989, and total contributions to non-Profit organisations at $74.5m: 88% of its 1989 contributions went to educational support, primarily in the form of equipment to universities for engineering, computer science, science, and medical teaching laboratories and business schools; like AT&T and IBM, the company also supported health and human services, the arts and the company expects support to reach $3m annually by 1991; IBM, leader in education support in 1988, slipped to second place in 1989, with education contributions of $58m, but maintained its overall position as the leading corporate contributor to non-profit bodies with contributions of $135m.
