  • Inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers

Sandia provides exceptional service in the national interest. We bring this same dedication and expertise to our local communities.

Our employees and retirees give generously, help where needed, and strive to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. Whether we are engaging children in the fascination of science, serving on a Board of Directors, volunteering at a food bank, or giving money - Sandians are passionate about service. Lockheed Martin, on behalf of Sandia National Laboratories, invests more than $1 million/annually in our local communities.
