Transforming our communities
People around the globe have depended on Jeppesen services for safe
and efficient transportation for over 80 years.
Each year, Jeppesen conducts a community needs assessment to deter-
mine where our grant dollars will have the greatest impact. We look for
organizations that promote innovation and introduce new voices and per-
spectives to the community.
As the company has grown globally, we have also expanded our philan-
thropic goals. Global corporate citizenship is one of our core values. It is
as integral to the company as our information solutions. This report sum-
marizes our company’s global community relations efforts during 2016.

Grant guidelines: We adhere to Boeing‘s guidelines in making charitable grants. Community needs
and detailed knowledge of our communities allows us to partner with community
organizations to achieve local strategies, challenging them as well as ourselves to
innovate, align and collaborate towards our common goals in our four focus areas.
All requests for support must align with one or more of our focus areas and objec-
tives. The four focus areas are:
Arts and Culture community support primarily leveraged through sponsor-
ship opportunities.
Education focus on primary and secondary STEM (science, technology, en-
gineering and math) education to support need, competitive workforce and strong
communities.
Environmental education aimed at changing behavior and conservation and
restoration in support of current environmental needs.
Health and Human Services programs which directly support individuals,
particularly veterans, in becoming economically self-sufficient through workforce
readiness, job placement and access to health services.
In addition to cash donations, Jeppesen also provides sponsorship
dollars to establish, maintain and enhance a business relationship to promote our
image, brand or reputation.
Scholarships for aviation-related organizations allow us to help students with their
education.
Jeppesen also provides in-kind donations of our products and services to aid hu-
manitarian organizations.

The Polar Bear Plunge to benefit Special Olympics in Montreal
Grant objectives: Facilitate positive community change by contributing to sustaina-
ble, measurable growth and self-sufficiency within education, environ-
mental, and arts and culture programs to achieve impactful outcomes.
Leverage support from Global Corporate Citizenship to share our
story with customers, local governments and community leaders to pro-
tect and advance company interests, competiveness and growth.
Build involvement and support within communities where employ-
ees work and live demonstrating Jeppesen’s commitment to its commu-
nities and employees.
Enhance positive brand awareness of Jeppesen in the communi-
ties where we have sites to drive local recognition of our values.

Arts & Culture We invest in programs that promote participation in arts and cultural activities and
experiences at our sites around the globe.
The San Jose office sponsored a “Downtown Door” in the City of San Jose school
artwork project. Otherwise boring, blank doors (such as utility doors) are trans-
formed by local students who have developed their skills and interests by compet-
ing to have their art displayed. The doors also enhance the urban experience for
all who live, work and visit downtown San Jose. San Jose
The Jeppesen Poland office has always taken corporate citizenship very
seriously, and this year their focus has been on helping the city celebrate local
culture. The office recently sponsored a public mural inspired by the
beautiful history of Polish pre‐war aviation and design.
The artwork, by well-known Polish artists, Rafał Roskowiński and Prof. Jacek
Zdybel, is displayed on one of the apartment blocks in Zaspa, Gdańsk. The
work depicts one of the key figures of the art world, Tamara Lempicka, a
Polish art deco artist who is exhibited all around the world. The aircraft
accompanying her in the sky is the PZL.37 Los (English: Moose), a Polish twin-
engine medium bomber, used by the Polish Air Force during WWII. It is a
striking recognition for the city where Jeppesen employees live and work. Gdansk
Stowarzyszenie “Przyjacio Muzyki” gives support to young musicians help-
ing them to start their artistic careers, fostering artistic contact between artistic
centers in Poland and abroad, (including music, dance, art), and making participa-
tion in artistic events possible for young people. Gdansk

Education We focus on primary and secondary STEM (science, technology, engineering and
math) education to support the need, competitive workforce and strong communi-
ties.
Shades of Blue is a non-profit educational organization that has dedicated itself
to mentoring, tutoring, counseling and arranging internships and employment op-
portunities for students that want to pursue careers in science, technology, engi-
neering and math (STEM).
The organization was conceived and created by a group of airline pilots, educators
and business people who have an interest in aviation and aerospace and want to
help introduce students to the opportunities available in the field of flight.
Jeppesen has supported this organization since its inception with cash donations
as well as in-kind donations of our products and services. The items are used in
their ground school and flight training program. They work with the students to
help them pass their FAA private pilot’s written exam. Denver
In 2007, Barrington Irving set a Guinness World record by becoming the youngest
person and only African American to ever fly solo around the world. He built his
own plane, made his historic flight, graduated magna cum laude from an aeronau-
tical science program and went on to found a dynamic educational nonprofit. Then
he turned 28.
That nonprofit, Experience Aviation, seeks to boost the number of youth in avia-
tion and other science and math related careers. Jeppesen proudly supports
Barrington’s dream with financial aid as well as services for his various programs.

Environmental Environmental education aimed at changing behavior and conservation and resto-
ration in support of current environmental needs.
The Guadalupe River park is only a short walk from our San Jose office so it’s the
perfect spot for a volunteer activity. The team worked in Arena Green, which is
right next door to the SAP Center where the Sharks ice hockey team play. It’s a
very visible spot.
Last year we spent some time cleaning and varnishing all the benches in the park.
Fortunately for California, but unfortunately for us, it was the only rainy day we’d
had in a little while. Therefore they had us cleaning the covered children’s carou-
sel. The carousel has been closed for some time due to budget cuts but they are
hoping to get funding for it from the San Jose Sharks. It needed to be spruced up
ready for inspections. San Jose
Boeing’s Global Month of Service (GMOS), held every July, demonstrates
how employees can play a significant role in our global communities beyond our
performance as a corporation. Every year thousands of employees around the
world give their time and talents to support hundreds of projects that help commu-
nities thrive. This year, Jeppesen employees from Denver teamed up with their
Boeing colleagues from Colorado Springs and Aurora to build a high priority sec-
tion of the Colorado Front Range Trail (CFRT) near Larkspur.
The GMOS team joined Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado and members of The
Mission Continues. This organization encourages and aids volunteerism by veter-
ans.
The vision of the CFRT is to create a multi-purpose trail from Wyoming to New
Mexico, along the Front Range of Colorado. Once complete, the 876-mile trail will
connect 15 cities and 14 counties, as well as scenic landscapes, cultural and his-
toric points, parks, open spaces, and other attractions. To date, over 270 miles of
the CFRT have been finished. Denver

Children and parents
work together to
learn, earn and serve
the community.
Sunday Friends, a Califor-
nia non-profit, was founded
in 1997 by the wife of an
employee at the San Jose
office.
She was concerned about
the lack of awareness
among high school students
of different cultures, races
and lifestyles, including her
own young teens.
Not fully understanding
what help was needed, she
began by having her chil-
dren interact with the chil-
dren in a shelter: playing
games, drawing and read-
ing. The children in the shel-
ter were reluctant at first to
participate, but as they con-
tinued to return each Sun-
day they slowly built rela-
tionships and trust.
The organization
“empowers families to break
the generational cycle of
poverty by fostering positive
development in children
while educating and guiding
parents to support their chil-
dren’s life success.” San

Health & Human Services The programs which directly support individuals, particularly veterans, in becoming
economically self-sufficient through workforce readiness, job placement and access to
health services.
A team of volunteers from Jeppesen Montreal spent a few hours helping to prepare for
and serve the evening meal at the Old Brewery Mission. This was a great opportunity
to work together as a team, as well as a chance to get to know those who volunteered
at the centre day in and day out, showing their acts of kindness. The Old Brewery Mis-
sion does great work for homeless people in Montreal, and we were glad to have a
chance to play a small part.
“For 125 years, the Old Brewery Mission has provided emergency services to all those
who have knocked at our door. In addition to meeting immediate basic necessities, the
Mission continues to develop and oversee long-term solutions, from mental health pro-
grams to social housing initiatives that help men and women re-integrate back into
society.“ Montreal
Our San Jose colleagues annually support the Second
Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo
Counties who provide food for those in need in their
community. They are currently serving 250,000 people
per month. They are able to provide enough food for
two meals with every dollar donated. San Jose

Our colleagues at the New York office are proud supporters of the House of Hope
charity.
House of Hope is a non-profit organization whose vision is to become a bridge of
hope that provides life changing assistance to individuals and their families. They
seek to meet immediate needs of our local community through providing food,
clothing as well as coats and blankets during the winter months. New York
Project C.U.R.E. (Commission on Urgent Relief and Equipment), based in
Centennial, Colorado, is the largest provider of donated medical supplies and
equipment to developing countries around the world.
Due to it’s proximity to our Denver headquarters, teams looking for a volunteer
opportunity chose Project C.U.R.E. Denver
The main purpose of Gdanski Klub Sportowy is to promote basketball and physi-

The Montreal team once again participated in the annual Polar Bear Plunge. This is a
fundraising activity organized to benefit Special Olympics Québec.
The goal is to collect a minimum of $50 per diver, but our team of six brave divers raised
$690, and they plan to do it again next year! Montreal
Pilots N Paws is a charitable organization who through the help of general aviation
volunteer pilots transport rescue animals by air free of charge. They provide a user
friendly website communication venue between those that rescue, shelter and foster ani-
mals and pilots and plane owners willing to assist transporting the animals. They also
promote awareness of animal overpopulation and implement education programs to end
this problem in the future. Denver provides services to help defray the cost of the flights.

This year, Denver employees had the opportunity to assist our commu-
nity during the Thanksgiving holiday. The Jeppesen Engagement
Team (JET) purchased items for House of Hope (women and chil-
dren's shelter), Humane Society of the South Platte (dogs and cats)
and the Denver Rescue Mission (men’s shelter).
Employees “purchased” the socks, shampoo, canned dog and cat
food, diapers and other necessities. The funds were then used to pur-
chase additional items. Denver

According to the Food Bank of the Rockies, one in seven Coloradans worry where
they will find their next meal – nearly half are children. They provide food for more
than 411,000 people annually. They do this by distributing 131,000 meals each day
through more than 500 hunger relief partner agencies and direct service programs.
The Food Bank is one of the largest hunger relief organizations in the Rocky Moun-
tain region. Thanks to donations, 96 cents of every dollar received goes directly to
food distribution programs.
We delivered 26 boxes of food to the food bank. This totals 800 pounds of canned
goods, cereals, toiletries, paper towels, pet food and diapers. Denver
In an effort to meet the basic needs of neighbors in need, Project Angel Heart pre-
pares and delivers nutritious meals, at no cost, to food-insecure critically-ill Colora-
dans. Each week they prepare, package and deliver over 5,500 meals to more than
1,100 people throughout Denver and Colorado Springs. Denver
Denver employees have supported the annual Backpacks for Kids school supply
drive for the past six years. This year several groups purchased all the notebooks,
pens, pencils and backpacks and then “sold” the filled backpacks to employees.
The drive helps kids whose families cannot afford basic school supplies get a good
start in school. The filled backpacks were donated to Colorado UpLift. Denver

During the holiday season, the team in Gdansk decided to support Fundacja Hos-
picyjna (Hospice Foundation). The organization has a program that assists
children surviving the loss of a loved one.
The team sold refreshments made by employees and collected over 3000 zlotych
to purchase gifts for the children at the hospice. Gdansk
Also during the holidays, members of the Finance & Supplier Manage-
ment team donated over $100 worth of household items and gift cards to
Ronald McDonald House in Denver.
In addition, they decorated the facility for Christmas and brought home-
made Christmas cookies to share with the staff and guests. They moved
all of the decorations and trees from the basement spreading them out
over three floors.
Ronald McDonald House provides comfortable, low-cost housing to out of
town mothers and fathers needing to be near their hospitalized children.

Business Sponsorships
Craig Hospital in Denver is a world-renowned rehabilitation hospital that exclusive-
ly specializes in the neuro-rehabilitation and research of patients with spinal cord
injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Craig is a not-for-profit, free-
standing, national center of excellence that has treated more than 31,000 patients
with SCI and TBI since 1956.
In 2011, a team of Jeppesen and Craig employees met to discuss the possibility of
providing patients’ and their families a chance to experience the freedom and thrill
of aviation, and to see the world from a different view. A view from the sky. The
project has been so successful that to date there have been 21 CraigFlight
Missions.
The planes and pilots for the event are members of the Jeppesen Employees Fly-
ing Association (JEFA) and the ground crew are employees and family members.

Business Sponsorships continued
Business sponsorships have given us the opportunity to support worthwhile organiza-
tions with a cash donation and in some cases, volunteer opportunities for our employ-
ees.
In addition to CraigFlight Mission, we have been the title sponsor of Challenge Air for
Kids & Friends Fly Day in Denver for the past seven years. The number of kids
participating has grown through the years with 75 kids flown this year.
Challenge Air was created to change the perception of children with special needs
through the gift of flight. Since 1993, they have been committed to making a difference
in the lives of children with special needs. With a network of 3,500 volunteers nation-
wide, they continue to grow through events called Fly Days.
“By eliminating the belief that they are limited, the children can grow to their full poten-
tial. They are given the opportunity to find courage within themselves and build in are-
as where they lack self-esteem. Challenge Air provides an unforgettable growing expe-
rience that opens the door to possibilities while allowing the children to see that if they
can fly a plane, they can do anything.” Denver
A very happy Challenge Air co-pilot
“Jeppesen’s contribution
helped Challenge Air fly 75
kids with special needs and
their families. It was a won-
derful day.
Your support ensures that
resources are available for us
to provide this experience to
a child with autism who just
might speak his first words in
the airplane, a child with spi-
na bifida dream of becoming
a pilot or a child with severe
cerebral palsy feeling the gift
of flight.”

In conjunction with Earth Day, a team of Jeppesen volunteers provided general
landscaping outside a local women’s shelter, including sweeping, raking and trim-
ming bushes.
According to Wendy Forbes, “It was a really great opportunity and honestly, there
are no words when it comes to how much this particular non-profit deserves our
support. Wonderful pick for venue and community organization – they are an
amazing group of people and their mission is heartbreaking, but so powerful.”
“There was a lot of work to be done, and I think many of us would have liked to do
more… (the lawn went unmowed and that drove several of us crazy!) It’s a re-
markable place and it was a privilege to help them even for so short a time,” said
Dave Feroe. Denver
In past year’s our Denver employees participated in the Special Olympics Plane
Pull. For the second year we decided to test our endurance and team up for Muck-
Fest to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
A group of us here at Jeppesen formed a team to run in the fun mud and obstacle
5k. No special training was required. All you needed was a pair of sneakers and a
sense of humor. The team had a blast as we took on obstacles and pits, trenches
and craters full of mud. The event is built for laughs, but we’re also on a serious
mission: to bring us closer to a world without multiple sclerosis. Denver

For the past 13 years, Jeppesen employees have generously supported The Betty
Fund’s annual toy drive in support of Santa’s Workshop at Fort Carson. Our military
families often need a little extra help to celebrate the holiday season and our dona-
tions are much appreciated.
For the sixth year, Jeppesen employees “adopted” families at Fort Carson Army Base
in Colorado Springs during the holiday season. Twelve teams purchased toys,
clothes, books and games for 14 families. Typically, the parent only requests a few
items for their child, however, the joy of Christmas is giving a gift to someone else.
Our teams made sure the kids’ received the items from their Santa list, but also pro-
vided gifts for the parents. In addition to purchasing the gifts, teams got together and
wrapped the gifts. This event is truly the highlight of the holiday season at Jeppesen.

We built 15 bikes and decorated the helmets which go with them. The bikes were provided
by “Turning Wheels for Kids”- an organization that provides bikes for kids from low income
families with a focus on preventing childhood obesity. We ‘buy’ the bikes from them to build,
and pay a ‘fee’ per participant. The ‘fee’ goes back to build other bikes for the community, so
it is a double donation! Our particular bikes were donated to “Hope Services”- another non-
profit organization that helps developmentally disabled children that we work with. San Jose
The mission of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) Young Eagles program is to
provide a meaningful flight experience—free of charge—in a general aviation aircraft for
young people between the ages of 8 and 17. Flights are provided by EAA members world-
wide. The Jeppesen Employees Flying Association (JEFA) has been participating in Young
Eagle events for the past several years.
In addition to the monthly flights, JEFA provides the Young Eagle experience to the children
of employees once a year. This year we gave 30 kids the flight of their life! Denver
In October, reports of the devastation from Hurricane Matthew dominated the headlines. Ac-
cording to MSN, Matthew pummeled Haiti causing at least 10 deaths and six more in the
Dominican Republic and other parts of the Caribbean. The powerful Category 3 storm then
headed toward the southeastern United States where authorities were readying for the
storm’s devastating combination of winds and rain. The American Red Cross launched a
major emergency response operation.
Jeppesen’s global workforce once again proved they are caring and very generous. Dona-
tions to Hurricane Matthew relief totaled $1,460, which was matched by Jeppesen.

Scholarships
Scholarships for aviation-related organizations allow us to help students with their
education.
Jeppesen has contributed to the Captain Jason Dahl Scholarship Fund since its
inception in 2001. Jason Dahl was a pilot on Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylva-
nia during the attacks of 9/11.
This fund was created in memory of Captain Jason Dahl, who lived in Denver,
with respect toward all victims of the events of 9/11/2001. It supports future gener-
ations of pilots and young people yearning to fly, through the award of aviation
scholarships annually.
“Jason never accepted less than the best. We remain dedicated to ensure that the
Captain Jason Dahl Scholarship Board and the growing community of scholarship
winners reflect this expectation of excellence.” Denver
he Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA) has offered the Jeppesen
Avionics and Jepsen Pilot scholarships for numerous years. The scholarships are
awarded to encourage the continuing education of the recipients.
RAAA promotes the maintenance of a safe and viable regional aviation industry in
Australia. Australia
Chapter 301 promotes and culti-
vates the mission of the Experi-

"To serve all of aviation by foster-
ing and encouraging individual
participation, high standards and
access to the world of flight in an
environment that promotes free-
dom, safety, family and personal
fulfillment. " Denver

In-kind Donations
In addition to monetary donations to non-profit organizations, Jeppesen provides our
products and services to humanitarian concerns every year.
We provide trip kits to pilots flying people in need of free air transportation for medical
and humanitarian purposes. These organizations remove the transportation burden
from patients so they can get to specialized medical treatment not available to them
locally. Many of these patients do not have access to conventional transportation or
are too ill to drive or fly commercially.
By providing our charts free of charge, the pilots have one less expense and are able
to provide their service to those in need.
In addition to charts, we donate pilot training materials to organizations using aviation
to teach youth math and science skills. The goal is not always to train a future pilot,
which is an added benefit, but to reach out to kids who might need an extra incentive
to stay in school and graduate.
Jeppesen provided 35 student pilot kits for use by the students at the annual Black
Pilots of America, “ Les Morris” Summer Flight Academy.
This program seeks to excite young people about flying and their potential as a partici-
pant in the aviation industry. They help the students translate this excitement to aca-
demic studies which will form the foundation of a productive career. Denver

vate young minority individuals to aspire, seek and achieve successful careers in
aviation, mathematics, engineering and aerospace. The Chapter was later re-
named the Hubert L. “Hooks” Jones Chapter to commemorate the Denver aviator
who died in 1975.
Jeppesen has provided the students with our Private Pilot Kits for numerous years
to assist them in their learning. Denver
Our charts have been an integral part of the annual Air Race Classic.
This race is the main event of women's air racing. The pilots range in age from 17
to 90 years old and come from a wide variety of backgrounds including students,
teachers, doctors, airline pilots, business owners, professionals and air traffic con-
trollers. Each race team must consist of at least two women pilots, must fly VFR
during daylight hours only and are given four days to make flybys at each enroute
timing point and then land at the terminus. The race route, which changes each
year, is approximately 2,400 statute miles in length. with 8 or 9 timing points.
Over the years, our paper charts have transitioned to many of the participants
using our digital products. Denver
