Providing risk capital and resources
The Autodesk Foundation is proud to support a select group of organizations making a positive impact by providing risk-tolerant capital, software, access to technology centers, and employee expertise.
We donate software to nonprofits, startups, and entrepreneurs who are using design for environmental or social good. Eligible organizations receive Autodesk software and technology for 3D design, engineering, visualization, and simulation.
We believe that learning is the key to a successful career. That’s why we're proud to support students, teachers, and academic institutions worldwide with free access to Autodesk software.
Autodesk Technology Centers are where the future of making takes shape. With locations around the globe, we invite industry, academic, and entrepreneurial communities to apply for the Autodesk Residency program to reimagine what it means to design and make a better world.
