Lam believes successful societies are inclusive societies. Through the Lam Research Foundation, the company invests in programs that endeavor to facilitate equitable access and opportunity, level the playing field, and help communities reach their full potential. Efforts to support community well-being focus on:

• Eliminating barriers that prevent vulnerable, marginalized and/or disadvantaged groups from fully participating in social institutions (after-school programs, education systems, workplaces, etc.)
• Leveling the playing field for underserved and underrepresented communities’ long-term economic and physical well-being
• Driving systemic change to break the cycle of inequities and/or designing new systems, processes, and procedures with inclusion in mind
