Over the past decade, IEEE MOVE Global has demonstrated how engineering expertise can make a life-saving difference in times of crisis. Celebrating 10 years of impact, they’ve delivered emergency response and disaster relief support to communities around the world, reaching over 1 million people affected by hurricanes, wildfires, and other natural disasters. From restoring communications to providing critical resources in the immediate aftermath of emergencies, MOVE teams bring technical skill and humanitarian commitment together when it is needed most.

This milestone reflects the power of volunteerism, engineering, and global collaboration to serve communities in moments of greatest need. We are deeply grateful to the donors and supporters whose generosity helps make this work possible and strengthens IEEE’s ability to respond when disaster strikes.

On IEEE WIE Day and Women in Engineering Day, we celebrate the impact of women engineers around the world, and the importance of ensuring that opportunity is accessible to all. The IEEE Women in Engineering Family Cares Grant Program (FCGP) helps IEEE members with caregiving responsibilities attend IEEE conferences by providing need-based grants of up to $1,000 to help offset dependent care costs. This support enables members to present their work, build networks, and engage more fully in the global engineering community.

By reducing barriers to participation, this program helps ensure more voices are represented in shaping the future of technology. Thank you to the donors and volunteers who make this support possible.

Did you know your gift to the IEEE Foundation could go even further?

Many employers offer matching gift programs that can double, or even triple, charitable contributions made by employees and retirees. That means your support for IEEE programs advancing education, humanitarian technology, the history of technology, and engineering innovation may have an even greater impact.

Your generosity helps power programs that inspire students, strengthen communities, and bring technology solutions to people around the world. A matching gift is a simple way to maximize that impact at no additional cost to you.

The invention of the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) transformed the future of computing by making hardware reprogrammable, enabling engineers to adapt, update, and innovate without redesigning an entire chip.

Recognized as an IEEE Milestone, the FPGA has played a foundational role in advancing technologies ranging from telecommunications and aerospace systems to artificial intelligence and consumer electronics. This recognition celebrates the engineers and innovators whose work continues to shape the modern technological landscape.

IEEE Milestones honor the breakthroughs that advance technology for humanity and preserve the stories behind the innovations that continue to impact our world.
