DemandTec, Inc. (Nasdaq: DMAN), a leading provider of on-demand merchandising and marketing software services for retailers and consumer products companies, today announced the creation of The DemandTec Foundation, designed to enrich and enhance the communities in which DemandTec employees live and work.

The DemandTec Foundation will focus primarily on math and science education as well as youth development. The DemandTec Foundation is a corporate advised fund administered through Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF), and was created in close partnership with SVCF and Entrepreneurs Foundation, two well-respected local institutions.

"Being good corporate citizens is important to our people, and as we grow as a company we want to reinforce that culture," said Suzanne Valentine, VP of Merchandising Analytics at DemandTec. "The DemandTec Foundation will provide a platform to strengthen and accelerate our community involvement in areas where we have the potential to make a meaningful impact."

DemandTec employees are active in a diverse set of company and community activities supporting not only education but also sustainability and basic human needs. The company's signature program, The DemandTec Retail Challenge, has fostered interest among Bay Area high school students in the application of mathematics and science to solve real-world business problems; this program is being expanded nationally this year with the help of key retail partners.

"DemandTec is a terrific example of a company that has from an early stage included the broader community as a stakeholder. The creation of the DemandTec Foundation is an extension of a corporate value that has been demonstrated for years. Entrepreneurs Foundation is proud to be DemandTec's partner to develop a comprehensive philanthropic strategy," said Diane Solinger, Executive Director, Entrepreneurs Foundation.
