San Jose, CA — July 16, 2026 — Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced a $25,000 donation to Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) in support of ongoing earthquake relief operations in Venezuela. The contribution is designated exclusively for GEM's Venezuela Earthquake Relief program and is intended to sustain the organization's immediate distribution of emergency supplies to affected communities.
“When disaster strikes in a region where our customers, partners and colleagues live and work, we want to support by acting quickly,” said Nimrod Ben-Natan, President and CEO of Harmonic. “The people of Venezuela need support right now. Partnering with an organization like GEM, which has trusted networks and resources on the ground, is the most direct way we can ensure our contribution translates into real relief.”
GEM's response teams are operating across Venezuela's hardest-hit areas to coordinate the distribution of medical supplies, clean water and hygiene kits. Harmonic's funding is directed toward sustaining these operations at a critical stage of the relief effort.
“In the wake of such catastrophic seismic destruction, speed and trusted logistics are everything to the families who have lost their homes,” said Michael Capponi, President and Founder of Global Empowerment Mission. “Corporate partners stepping up with immediate funding is what allows our recon and emergency response teams to keep packing and distributing vital supplies directly into the hardest-hit communities. We are grateful to Harmonic for this timely support, which directly fuels our ability to stabilize these neighborhoods alongside our local partners.”
