This is Our Sweet Spot
If there’s a silver lining to be found in the pandemic, it’s that it has underscored the innate good in people. This was evident in the outpouring of support from both an individual and corporate level. It was clear when google shared that the phrase ‘How to Help Others” was up over 3600% by the last week of March. And chances are, you’ve seen it firsthand in your network or in your favorite brand shifting its focus towards philanthropy over the last few months.
As a company designed to support the community, the pandemic has exacerbated our interest in helping, too; being able to leverage our expertise to ‘do good’ is our sweet spot. We’ve continued our history of philanthropic commitment by providing pro bono services to our partners and to additional organizations, as well:
- We optimized remote operations for one of our partners and ensured staff are able to fully leverage new technologies like Teams and Tableau
- We provided marketing expertise to support the shift of a formerly in-person event to a virtual benefit breakfast and to drive over $100k in donations through digital engagement
- We are providing daily technical consulting services to local nonprofits and small businesses in need through IT4Causes
We’re all about impact, so we’ve assembled 20 different ways you can have a positive effect on yourself and others in your community as we navigate the pandemic.
