Living our values.
The ripple effects of small acts can be extraordinary. Let’s take opportunities to lift up those who could use a little help. Our philanthropy program exists to more closely align our time & effort with our values in order to do more good. And in the immortal words of Montel Jordan…

Organizations we love to love.
There are so many good people doing wonderful things in the world. Here are a few causes that are near and dear to our hearts. If you feel moved to help (or just want to learn more), we hope you do! We’ve tried to make it as convenient as possible by linking their platforms!
Habitat for Humanity
We do it because
This is bigger than us.
We hope to leave a lasting impact with every interaction. And we’ve started viewing those every-day interactions not as obligations but opportunities to leave people a little better than we found them.
We do it because
We like people.
We may be tech people, but frankly, we’re people-people. We feel privileged to serve the communities who have given us so much and who have supported us since day one. And while we may be a company who specializes in technology, we know nothing can replace human connection.
We do it because
"With great power
comes great responsibility."
We’re not sharing to pat ourselves on the back. We’re sharing because these are wonderful causes, and we want to use the platform we have to help amplify their messages. (And yes, that’s a quote from Spiderman.)
