There’s Room for Growth in Giving



The end of the year is usually a time of reflection for me. One thing that stands out is how Contentstack has grown in our commitment and efforts surrounding giving.

First things first: today, we announced our partnership with Pledge 1% to place 1% of our revenue into equity to fund future Contentstack Cares initiatives. Since 2018, we’ve partnered with Pledge 1% to donate our time, product, and revenue. So expanding to equity seemed like a natural next step for Contentstack; giving is an integral part of our company culture. It’s even ingrained in our values: “we care deeply about our customers and the communities we serve.”

But it’s been a growth process for us. Contentstack Cares started off as a day we simply made available for employees to take off to volunteer. There can be a lot of pressure around that — work still has to be done, meetings still have to be covered, and customers still need to be served. So, we initially only saw a handful of people take the day off to give back to their community.

When Contentstack Cares day rolled around in March of this year, the Dreamguard – our executive leadership team – and I realized that if we wanted to see people take advantage of the day, we would have to be vocal about it and model the behavior. We put out calls in our Contentstack Cares Slack channel to encourage people and give them an easy way to take action – and also shared our plans.

neha Slack - Neha Sampat.png

Pretty soon, we started to see that excitement come back from the rest of our Contentstack tribe. And they had lots of ideas.


danielle Slack - Neha Sampat.png



We saw people packing boxes for homeless shelters, volunteering efforts for Ukrainian refugee centers, picking up trash in their local parks — and so much more. They put their creativity and enthusiasm to work.


varia Slack - Neha Sampat.png



It never stopped after Contentstack Cares Day. We have a vibrant Contentstack Cares Slack channel filled with messages from our team volunteering their time, money, and energy throughout the year. We’ve even built on that momentum with so many other initiatives:

Our Virar, India office cleaned up their beaches for Earth Day (pictured below).
For International Literacy Day, our employees in the US, EMEA, and India read books to local children and donated their used books.

We’re currently participating in America’s Turkey Trot virtual race, which raises money for World Central Kitchen. Our Contentstack employees have raised over $2,000 so far.

Contentstack Cares became a way we live and a way we work.

But we didn’t start here or by pledging 1% of our equity. We started with one day of volunteering.

Loop & Tie


Loop & Tie is the first and only carbon regenerative corporate gifting platform, enabling direct mail and gifting programs businesses can feel good about. Founded in 2017, Loop & Tie is on a mission to build regenerative and sustainable practices in corporate gifting.

www.loopandtie.com

During times of uncertainty and economic instability, many of us find ourselves wanting to give back in ways big and small. 

Last year, organizations around the world navigated how they could support those in need, which led to a 24% increase in corporate charitable donations compared to 2020. As we enter another bout of economic uncertainty, many are considering not if they should give this holiday season, but how they should give. 


In today’s environment, the positive intent of sending gifts can completely miss the mark. As Q3 earnings reports show poor performance and many tech companies are performing massive layoffs, sending lavish gifts such as high-end wine, food baskets, and company swag might be perceived as insensitive or excessive. Instead of unintentionally coming across as tone-deaf, consider charitable giving as an option for those on your appreciation list this year.

Charitable giving offers your employees, clients, customers, and partners the opportunity to gift-it-forward. An ideal charitable giving experience allows your gift recipients to donate their gift to an organization that aligns with their values. The best way to do this is to provide them with an array of social impact nonprofits to choose from.

As you plan your holiday gifting program, consider becoming an extension of the Giving Tuesday movement on Tuesday, November 29th. Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that’s helping influence change around the globe through acts both big and small.

In the spirit of spreading global generosity, we have pulled together a Giving Tuesday collection. This gift collection is filled with nonprofit organizations whose impact helps many in need around the world. Learn more about the nonprofit organizations included in this year’s collection.

charity: water


Did you know 771 million people don’t have access to clean and safe drinking water? That’s 1 in 10 people. charity: water is on a mission to change that. 


The vast majority of people without access to clean water live in rural areas and often have at least one family member that spends hours every day walking to collect water that frequently carries disease. The need to spend so much time collecting water keeps children out of school and/or parents away from opportunities to earn money for their families.


Not only does access to clean, safe water help improve the health of communities, but it also positively impacts income and educational opportunities, especially for women and children.


charity: water works with local experts and community members to identify the best sustainable solution for improving water access, whether it’s a well, a piped system, a BioSand Filter, or a system for harvesting rainwater.


To date, they’ve helped fund 111,709 community-owned water projects, serving 15,477,279 people in 29 countries. 


Curious about the impact you could make? A $20 donation can provide clean, safe drinking water for 6 people for 1 year.

METAvivor


METAvivor is the only organization in the United States dedicated to funding research on stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. 


Metastatic breast cancer is cancer that has spread to other areas of the body like the lungs, liver, bones, and/or brain. 100% of deaths attributed to breast cancer are due to metastasis, and almost 100% of people who have breast cancer that has metastasized will die from it.

Operation Baby


Operation Baby brings hope to military families that are impacted by infertility issues. 


Founded in 2020 by Emma and Nick Perkins, Operation Baby was created after they experienced fertility issues and wanted to support other military couples in the same position. 1 in 8 military families struggle to conceive, and Operation Baby makes it possible so that servicemen and women don’t have to give up on their hopes of having a child due to financial restraints. 


Currently, Tricare doesn’t cover reproductive assistance procedures like IVF, and with the average IVF cycle costing between $12,000-$17,000, it can be too much for some families. If a family is looking to adopt, the average cost is $43,000 which can keep that dream just out of their grasp.

Our Pledge to Give Back


We are proud to be part of the Pledge 1% global movement and have committed product and time to ultimately impact 100 million humans. We believe automation isn’t only about driving speed and business efficiencies, and at its core, we are making work more human and freeing people to go be great.

Our Social Impact Office empowers nonprofits and uplifts human lives to create a more diverse and accessible future of work.


• Technology access: Expanding the capacity of nonprofits and social enterprises with automation and AI for good with discounted licenses and technical support.

Tech for Good with the ‘Telegram for Humanity’ Bot From distributing aid to messaging and conducting needs assessments, technology is already playing a major role supporting and scaling humanitarian response by NGOs around the world.

Automation Anywhere is proud to partner with Center for Humanitarian Technology (CFHT) to enable more internally displaced people (IDPs) to receive critical aid. We collaboratively created the ‘Telegram for Humanity’ Bot—a customized software bot, or digital worker, that automates thousands of requests for aid with greater speed and accuracy. The bot drastically reduces the amount of manual processing and data validation required and enables volunteers-on-the-ground to focus on what matters most, people. Volunteers use the much-needed time back to directly assist IDPs with food, hygiene kits, medicine and diapers, and access to advocates and specialists.

“Partnering with Automation Anywhere to build custom technology solutions for humanitarian organizations fulfills the core mission,” said Dean Hamilton, Founder and Executive Director of CFHT. “Using the Automation Anywhere technology to improve access to food and medicine in the middle of a humanitarian crisis shows the versatility of the platform and the company’s commitment to social impact. This collaboration is just the beginning of what is sure to be a long and fruitful partnership to solve technology challenges faced by humanitarian organizations across the globe.”

Since ‘Telegram for Humanity’ Bot went live, the local nonprofit organization in Ukraine has opened 12 new centers to serve more people. In the first six weeks, the bot and associated automation: • Processed 12,900+ requests for relief;


• Assisted the local nonprofit with humanitarian aid for 5,000+ IDPs in Ukraine;


• Built better data for CFHT, resulting in a simplified and faster response when people submit additional requests for aid; 


• Saved about 400 hours to repurpose into direct service with people in need of support and care. Are you on a mission for social good? Intelligent automation is ready to help.

WHAT DOES CONSCIOUS COMMERCE MEAN?




In light of Giving Tuesday and our commitment to Pledge 1%, we felt it was the perfect time to discuss the concept of Conscious Commerce.

First, the word Conscious has many meanings. If we distill it to the simplest form it might help to consider the opposite – Unconscious. So, when we spend unconsciously does that mean we spend without consideration or care? Possibly, or maybe it is a simple reflection of the options you have in front of you, or the money you have available. .

If you have the luxury of product options and finances to afford them, you might be looking for packaging claims like social and environmental responsibility, and the third party certifications that go along with them. Today, there are many brands that are building their business consciously, or with care and consideration for causes that are aligned with their values. While some companies do this for marketing reasons, or to sound good to you, it’s not difficult to peel back the veil.

Purpose-driven companies like Sarilla, are rooted in making a difference, and were built upon the ethos of helping to make the world better in some way. For us, we exist to inspire to joy, to encourage everyone to look for a reason to celebrate, to move past the pain and fear, even if just for a moment. We all have experienced tragedy, some more than others. We have learned from our partners in Rwanda what it means to to seek out joy in the midst of hardship; to help a neighbor even when we have very little; to smile at a stranger even when our child is sick. We are inspired for these reasons and we have tried to capture the resilience and the joy in Sarilla.

Before we showed up in a can in your local cooler set, we were building culturally-appropriate, locally-led models in Rwanda, to provide support for trauma healing and to build personal inner resiliency. We started to connect entrepreneurs with mentors and business skills, igniting the fire to create, to grow, to move past the history of trauma. Today we continue to build deep relationships with women in Rwanda, and are helping to grow Ubuzima Healing Garden Farm, a small plot of land which we are told brings a moment of calm to everyone who passes by and smells the fragrant tulsi, lemongrass and rosemary.

For Giving Tuesday this year, we will contribute half of all online sales toward the Ubuzima Healing Garden development fund, as well as toward the U.S. based nonprofit, Safe Bar Network. Beyond Tuesday, we contribute 1% of sales, 1% of product, and 1% of time toward causes aligned with our mission to end gender-based violence and to support entrepreneurs who have survived trauma to access what they need to live the life of their dreams. Learn more at our partner nonprofit 501c3 foundation, Africa Healing Exchange. Please consider donating to AHE any day, and thank you for choosing Sarilla!

Tequma AG


Tequma AG (Salesforce Partner) helps companies and Non-Profit organizations to automate their business processes using Salesforce solutions.

Tequma AG is a Zurich based company, specialized in implementing and developing Salesforce Ecosystem – #1 CRM in the world. Our team of experts makes sure that all your internal processes, including Sales, Service and Marketing, are automated and customized to your needs. 


 


One year ago, our founders – Jacek Czernuszenko and Piotr Pyszkowski, decided to bring new quality to the technology market and began their own journey with years of experience that they had gained. 


Since then, our company is still growing, bringing new people sharing same values. 


 


Our main goal is to empower our clients to reach the top level of efficiency and productivity, no matter how and where they operate. Through the last year we supported three Nonprofit Organizations from different areas by giving them necessary, costless tools to spread help and hope around the globe. We faced many challenges and obstacles on our way, but thanks to team collaboration and support, we met our customers’ expectations and helped them achieve their targets. 



  1. Wicci Polska – India: Thanks to Salesforce NPSP our client was able to successfully organize its annual event through automation of fundraising processes, simplified communication with event attendees and 360-degree view of all participants are just a few custom modifications we implemented.
     



  1. Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Dyspaghie (SGD): As a team we made sure that our client can successfully execute all tasks linked to the organization operation in a simple way and easily manage ongoing processes: streamlined tasks, running automatic campaigns and shared workload.
     



  1. Foundation for Immigrants Hope (FNI): By performing data migration from legacy spreadsheets to Salesforce and customizing the Salesforce system, we provided FNI fundamentals to build their strength and bring hope to all immigrants from Ukraine. Digitalized management of their great humanitarian activities and onboarding processes performed from one place helped all the volunteers to overcome upcoming challenges.  


 


Our motto says “Learn, Unlearn, Relearn”. This not only motivates us to gain new knowledge every day, but also reminds about sharing the knowledge that we have already possessed. As a Tequma team, we have successfully run three seasons of Tequma Salesforce Academy – our own, costless initiative helping people enter the job market with necessary skills and get introduced into Salesforce world by certified experts. 

We believe that is just a beginning of our journey. On Giving Tuesday and all year round we are proud to support Pledge 1% Community and we are honored to share our story to all its members. If you feel that the way how you operate could require some improvements, we will be more than happy to assist you during transition.
