Lookout
Lookout, Inc. is the endpoint to cloud security company purpose-built for the intersection of enterprise and personal data. We safeguard data across devices, apps, networks and clouds through our unified, cloud-native security platform — a solution that’s as fluid and flexible as the modern digital world.
Looking for a way to give back to the communities that Lookout is a part of, the company’s co-founders kicked off a commitment to join the Pledge 1% movement with a pledge to donate 1% company time, product, profits and both founder and company equity. In 2016, they created the Lookout Foundation with a core mission to support STEM education and access for women and girls. Lookout then launched “Day of Shecurity,” a free-to-attend, interactive, global, one-day conference that seeks to promote the participation of women in the cybersecurity industry, which has become one of the Foundation’s key initiatives.
“There has never been a more critical time to increase diversity within the global workforce, especially within the cybersecurity industry,” says Brenley Brotman, VP, Global Recruiting and Lookout Foundation Chair. “ By getting more women involved, Day of Shecurity is paving the way for a better and more effective field of cybersecurity professionals. I’m so proud of the work we’ve done to gather powerful women together to share their professional expertise and collectively empower the next generation of female cybersecurity professionals.”
Day of Shecurity, which began in 2017 with 25 female engineers gathered around a table at the Lookout headquarters in San Francisco, has since become a multi-city and virtual event that brings together women from over 50 countries. In total, there have been five in-person and three virtual conferences, which have collectively welcomed over 4,500 participants. The sessions and conversations range from red teams, government risk and compliance, to upskilling and career development. The event has also attracted more than 50 expo sponsors, including top names in tech like Atlassian, AWS, Google, Lyft, Salesforce, and more. Lookout female employees volunteer at the event, and Lookout gifts one-year free access to Lookout’s premium product to all Day of Shecurity attendees.
The Lookout Foundation also supports gender diversity in the cybersecurity industry by giving grants and volunteer time to impactful nonprofits that support STEM education for women and minorities in the cities where Lookout offices are located including SMASH, Stemettes in the UK, and more.
Endiem
Endiem is Houston’s biggest independent Salesforce Partner. We design and build Salesforce solutions that scale for growth.
Giving Tuesday is an important day in the calendar at Endiem. That’s because we firmly believe in the power of corporate philanthropy and the difference we can make.
To mark the date, we’d like to take this opportunity to highlight a cause close to our hearts, Kids Meals, inc.
Every day in Houston, 1 in 4 children don’t know when they’ll get their next meal. Food insecurity harms children: it contributes to poor performance in school, reduced attention in class, behavioral issues, increased absences, a higher risk of obesity and other negative outcomes.
Endiem thinks every kid should have healthy food and no child should go hungry. This is why we donate to Kid’s Meals Inc. In fact, over our 10 years in business, Endiem has made and delivered more than 33,000 free, healthy meals to hungry children.
This year, we will take giving one step further, by adopting two Kids Meals Inc families this Christmas, delivering gifts and food right to their home in Houston.
Giving back is part of our mission at Endiem, and we’d encourage all other businesses to do the same. Joining the Pledge1% movement is a great way to build a commitment to corporate giving, both now and in the future. As a member of this philanthropic community, we’ve taken the pledge to donate at least 1% of our profit to our nominated charity, Kids Meals Inc. among others.
So, what will you do today to build a better future? We hope that you will join us this Giving Tuesday in pledging to support those less fortunate than ourselves by donating time and profit.
If you want to donate to Kid’s Meals, you can make a donation here.
Horizon Therapeutics
At Horizon, we believe science and compassion must work together to transform lives. Our mission to deliver medicines for rare, autoimmune and severe inflammatory diseases and provide compassionate support comes from our strong and simple philosophy to make a meaningful difference for patients and communities in need.
https://www.horizontherapeutics.com/
At Horizon, we measure success by the numbers that matter the most: the number of lives we touch, the number of lives we change and the number of those who work tirelessly to help save. Our corporate social responsibility team is consistently finding ways to leverage corporate resources to enable personal giving that goes beyond traditional monetary donations.
Horizon has a longstanding partnership with Make-A-Wish foundation, supporting chapters in Ireland, Canada, the Mid-Atlantic region, Chicago and the Bay Area. While Horizon has consistently provided funding for various Make-A-Wish programs, to elevate the partnership further, Horizon’s corporate social responsibility team devised Miles+, which launched in 2021. Through the Miles+ program, employees can donate airline miles directly to the Make-A-Wish foundation, enabling those miles to be used to fulfill the wishes of seriously ill children. While airline miles can expire, donated miles never do. In 2021, Horizon employees donated 190,621 miles to help make a difference in the lives of children. For 2022, Horizon has challenged its employees to donate enough miles to complete a flight path around Horizon’s global offices: Dublin -> D.C. -> Chicago -> San Francisco -> Japan.
At Horizon, the authentic prioritization to give back is shared amongst employees across the board and around the world, from the CEO down to the interns. Our Miles+ initiative is the latest embodiment of the company’s entrepreneurial culture and commitment to giving back.

Building Hope in Brazil
The trailer for the video we’re making can be viewed here.
Using business as a force for good is smart business. It builds culture, promotes empathy and compassion, and fills our hearts and minds with hope for a better future. In late 2019, I proposed to our CEO, Alex Collmer, that we carve off a piece of our foundation’s annual budget for a Give’s sponsored service trip to a country where we work and live. He smiled his boyish smile and said, “I love that idea; let’s do it.”
Being fresh off a family service trip a few months prior had proven to me that giving one’s energy and time is far more gratifying than writing a check, buying mint cookies, or signing a petition. The act of being part of the solution by showing up and standing beside someone in need changed my life, and I hoped would change the lives of a few VodMobbers too.
A relative latecomer to volunteering, my desire was to “hook” employees by cultivating the spirit of giving through physically participating in an act that was much bigger than themselves. Why? For the future. To pass forward the torch of love and compassion for one another. Working at VidMob will not be the last job for most of us in our careers. So even if just one of the seventeen employees that went on the trip demanded a similar social good service program from their next employer, I’d consider that a win. A win for the employees and for society.
As soon as the planning started, it ended due to the pandemic. The world was still. The birds chirp a little louder. Horns from all buses were almost nonexistent. An indefinite hold gripped us all. Years went by before an ember glowed, and I was able to begin planning again. Although I was isolated at home, somehow, I felt magically connected to more people during the pandemic than at any other time in my career. I did the best I could to turn lemons into lemonade.
One of the most meaningful connections I made was when my co-worker, Jessica Mendoza, from Mexico City, introduced me to a contact at Twitter for Good in Washington, D.C., who, in turn, introduced me to TECHO in Miami, FL. TECHO (teh-choh) is a youth-led non-profit organization that works in Latin America to create a just society without poverty. Their mission is to change that reality, end poverty, and shape a future we all want to live in. In 25 years, TECHO has built over 1.3M homes in over 19 countries. After two Zoom meetings, it was clear that TECHO needed to create intelligent videos for their marketing, and Gives’ needed an organization seasoned in planning service trips for multinational companies. Our service opportunity would be to participate in their emergency house building program, which would consist of helping build two 12’ x 20’ homes an hour’s bus ride outside of Rio de Janeiro. Perfect. Let’s go, let’s go! And go we did.
Mid-May arrived, and from around the globe, a cross-functional group of VidMobbers boarded planes to Brazil. When we arrived, we took the obligatory sightseeing tours and then met up with the TECHO team to make the final mental preparations for two very full days of painting, digging, hammering, and some more digging.
To give a sense of the service trip from an inside perspective, I interviewed Kelly Abrams, from the growth team, and asked her a few questions in hopes of framing the experience and adding some additional color.
Below is what Kelly had to say:
- Q: Kelly, why did you sign up for the VidMob Service trip to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil?
- A: I originally signed up for the trip as it was an amazing initiative for Vidmob to come together and put a lot of our shared excitement and passion about Gives to work in an extremely tangible way. I love being able to see the impact on someone’s life, not only through the work we are able to do normally through Gives, but I was also excited to see what difference we, as a company, would be able to make in a more “boots on the ground” experience.
- Q: Since this was the inaugural trip and there were no other stories to learn from, what did you ‘expect’ to get out of the experience?
- A: This is a tough one. I knew we’d be able to build homes for both Bruna and Louisa, two young mothers both living in poverty. And I knew I’d get personal growth out of this experience and be able to spend time with colleagues I hadn’t seen in a while or even ever met before; but beyond that, I really didn’t go in expecting to get one specific thing from the trip.
- Q: If you got something different than you expected, what was it?
- A: I got many things from the experience that I didn’t think I would get or didn’t expect to get going into it.
- I got the opportunity to connect with people I had never met before on a uniquely foundational level. I was challenged by communication in a way that I never had before and relying on body language, facial expressions, gestures, and even dance moves. Most of the local community didn’t speak English; unfortunately, I don’t speak Portuguese. Going into the experience, I thought that we would be able to figure out a way to communicate through some shared words or other similar romance languages; however, that really wasn’t the case. It was such an interesting opportunity and reminder of how unique communities and cultures are around the world, but how, at our core, we’re all the same.
- I also got to look in the mirror a bit. I was on a team that built a house for Bruna, a 23-year-old woman with a six-year-old and a newborn. There are only a few years of an age difference between Bruna and me, yet we’re in such different places not only physically in the world but also in our lives. She was so happy and appreciative of everything that she had, and yet it was amazing to see someone like me next to her being the same in so many ways yet so different as well.
- I also had the opportunity to spend time with coworkers that I had not spent time with before. While I knew this was the case going in, I didn’t realize the extent to which I would get to know these colleagues and connect with them throughout the experience. So fun and so rewarding.
- Q: Did the trip change your perspective on giving or ways people can help each other in our daily lives?
- A: It definitely did it. One of the things I struggled with during the trip was the fact that we were privileged enough to go down there, build a home, feel like we made a big difference, and then leave; however, through my conversations with the TECHO team and with my own colleagues, I was reminded of the ripple effect. Although I may not be there to see how building this house will have changed Bruna and Luisa’s life beyond our days there, it was a reminder of just how much one action can make a difference. The home provides her the opportunity to bring her family back together and provides her with a new sense of security and safety.
The ripple effect was not only evident within Bruna, her friends, and the community but also within our larger team. Being able to take our experience back to the rest of our colleagues, friends, family members, and beyond, allowed us to create that ripple effect within our own communities.
- Q: You’re a person with great influence at VidMob, what would you say to others that may consider signing up for a trip in the future?
- A: I appreciate you saying “a person with great influence,” but I don’t feel that way about myself. If anyone is willing to listen, I’d tell them to apply to any future trip that VidMob offers. I still can’t believe I got to do this as part of my job and have the experience I did through work. I would also share how unique it is to have a company that cares so much and is committed to doing good.
After over 180+ people hours of hard work, we paused and looked up at two structures that didn’t exist two days earlier. In the end, we celebrated with two young families who now had a proper home. We smiled, hugged, and cried. We embraced acknowledging that what we do for each other and how we show up in the world matters.
Seventeen employees from VidMob went on a service trip to Brazil to make the lives of two beautiful young families better. It’s hard to quantify what we did, and perhaps calculating it isn’t even necessary. However, what I’m sure is necessary, and what does matter, is that VidMob showed up. We stood in solidarity and gave ourselves wholeheartedly without expecting anything in return. Now what’s critical is that we keep up the momentum, we practice kindness, and we build the future we want to see.

Contentstack
Contentstack™ – the Content Experience Platform (CXP) category leader – empowers marketers and developers to create composable digital experiences at the speed of their imagination.
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.
Pretty soon, we started to see that excitement come back from the rest of our Contentstack tribe. And they had lots of ideas.
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.
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.
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.
30% of people who have been treated for early-stage breast cancer end up developing stage 4 breast cancer, and despite the prevalence and seriousness of this, only 2-5% of research funds are focused on treatments for stage 4 breast cancer.
That’s where METAvivor comes in. They help increase awareness, advocate, fundraise, and provide information and support to patients. Their mission is to transition metastatic breast cancer from a terminal diagnosis to a chronic, manageable disease with a decent quality of life.

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.

World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
The World Wildlife Fund is the largest conservation organization. It started to help protect endangered species and landscapes and has since evolved into an organization focused on addressing larger global threats and the forces that impact them.
WWF is focused on six key areas including forests, marine, freshwater, wildlife, food, and climate, with the hope that people will one day live in harmony with nature. People are at the center of everything they do because together we can help ensure nature can provide for everything living, including ourselves.
With over 5 million supporters, they work in 100 countries around the world to help educate and influence people into making sustainable choices.

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.
