Volunteering was a welcomed break from work and it felt really good to be able to give back to people trying to break into the tech space.
My teammate and I mad a pamphlet in Spanish for preschool families about the importance of eyecare. Percent Pledge was super helpful providing guidance on our project! Overall, volunteering was a great experience and I'd do it again!
I made the pledge because this is an amazing way to automatically give a little bit each month to great charities in various areas of society.
It was an adventure! The entire experience was unexpected and fun! I was at the booth and wished there was more ways to help, but we had more than enough resources.
Percent Pledge helps us be a part of making a difference and bringing about positive change in the world.

I am grateful that this volunteer experience was made available to interns too during our time at Dexcom. It was a great experience to see how we can make an impact on the diabetic community.
We we able to help at a local school for underprivileged kids. Was a great experience for the team and for the kids!
The Passion Report is utilized in multiple ways. We shared it with our Foundation President, Executive Team, and Board of Directors to develop a strategy that intertwines with how we should and where our team wants to make an impact.

We helped with a rooftop garden that services ward 7 and 8 in DC. The volunteer coordinator let us know what our work was for right off the bat. We helped weed, water, plant and trim a rooftop basket garden.
I loved volunteering with my team to give back to kids.
Cradles to Crayons was a great place for our first volunteer event. Half the group sorted donations while the other half quality-checked kid's books. It was well organized and the stations were communicated clearly. People enjoyed the volunteer event.
My volunteer experience was great! I liked that the organization gave us freedom to choose our own project and they were really open to hearing our ideas.
We gathered as a team and broke off into groups to collect trash along the beach. It was eye-opening to track the items collected from the beach and see all the kinds of things floating around in our environment.!
From soup to nuts, Percent Pledge cares for everything.

Loved it! So great to all be in one room and discuss things as a group and within our own department teams as well. Good mix of work versus fun. The highlight was being able to volunteer together and then also all the good food.
Thank you again for connecting with us for this partnership with Dexcom! This will surely be utilized by our patients and allow for a wider reach given the cultural variety of these recipes. Appreciate the work you all do.

We identified beluga whales as part of the Beluga Bits project through Zooniverse. Loved seeing all of the cute whale pictures. Yes, it was a good partner. Lots of Beluga whales, not a lot of Jelly fish present.
Today's talent really is really intentional about values-alignment. With Percent Pledge, we can promote our philanthropic benefits externally - and the more impact we show, the more talent we can attract!

We volunteered at a Thanksgiving food drive for the elders. We packed different types of produce into bags for them to take home. I felt connected and a sense of giving back to my community.
I made the pledge because I care!
It was very interesting identifying red-headed woodpeckers. Liked seeing the different situations and how to identify different wildlife. Was a great experience.
The experience was great, and I'd love to do it again. It was nice doing something good with colleagues I don't usually hang out with. Little Essentials was patient and thorough in explaining their process.
We wanted to start with a simple charitable matching program; should we ever expand, there is that opportunity with Percent Pledge. But some vendors only allowed packages without the customization and simplicity we were looking for.

I really liked the Passion Report. It tailored our program to our employees' interests - and showed that social impact is something all of our employees really value, which was amazing to see.

Learned about Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team's efforts, pretty cool. Volunteering here was a great way to casually contribute to society.
I made the pledge because be the change you want to see in the world!
Volunteering is a wonderful way for Candid to come together. We need it for our overall morale.
Our team volunteer event with Percent Pledge was really fun!
We will always have Percent Pledge in mind when we engage in social impact goals, given the success that we've had in partnering with you. Your meaningful work has such a great impact!

We all had a fun time sorting strawberries - separating the good from the bad. The aroma of strawberries was amazing! The 2nd Harvest Food Bank of OC were prepared for all the volunteers, well organized and friendly.
I had a blast at Pride! It was great seeing the team in person again. While at the booth we had several people come up and tell us they use our product, or that they knew someone who could be helped by using a Dexcom.
It was a great experience! I was part of the assembly line, putting in packets of chili into boxes. I loved being able to bond with my coworkers over this activity. The organization was wonderful - there was SUCH a clear sense of direction and understanding for what we were all doing!
Easy to use, an expansive database of organizations to give a gift to.
We saved a lot of money switching from Benevity, which can now be invested in our employees and community.

I made giving a habit via Percent Pledge because I'm passionate about helping homeless New Yorkers find shelter and access to services and helping women and children who are victims of domestic violence receive access to free legal services.
Helping to prepare material for the Black History Month was very fun and meaningful.
I honestly feel like every company should use Percent Pledge.
I loved the volunteer event. As a remote employee, the virtual opportunity is really important. Metropolitan Ministries is one of my favorite FL charities.
We love Percent Pledge.

Employees are champions of our workplace giving program. It is so great to see employees organically messaging about Percent Pledge; it shows folks really appreciate the program. The charitable matching program has also been great for showing future employees.

Pastor Mike gave new insights to the plight of the black American. The Frederick Douglass portion resinated mostly for me with Mr. Douglass being an influential figure to President Lincoln and the abolishment of slavery.
It makes it easy to build a recurring portfolio of donations. Set it and forget it.
This online volunteer immersion class was very thought-provoking and eye-opening. It makes you think about things you may not have previously considered.
Percent Pledge allows us to make an impact in every way through its various tools for volunteering and charitable giving. Plus it's authentic and affordable, so now I'm able put our budget to work to make an effective, meaningful impact.

We packed food for the hungry, it was a fun fast paced atmosphere. We learnt a lot and had fun doing the work.
After onboarding, Percent Pledge has launched multiple new features, which is a big reason we've been so successful in engaging employees at OpenX.

I always love these events, Mick and the Percent Pledge team are great!
It was great. I did filled in the information about historical figures. I chose folks I was already familiar with so I can deepen my knowledge on them. I ended up crying because one of the quotes resonated with me so much. This was an impactful event overall.
This is really such a simple thing that makes it so much easier for people to knowingly make donations and do so more often and find things they actually want to give to or are passionate about. The ways you can look things up as well as places you can go and volunteer is really a cool idea.
Our team volunteered at the local Food Bank! We were split into two groups to do multiple tasks like organizing food, doing market runs, and setting up the store.
I liked the event organization and clear instructions. Percent Pledge and Wheelmap, the nonprofit we served, are great partners to work with.
I helped transcribe old documents from Middle England. It was very exciting as I was helping a group of people that were studying laws of possession in antiquity. I learned a lot of Middle English terms and I actually had fun trying to understand what was going on in the documents transcribed.
I made the pledge because I think Pecent Pledge is a really cool concept, I can't wait to see where it goes.
It was great volunteer experience. It is good to be able to do something even from your own home, and if we think about what the impact can be, that also made me feel like I'm making a difference.
Indeed when you give more the happier you feel. After working with WeNeedBooks we were given a tour of the neighborhood, which made all our effort resonate even much more. I truly felt a great sense of accomplishment and identity.
Volunteering was really exciting as I used my knowledge of diabetes care to make an educational resource for HBH! I had a fun time looking up diabetes friendly recipes and am grateful for what I learned in the process.
I made the pledge because I believe in its cause and want to support Percent Pledge's vision!
Percent Pledge is awesome because it's incredibly simple to organize everything CSR; they make volunteer events, campaigns, and anything related to giving back so easy.

My experience was inspirational. I learned a lot about black history, and people I had never heard of before. Their inspirational quotes were awesome to read.
It was great volunteering and providing insight around their pitch and how they can reach a larger audience through strategic initiatives. While our team was very small, I think we made a big impact we hope RedRover felt too!
Gave us a different perspective on life. And gave us meaning in what we do in the studio, helping people smile.
I made giving a habit because habits are the best way to create lasting change.
My employer uses Percent Pledge and I take advantage. I contribute a small bit to activate my employer's match and I feel good about the ease of use, recurring nature, and simple setup.
I made the pledge because I care.
It felt good to serve with the team and give back to the community.
Betterment partnered with Percent Pledge for our 1st Volunteer Week. I cannot fault any aspect of their solution. No way we could have executed this program so successfully internally - and now employees keep asking for more!

I enjoyed sorting clothes and shoes for local families in need. It was great seeing all of the clothes and materials in the warehouse. It was a great bonding experience with my team as well. There was more work we could have done, but it seemed like there wasn't enough for all of us to participate.
