This year, DigitalOcean is using Giving Tuesday not only as a way to lift up our company and employee contributions but also as an opportunity to reflect on progress and prepare for the future of DO Impact.
Reflecting on a milestone year
The launch of DO Impact in April was both a celebration and a commitment to developing our strategy and programming as a Pledge 1% member. We’ve made meaningful headway since then, and though we are just getting started, we are excited to recognize some early progress from this year, including:
Being present in the giving season
Yesterday, we kicked off our second employee-giving campaign of the year, where our employees will compete in small challenges with their teams and raise money for causes they care about. DigitalOcean will be matching two dollars for every dollar contributed by employees through the end of the year. We hope it inspires our teams to support and share the organizations most important to them, all while expressing gratitude for their colleagues (with some friendly competition mixed in)!
Looking ahead to 2023 and beyond
As we begin to think about our plans for next year—and the future of DO Impact—we’re excited to lean into several areas, including: defining our strategy around signature philanthropic initiatives, creating more skills-based volunteering for our employees, evolving our product donation strategy to get DigitalOcean into the hands of even more nonprofits, engaging our increasingly global employee base, forging a sustainable path forward, and sharing these stories with the world. We hope you’ll join us on the journey!
