Overview

Startups Give Back is the volunteering event where startups get out of their offices and work together to help nonprofits in their communities. The mission is simple: make philanthropy a top priority for startups around the world instead of an afterthought. Since its founding in 2014, Startups Give Back has blossomed into a thriving ecosystem of impact with the launch of Changemaker Forum, a live event series and digital publication for social entrepreneurs to share the problems they believe are worth solving; Social Impact Chat, an invite-only Slack community for social impact professionals; a series of well attended social impact meetups; and much more. Some of the companies that have attended Startups Give Back's volunteering events include BuzzFeed, Uber, LinkedIn, and Salesforce. "Startups Give Back made my life so much easier and made getting our office out and volunteering easy and enjoyable! If you want to get your company out into your community but aren’t sure where to start or how to do it, I would highly recommend using Startups Give Back!” – Farryn Lewis, BuzzFeed “Startups Give Back is at the forefront of a movement encouraging the tech community to give back in a meaningful way. Any tech company looking for a fun way to engage their employees in social impact should check them out. I personally have enjoyed the beach cleanups and giving back to local low-income seniors!” – Rachel Katz, Airbnb
