Celebrating a Year of Impact: Kentik Cares Giving Program

Summary

In 2024, the Kentik Cares Giving Program achieved incredible success! We’ve collectively donated $14,904 to causes close to our hearts. From local shelters to global relief efforts, we’ve made a real impact. Curious to see how we did it and what’s next? Read on to learn more about our first year of giving back — and the positive change we’re creating together!

As we reflect on 2024, we’re thrilled to celebrate another successful year of our Kentik Cares Giving Program. Launched in December 2017 as a seasonal initiative around the holidays — a time when many of us think about giving back — the program has since grown alongside Kentik, becoming a year-round effort in 2024. This shift made 2024 our most successful year yet, with increased participation and a bigger impact than ever before.

Transparency and tracking

The Kentik Cares program encourages employees to donate to causes they care about, with Kentik matching up to $200 per employee. To help track our progress, we created the Kentik Cares Impact Dashboard, which allowed employees to easily monitor donations and company matches throughout the year. This tool highlighted the difference we made together, showing the tangible impact of our collective efforts. Thanks to the generosity of our team, we’ve donated a total of $14,904 to various charitable organizations!

Spreading the support

Together, we supported nearly 30 organizations around the world—nearly one for each U.S. state where a Kentikian lives! Some of the organizations we supported include:

• San Diego Habitat for Humanity
• World Central Kitchen
• ACLU
• Renfrew Public Library
• Clean Air Task Force

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every employee who contributed. Your generosity helped make the Kentik Cares Giving Program a resounding success. Together, we’ve proven that even small acts of kindness, multiplied by the power of community, can create real change.

Looking ahead

What started as an end-of-year tradition has now evolved into a year-round opportunity to reflect our shared values. We’re incredibly proud of our accomplishments in 2024 and are excited to carry that momentum into the new year. For 2025, we’re setting a new goal: $20,000 in collective donations. Let’s continue creating positive change and strengthening the communities we serve.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Kentik Cares Giving Program. Together, we made a meaningful difference!
