Making Money for Good

The for profit company that I found was Dell. They work with plenty of nonprofit organizations. One of the organizations is Red Cross. “Dell and the American Red Cross have a long-standing relationship, which Dell has expanded to include additional general funding, technology and employee engagement to support innovative disaster relief programs. As a member of the Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program, Dell helps the Red Cross assist victims of disaster and support volunteers who work at disaster scenes. Members of the Annual Disaster Giving Program pledge donations in advance of major disasters to help the Red Cross ensure an immediate response to meet the needs of those affected by disasters. Now Dell and the American Red Cross are expanding their partnership with the latest technology in enterprise social media — the social listening command center.” http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/uscorp1/corp-comm/red-cross-digital-operations?s=corp

They also work with the disaster relief program.  They go and help out areas that have been hit by natural disasters.

“In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, the challenge we all face is to understand the needs of those affected and find the best ways to assist quickly. Dell works with disaster relief organizations to get the information we need so we may respond effectively, whether by technology donations, funding support, on-the-ground clean-up help and more.

Disaster relief is one of the key focus areas of Dell’s Giving Program and with the experience we have garnered over time, we have worked to sharpen our disaster relief support.” http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/uscorp1/cr-diff-disaster-relief?s=corp The last nonprofit company they work with is Dell learning labs. They help children and teens who don’t have the computers in their country. In many areas around the world, lack of reliable, affordable electricity has been one of the biggest barriers to providing technology access to students. Some schools cannot keep the lights on and power a computer classroom simultaneously. Yet research shows that access to technology and devices in the classroom has a highly positive effect on student learning. At Dell we believe that education is a human right and that technology can have a dramatic impact on a child’s engagement, so we strive to find innovative ways of expanding access to technology-enabled learning environments, especially in remote regions with extremely limited facilities and connectivity.   Solar powered classroom One of the ways we’re doing just that is by taking electricity out of the equation, instead combining a more constant energy source — the sun — with energy-efficient Dell Wyse technology to develop solar-powered classrooms, which we call Learning Labs.
