Guest Blog Post: BairesDev's Giveback Program Fosters Tech Innovation and Supports Underrepresented Talent

By Thaylise Nakamoto, Off-Page SEO Manager, BairesDev

As members of the tech community, we have a responsibility to contribute to the world through innovation and tech talent cultivation. That's why we established the Giveback Program.

Now in its 8th edition, the Giveback Program, formerly the B-Grants initiative, seeks to drive change and help talent grow, wherever it may be. Every year, we curate a list of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that drive positive change for tech talent and the entire community. We invite our clients to select a cause that aligns with their values, and we make a donation to an NGO that furthers that mission on our client's behalf.

We selected EveryoneOn as a Giveback Program NPO for the midyear edition in 2022. EveryoneOn's commitment to connecting families in underserved communities to affordable internet service, computers, and digital training opportunities resonated with us and aligned well with the 6th program edition's theme, Fostering Tech Talent of Tomorrow. 

EveryoneOn was one of five nonprofit organizations that received donations as part of this edition of the Giveback Program, along with Womxn in Power, EveryoneOn, NPower, Close the Gap, and LaunchCode.

We believe that EveryoneOn continues to contribute to our shared purpose of providing equal opportunities for everyone to achieve their full potential, while we help develop a more diverse and inclusive tech industry. EveryoneOn seeks to bridge the digital gap in underrepresented communities and empower future tech talent by providing them with tools, guidance, and hands-on experience.

The 8th edition of the Giveback Program will launch in November 2023. We have selected a list of NGOs that complement this year's theme of A More Diverse Tech Future.
