2024 HPE Accelerating Impact Campaign Donates $1.2M for Global Good
Since 2019, the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Foundation and Fast Forward have teamed up to support tech nonprofits. We’re doing this through HPE Accelerating Impact — HPE’s annual global campaign that pairs employee donations with tech-driven social good. Here’s how it works: each year, HPE employees receive a $25 donation credit to send to a list of nonprofits curated by Fast Forward. The results speak for themselves. This year’s campaign raised nearly $1.2M to fund mission-driven organizations around the globe.
With a methodized list of 21 tech nonprofits to choose from, HPE team members can choose where to direct their credit based on the causes they care about most. And the HPE team knows how to show up — this year, team members across our global workforce participated, garnering donations from the U.S. to Peru, India, Sweden, and beyond.
The 2024 tech nonprofit portfolio was as diverse as it was impactful. The top earners included:
- Farmers for Forests, which supports smallholder farmers in India by helping them adopt climate-smart agroforestry practices.
- Learning Equality, which is making open-source education available in places where the internet doesn’t reach.
- Allies Against Slavery, which uses data to rescue human trafficking victims.
“At HPE, we are committed to being a force for good and harnessing technology to make a positive difference in our communities and the world. HPE Accelerating Impact amplifies this commitment while engaging our team members to support innovators developing crucial solutions in areas such as healthcare, climate change, and human rights. I am proud of HPE and our employees working together to make an impact.”
- Fred Tan, Head of Social Impact
Year after year, the HPE Accelerating Impact campaign continues to strengthen the bridge between technology and social good. The funds raised will fuel the growth of tech nonprofits, accelerating their ability to solve some of the world’s toughest problems.
Since its inception, HPE Accelerating Impact has infused $7.4M into 80 tech nonprofits, empowering them to transform millions of lives. And it’s only getting better. Fast Forward Co-Founder Shannon Farley sums it up: “We are so grateful for The HPE Foundation’s dedication to supporting nonprofits leveraging tech for the benefit of humanity. It’s been invaluable for the sector. When meaningful capital meets innovation and social good, the possibilities are endless.”
HPE keeps showing up, and it’s this continued support that fuels the sector. From combating climate change to driving education equity, the nonprofits supported by the HPE Accelerating Impact campaigns are proving that tech has the power to create positive change.
