Zendesk’s Tech for Good Programme Supports Nonprofit Organisations with Donated Software and Expertise

Four of these nonprofit partners - IRC, Ameelio, GiveDirectly, and KindWork - have been recognised in vibrant short films created by Even/Odd and directed by Amar Chebib. 

Each mixed media spot blends live-action shots with hand-drawn-style animation techniques and graphic overlay to share their compelling stories. Chebib's films capture each nonprofit as they give immigrants life-saving information, in the case of IRC’s interagency Signpost Project; connect families with incarcerated loved ones via Ameelio; let donors give directly to people in poverty, with GiveDirectly; and open doors in tech for young people through KindWork.

Aiming for direct assistance, Zendesk gives its software to the selected nonprofits free of charge to help them accomplish their goals with ease. Through the initiative, these partners are better able to track volunteers and donations, release emergency response resources, and give clients personalized help.
