Our impact
Empowering nonprofits to fulfill their missions
A partnership for creating social change
We care about impact. We want to power positive change with our dollars, volunteer hours, and products. When we find a domain where our partners are powering real positive impact, we seek to "10x it," working together to make that impact even bigger. Three domains where Box.org works towards maximum impact are child welfare, crisis response, and environmental protection.
Keeping children safe
When it comes to child welfare, time is a precious commodity: that applies to both time spent with kids and the time it takes to thoughtfully and safely match children with foster families. By powering gains in productivity and efficiency, Box can help give social workers that important time back. Critically, Box can also help to secure personal information to prevent identity theft. Aligning our volunteering and giving programs with these efforts can create even deeper community connection and impact.
"Having the information you need at the moment of need is so critical. Because of our multi-faceted partnership with Box, access to a copy of a youth's ID can mean access to shelter, submitting a job application, or enrolling in school for a youth we support."
—Sixto Cancel, Founder and CEO, Think of Us
"We are so grateful for our partnership with Box, from their volunteering to fundraising to product discounts. Their active engagement and support for foster youth are so impactful to our organization, community and, most importantly, the young people we serve."
—Nkia Richardson, Executive Director, CASA of San Mateo County
Providing lifesaving support
During crisis response, every moment matters. With an easy way to work on content from any device, aid workers are better-equipped to lead lifesaving missions with dispersed teams. Securing access and protecting that critical content means that identities are protected when it matters most.
"In the toughest situations, our staff need tech solutions that enable and empower them to do their life-changing and lifesaving work. Our Box partnership has given our staff agility while making sure we can keep information highly secure so we respect the data and other rights of the people we help."
—Dianna Langley, Former Head of Digital Workplace, Oxfam International
"Box is an absolutely instrumental tool at the IRC in mobilizing our staff into a remote workforce during the current COVID-19 pandemic ... Box is our content management solution. Period. It's our essential platform."
—Madeleine Fackler, Former CIO, International Rescue Committee
Protecting our planet
Our customers are fighting climate change, championing biodiversity, and protecting our oceans. Box powers environmental impact by enabling secure collaboration with academic, government, and non-government partners as they work to translate scientific discovery into effective strategy. This important work generates a lot of data, and Intelligent Content Management makes it easy to access, use, and govern that valuable information. Not to mention the trees saved by digitizing all those paper-based processes.
With an ambitious mission to bring clean water to every person on the planet, partners like Box are helping us make that future a reality. By pairing world-class technology with generous funding and a deeply engaged workforce, Box helps us operate more effectively and reach more communities every year. What’s even more inspiring is seeing the Box team rally together to champion this cause; it shows the true power of a shared mission. Together, we aren’t just funding projects—we’re proving that when we unite our resources and our people, a future with clean water for everyone is within reach.

Changing the world with the power of technology
NetHope joins the world's largest nonprofits with technology innovators worldwide. They use Box to manage all staff and partner content. Box is also a founding funder of the Center for the Digital Nonprofit and has sponsored the NetHope Global Summit for the past five years. Thanks to the Box community, NetHope has experienced an expanded tech partner and supporter base.
Using technology for a more equitable planet
TechSoup has driven earned income by facilitating Box.org's donation program eligibility vetting since 2015. Box and TechSoup team up on educational endeavors for members and pursue extensive joint storytelling and mission-aligned projects. So far, TechSoup has raised $500K from Box and other supporters to fund the ICT4NGO nonprofit digital-assessment platform.
