Shift Gives is our social impact program, a way for us to make a meaningful contribution to the communities that we live, work, and play in. This isn’t just a checkbox for us—it’s an essential part of who we are.
Shift for social impact
Just as technology touches every aspect of modern life, we want our reach to go further—into the communities we’re a part of.
Supporting community initiatives with funding
Each quarter, we donate a portion of our profits to nonprofits and organizations that are making a tangible impact in fields like education, technology, health, climate action, and social equity.
Why did we launch Shift Gives?
We prioritize alignment, transparency, and consistency in all our social impact efforts. The organizations we volunteer for and support financially should embody one or more of the following.
Community impact
Our contributions of time, skills, and money can foster stronger, more resilient communities.
Corporate responsibility
As a responsible business, it's our duty to contribute to the wellbeing of the communities we operate in.
Our team
Connection. Giving back empowers us to work as a collective and use our skills to support initiatives we care about.

Being a part of a community means giving back to it
