Six Feet Up has joined over 10,000 companies across the world by announcing its participation in Pledge 1%, a global movement in which companies donate 1% of their time, product, and/or equity to any charity of their choosing.

“At Six Feet Up, caring for our fellow human beings is a core principle that drives us to achieve,” said Gabrielle Hendryx-Parker, CEO and co-founder of Six Feet Up. “By joining the Pledge 1% cause, we plan to further leverage our unique talents to benefit humanity both in the projects we pursue, and by inspiring others in the tech community to do the same.”

Pledge 1% aims to provide a simple, flexible, and scalable model to integrate giving back into the DNA of all companies, especially startups. The organization provides case studies and one-on-one guidance to map out a program strategy for each partner company.

Joining Pledge 1% formalizes the work Six Feet Up is doing and has done over the years to benefit humanity, including:

• working with like-minded companies to build a better world and complete 10 IMPACTFUL projects by 2025,
• empowering people across the globe via loans granted through Kiva; and
• donating time and expertise to multiple nonprofits,
• mobilizing the greater tech community to identify and work on solving issues that affect humanity. See “Six Feet Up Makes an IMPACT at DjangoCon US 2022” to read about an example of this effort.

Six Feet Up is proud to join the Pledge 1% community, and urges other companies to take the pledge and leverage their resources as a force for good.
