Snowflake for Good
One of Snowflake’s company values is to “Make each other the best.” We give back to our communities in meaningful ways and inspire others to do the same. From Snowflake’s early days, we have been involved in projects that make a difference.
With a handful of employees or the entire company, we take time out to assist with humanitarian, environmental, educational, and many other efforts that deliver impact, locally and globally. Here are some of the efforts Snowflake and its valued employees engage in to help others.
Snowflakes in the Community
Our employees engage in many local programs to help benefit humanity and the environment. At our offices in Silicon Valley, across the United States, and throughout Europe and Asia Pacific, we’re committed to helping the communities we call home.
Mid-Peninsula Boys & Girls Club
Snowflake employees are passionate about helping young people achieve their goals.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
Health issues among any population group affect us all. Snowflake participates in a number of initiatives to help raise funds and awareness.
Second Harvest Food Bank
At Snowflake’s offices, and at Food Bank premises, our volunteers help ensure those in need are remembered and cared for during the holiday season.
Supporting Initiatives That Make a Difference
Snowflake has developed a relationship with several organizations to promote and contribute to the enhanced equality of opportunity in technology.
Women in Data
Women in Data aims to narrow the gender gap in data science and data analytics by encouraging more diverse representation in these industries. The organization raises awareness through events, including its namesake annual conference that attracts thousands of data professionals.
Snowflake supports Women in Data by sponsoring events, serving on discussion panels, and advocating for women across data science and analytics. Snowflake also partners with Women in Data to support the organization’s annual Women in Data and Technology awards.
Techbridge Girls
Techbridge Grils excites, educates, and equips girls from low-income communities by delivering high-quality STEM programming that empowers them to achieve economic mobility and better life chances. Techbridge Girls has set a goal to serve one million girls by 2030, providing all girls fair access to economic opportunities.
Camelback Ventures
Camelback Ventures identifies, develops, and promotes early-stage underrepresented entrepreneurs with the aim to increasing individual and community education, and generational wealth. The organization empowers local leaders to enact change within their communities by providing support through coaching, capital, connections, community, and curriculum.
Genesys Work
Genesys Work equips high school students from underserved communities with skills and experiences they can use to develop bright careers. Snowflake provides paid internships to these students so they can achieve established goals during their time at Snowflake, while experiencing rewarding work opportunities that will help prepare them as young adults.
ENABLING DATA CHAMPIONS
Providing assistance to organizations built to serve and help others is core to Snowflake. But we also recognize the significantly bigger impact of enabling other organizations to do the same.
The Data Cloud offers the technology, data, and global network so Snowflake customers can unify, analyze, and share data to reveal insights not possible before. Here are just some of our customers that deliver impact to those in need.
Children’s Hospitals Association
The Association advances child health through innovation in the quality, cost, and delivery of care across 220 children’s hospitals nationwide. With Snowflake, Children’s Hospital Association has drastically improved their data operations while also improving overall security around sensitive data when shared with customers. By having an easy-to-use and scalable data platform, the Association can provide better services to the children through increased access to deep data insights for research related to the care and quality of health services provided.
Kiva
Kiva alleviates poverty by supplying over $1.29 billion dollars in loan capital to more than 85 countries via their non-profit marketplace. With Snowflake, Kiva is able to make quicker data-driven decisions regarding loan structure and market investment, putting funds where communities need it most. Kiva’s also uses Snowflake to deliver consistent and reliable data reports to trustees and business partners, who help Kiva source entrepreneurs, screen borrowers, post loan requests, disburse loans, and collect payments – ultimately empowering Kiva towards their vision of a financially inclusive world where people hold the power to improve their lives.
Parkinson’s UK
Parkinson’s UK drives better care, treatments, and quality of life for those affected by Parkinson’s disease. With Snowflake, Parkinson’s UK is making good progress towards a 360-degree view of their customer journey – allowing them to understand and personalize the relationships they have with people affected by the disease. Parkinson’s UK believes that efficiencies created by Snowflake will help the organization reach thousands more people than they can currently help through their frontline services.
