Changing Lives: Atomic Data's Community Outreach
At its core, Atomic Data is a people-focused company, striving to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals who need it most. In total, Atomic Data donates to and supports 30+ non-profit organizations. Atomic Data is a long-standing supporter of organizations like Alight, a non-profit committed to providing health care, clean water, shelter, protection, and economic opportunity to more than 3.5 million people in 17 countries each year; and Lifeworks, an organization whose mission is to foster a community where people with disabilities are more broadly valued, hired by employers, and supported every day.
One life-changing outcome of Atomic Data’s efforts was the building of the Nakivale Library in a refugee settlement of Uganda, enabling refugee children with the tools to read, learn, and continue dreaming. Quarterly grants to women making positive changes in their lives through Passion Collective, donations to Twin Cities Pride, and hiring employees from Summit Academy, a tuition-free training program, are also ways Atomic Data continues to reach outward.
At the end of the day, helping others is what matters most. Learn more about the many non-profit organizations Atomic Data supports below.
