Technology can be a powerful tool in helping to solve the world’s most challenging issues, and can enable nonprofit organizations to better connect people, processes and technology, and to ultimately drive greater social impact. Microsoft is committed to empowering nonprofits to advance their missions through digital transformation to:
• Engage Donors and Volunteers to strengthen support and participation
• Empower Employees to be more productive and creative
• Optimize Operations from field to office
• Innovate for Impact to accelerate organization’s mission
Aside of technology empowerment, Microsoft also sees giving back to the community as one of our culture, a cornerstone of our citizenship, and, as our employees will tell you, one of the most rewarding aspects of our jobs. Our Corporate Volunteer Team, VCare, organizes our flagship annual VCare Day to engage all Microsoft HK staff to serve the community together in a day; we also participate in a wide spectrum of community services, in partnership with various NGOs, to show our cares and supports to different social topics and needy in our city.
