Supporting nonprofits driving change worldwide
At Q2, our mission is to build strong and diverse communities by strengthening their financial institutions. One way we support this mission is through the Q2 Philanthropy Fund, which provides grants to nonprofits making a difference in the communities where we and our customers live and work.
Now in its fifth year, the Q2 Philanthropy Fund—powered by Q2 Spark, our corporate social responsibility program—is run in partnership with Austin Community Foundation (ACF). Together, we’re proud to support organizations that are building stronger and more inclusive communities.
What makes the Philanthropy Fund so special is that it’s driven by employees. Each year, a committee of Q2 team members comes together to review applications, learn about inspiring organizations, and decide where our support can make the greatest impact.
"Being involved in this year's Q2 Philanthropy Fund grant review cycle gave me a new appreciation for the impact Q2 can have beyond our day-to-day work. I was proud to represent Q2 and help support organizations doing meaningful work in the communities where our employees and customers live and work," said Kristen Reilly, Senior Legal Operations Manager.
We’re thrilled to award $150,000 in grants to nonprofits making an impact across the globe. These organizations were nominated and chosen by Q2 employees, making every grant a reflection of our mission to strengthen and uplift the communities we serve.
"We are honored to support the incredible work of this year's nonprofit organizations that are making a real difference in communities worldwide," said Kim Rutledge, Chief People Officer at Q2. "As we mark five years of the Q2 Philanthropy Fund, we remain committed to empowering these organizations to expand their reach and deepen their impact, staying true to our mission to build strong and diverse communities."
"Over the years, Q2 and Austin Community Foundation have built a strong partnership rooted in thoughtful philanthropy and community impact. These awards reflect a grantmaking program that continues to connect resources with organizations that are creating lasting change," said Austin Community Foundation CEO Mike Nellis.
The Philanthropy Fund is just one way our people support communities. Through Q2 Spark, employees have logged thousands of volunteer hours and supported hundreds of nonprofits worldwide. These efforts reflect our values and belief in strengthening communities alongside the work we do every day to support our customers.
