Giving back is a core value of Cisco’s culture and as part of the CSM + Meraki Marketing | 2022 Season of Giving Campaign it’s time for us all to take a pause and think about how we want to contribute to causes that are close to our heart. And there are many ways for us to give whether it’s time or though monetary means. Some may feel stretched thin and are unable to volunteer time so we encourage you to consider tapping into Cisco Bright Funds donation program. We’ve put together this team Bright Funds site to make donating a little easier. If this fund isn’t resonating then we encourage you to find a non-profit that supports what matters most to you. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.” Lets collectively contribute in some way this season and sprinkle a little more happiness to the world. Happy Holidays!

This Fund includes all past recipients of a GEM Foundation grant

EmpowHER was created with one goal in mind: to empower women (and girls). Because of that, we created a fund compiled of organizations that put women at the forefront of their missions and work to fuel societal change for the better. Each organization is dedicated to energizing girls and women to embrace their unique individuality, foster strength of character, and support one another to create a new generation of empowered women through a variety of programs. Although the charities have different approaches to their work – some use legal frameworks to tackle gender inequality, others use socio-economic frameworks – their goals remain the same: to empower women by providing adequate tools, resources, and support so they can grow and positively impact their communities. Empowering women and girls create opportunities that last for generations. “There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish." Michelle Obama The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.
