Giving back: Elasticians choose causes they care about

Elastic encourages its employees, known as Elasticians, to support causes they are passionate about, providing a platform for charitable giving through the Elastic Cares donation matching program, which matches employee donations up to $2,000 each fiscal year. The company emphasizes community involvement, with employees like Carolyn Herzog, who supports civil rights and mental health organizations, and Eámonn O’Leary, who contributes to local community groups and animal sanctuaries, leading by example. Elastic organizes volunteer events and initiatives, such as the #LoveOurSeniors campaign in Singapore, where employees deliver goods to seniors, and the handicraft workshops with Brighton Connection. These efforts not only support diverse causes but also foster a culture of giving back, making the process accessible and impactful for employees globally.
