How the PagerDuty.org Fund Partners with Social Impact Leaders to Build a More Equitable World

PagerDuty.org, the social impact arm of PagerDuty, is dedicated to fostering an equitable world through its innovative community grantmaking program, supported by a donor-advised fund and the Pledge 1% equity commitment. The program empowers Employee Resource Group leaders and regional community social impact leads by granting them decision-making power over the allocation of funds, encouraging a partner-centered approach and equity in philanthropy. Since its formalization in 2022 with a $60,000 allocation, the program has enabled social impact leaders to distribute grants to 12 organizations globally, including Kids in Tech and Empowr, fostering youth mentorship and education. Collaboration with PagerDuty’s Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity team enhances the program's reach and impact, supporting diverse communities, including veterans through partnerships like Hire Heroes USA. With a focus on transparency and shared learning, PagerDuty plans to continue expanding its tools and training for impact leaders, sharing insights with peer communities such as Pledge 1% and Impact Cloud.
