Leading IT Consulting Firm Raised $35K During its Week of Giving; Promises to Continue Matching Donations Through the Holidays
Synoptek, a leader in business and technology consulting, services and management for over two decades, relaunched its Synoptek Gives program this November as part of its ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility. Efforts kicked off in November, with a focused “Week of Giving” during which Synoptek and its employees collectively raised $35K for worthy non-profits. Synoptek partnered with Orange County United Way to tackle some of the community’s most critical problems across education, poverty, health and housing. As part of its Synoptek Gives social impact and corporate social responsibility program, the company organizes local and national, virtual and in-person volunteer activities – including writing letters to students, soldiers, veterans and healthcare workers, reading to young children, packing lunches for low-income families, hosting clothing drives and more.

“Many philanthropists have predicted that the economic fallout due to the current COVID pandemic will result in a sizable loss in charitable giving in 2020”
To add a dose of healthy competition to fundraising efforts, Synoptek recently split its North America offices and employees into east and west teams led by Synoptek Gives ambassadors. Daily virtual get-togethers were held to create excitement and each team hosted games and activities to increase employee involvement. The fun included Clothing Bingo, where employees had to find clothes on the bingo sheet and donate them, and the Loose Change Challenge, where they had to find as much loose change as possible and donate it. Synoptek matched any employee monetary donations and donated $25 per hour for every hour an employee volunteered through United Way or other nonprofit organization. Synoptek is continuing its holiday giving efforts through the end of the year with a goal of matching up to $50,000.

“Many philanthropists have predicted that the economic fallout due to the current COVID pandemic will result in a sizable loss in charitable giving in 2020,” said Tim Britt, CEO of Synoptek. “In an effort to combat these predictions and help those most in need this 2020 holiday season, we re-launched our Synoptek Gives program—infusing it with new life, fun and vigor—to promote company-wide giving during a year where it’s greatly needed. We hope our efforts will inspire other organizations to give back, as these types of initiatives are crucial right now.”
