At Orchestra Software, we’re passionate about technology and the impact it can have on human beings and our planet. We’ve built our business on our ability to help others leverage technology to solve complex problems, so we bring that same mindset to helping our communities.
Orchestrated Passion is our official company wide initiative to make the world a better place, even if that means one person at a time. We strive to leverage our knowledge, empathy, ingenuity, creativity, and focus in ways that impact our communities positively.
Community: Serve
Orchestra was built on the concept of the “community”, or in our case, vertical industries. The connection among people is what makes our products so special, so we thought it only makes sense to apply that same focus on the community to our personal and individual communities.
Charity: Give
At Orchestra we support non-profit and charitable causes that are aligned with our values. We support a global charity, a regional charity in our state, and a hyper local charity that is in our immediate community.
SAP partners from around the world bid on our customers’ beers to the tune of €750! Donations were matched by SAP, which means we raised €1,500 for the SAP Business One orphanage in Uganda. These funds are enough to pay for a child’s home, schooling, healthcare and all expenses for almost a year; a child that otherwise would be homeless and have little chance in life.
Advocacy: Have a voice
One of things that has enabled our success over the past years is our marketing/PR prowess, so we thought we’d channel that effectiveness into advocacy for the causes that are close to our hearts.
You can often find Orchestra team members supporting a cause, promoting a charity, or offering additional opportunities to support causes near to their hearts.
Some causes we are actively engaged in Advocacy:
- STEM Education
- Robotics Education in Oregon
- Craft Beer legislation
- Access to capital for startups
- IT policy reform (Read how Orchestra was involved in D.C.)
