At Microsoft, we are dedicated to promoting fairness, diversity and inclusion. We’re proud to highlight the extraordinary impact of a few organizations that are part of our Nonprofit Tech Acceleration program using technology to empower the communities they support. 🌈✨
Pride in the Pews works to co-create a reality where Black LGBTQ+ individuals can cultivate their holistic health and well-being in ways that honor their humanity and divinity. The organization supports and amplifies LGBTQ+ leadership, provides inclusivity training, and facilitates nationwide community building. They leverage Microsoft 365 to create enriching educational programs, streamline communication, enhance productivity, and encourage teamwork across their staff and valued stakeholders.
That Zen Life Wellness Foundation addresses mental health challenges in the LGTBQ+ and African American communities affected by the opioid crisis. With a compassionate approach, they heal spirits and uplift communities, one person at a time. The organization offers recovery support services for those affected by grief, trauma, and drug or alcohol challenges. They also provide tools for well-being and soft-skill training. Using resources like Microsoft Teams Premium, they showcase the power of community in overcoming adversity.
“Join us in our mission to heal and uplift spirits, one person at a time. Together, we can make a difference, says Executive Director PerCilla Zeno.
EMPOWER INDY champions the rights of LGBTQIA+ young individuals by improving the policies that influence their daily experiences. As a pivotal resource hub, Empower Global offers essential referrals to specialized services and organizations, alongside advocating for policy reforms that advance equity and community well-being. In partnership with the City of Chicago's Department of Family and Support Services, this organization created the Powerhouse Safehouse initiative to uplift LGBTQIA+ youth through comprehensive leadership development, mentorship, and skill enhancement programs. Utilizing #Microsoft technologies, the organization equips people with resources to grow and thrive.
We are thankful for the partnership of these wonderful organizations. Together, we are committed to creating a better, more equitable world.
