Box, Inc. (NYSE: BOX), the leading Content Cloud, today announced the grantees of the Box Impact Fund, which provides grants for digital transformation to nonprofit organizations doing critical work in the areas of child welfare and crisis response. The four grantees, including the African Community Center for Social Sustainability, Children's Home Society of Minnesota, U.S. Digital Response, and Water Mission, each received grants for $25,000 – totaling $100,000.

“At Box, teaming up with and empowering nonprofit organizations world-wide is a reflection of who we are as company, which is why we are thrilled to support four incredible organizations today with digital transformation grants from the Box Impact Fund,” said Corrie Conrad, Executive Director of Box.org and VP, Communities and Impact at Box. “We’ve seen first-hand the impact of technology on driving productivity and efficiency gains for the more than 100,000 organizations that use our Content Cloud to collaborate securely every day. In child welfare and crisis response, the impact is incredibly tangible. It translates to more time for staff to spend with foster youth and faster processing of child support. It means streamlined resource deployment and operations that result in more immediate aid for people in the middle of disasters. We’re proud to be helping these organizations to achieve their missions and reach even more people in need.”
