$960K+ in Donations Raised and 4K+ Volunteer Hours Reported by GoDaddy Employees in 2023 - Seite 2

GoDaddy Venture Forward, a research initiative that quantifies the impact 20 million online microbusinesses have on their local economies, identified access to capital as one of the top three challenges microbusiness owners encounter when starting a business.

Through GoDaddy's partnership with Kiva, a nonprofit organization on a mission to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive, GoDaddy employees provided crucial funding to entrepreneurs around the world.

In 2023, employees had the opportunity to choose which eco-friendly entrepreneurs received GoDaddy funds in celebration of Earth Day, and by supporting the entrepreneurs of their choosing during U.S. Small Business Month. Additionally, GoDaddy publicly matched loans up to four times the giving amount, supporting select U.S. communities where Empower by GoDaddy has had programming. With employee help, in 2023, GoDaddy disbursed $114,050 across 640 loans to small business owners.

More than 200 employees, with support from GoDaddy, raised over $370K in donations for 350 organizations through GoDaddy's ‘Power of Giving' 200% donation match campaign.

Our employees care about a wide variety of causes that hold personal value to them. 

In addition to the $370K in donations raised last year, our ERGs proactively bolstered the work of several organizations. GDLIT provided hope for children through funds raised and donated to Toys for Tots, and GD Green financially supported GoDaddy customer, the Cookstove Project's mission to eliminate preventable health hazards by helping women and their families gain access to efficient, clean cookstoves.

GoDaddy encourages employees to continue making a difference in their communities.

At GoDaddy, we know that our employees' volunteerism and charitable giving not only strengthen our communities, but they also strengthen us as a team. Empowering our people here at GoDaddy moves us closer to realizing our vision to radically shift the global economy toward life-fulfilling entrepreneurial ventures. We are incredibly proud to celebrate our employees who share their resources to help others. We know, however, there isn't a finish line, and we're committed to our ongoing journey.
