MERAK Cares: Helping people who help others.
MERAK Cares is our way of giving back to the communities that support us. Through technology, expertise, donations, and employee-led initiatives, we partner with charities, non-profits, and community organizations to help them do more of the important work they do every day.
What We Donate
Services
Leverage MERAK’s technology expertise through services such as website development, accessibility improvements, hosting, or ongoing support.
Time
Support delivered through people and participation like volunteer efforts, fundraising initiatives, and community events for local causes.
Funds
Financial and material contributions that help organizations achieve their goals, including monetary donations, hardware, or other resources.
No two organizations need the same support. That’s why we contribute in different ways, combining our people, expertise, resources, and funding to help where it matters most.
Our Side of the Story
Why We Created MERAK Cares
Technology can be a force for good.
Many charities and non-profits face technology challenges that could be solved through website development, accessibility improvements, digital strategy, hosting services, and ongoing technical support.
This program was created to help bridge that gap by connecting organizations with practical support tailored to their needs and circumstances. For organizations requiring other forms of assistance, MERAK Cares also supports community organizations through volunteer efforts, fundraising initiatives, and collective charitable giving.
Why it Matters
MERAK Cares reflects our commitment to supporting organizations that strengthen our communities.
For charities and non-profits, that means access to a trusted technology partner or access to needed resources. For our clients, it demonstrates our values in action and enables their own access to support, should they need it. For our team, it creates opportunities to contribute their expertise, fundraise for causes they care about, and make a meaningful impact both inside and outside the workplace.
