“Springwire is an extraordinary showcase in demonstrating how technology can help people in crisis to regain stability. We know that the average person served by Springwire has minimal current income, is likely to be homeless and is also caring for two dependent children. At a program cost of only $10 a month, Springwire connects these individuals to all the support services they need to get back on their feet – reducing the overall costs to serve people in need. Our employees are extremely proud to have partnered with Springwire to enable such successful social outcomes.”
- Peter Tavernise Executive Director, Cisco Foundation Director, Cisco Corporate Affairs
Cisco Systems is a long-time Springwire corporate partner, contributing millions of dollars in Cisco products and grants in support of our mission. This unique alliance is an outstanding example of how a nonprofit organization and a global corporation can come together to make a significant impact on major social issues of homelessness and the technology gap that exists for the poor.
Demonstrating extraordinary corporate citizenship, Cisco employees have also contributed hundreds of hours and technical expertise working alongside our team to customize cutting-edge technology for social good. Their talent and generosity have helped us scale our programs nationwide, expanding our reach and providing a lifeline for thousands of people in transition. We are extremely grateful for the continued support and involvement of so many dedicated Cisco employees.
