ThankView Gives Back

by Delaney Strittmatter on Aug 26, 2020 9:00:25 AM

“Following the murder of George Floyd, we as founders were all grappling with what this meant to us personally and as leaders. We all wanted to become active participants in a positive change but we didn’t want to dictate what was important to our team members.

That’s why we concluded to let every employee decide for themselves. We’re inspired by our team’s creativity and care, which is now spread far and wide.”

-JD Beebe, CEO and Cofounder

In June 2020, each ThankView employee was given $1,000 to donate to a charity/s of their choice.

The leadership team wanted to make the donations substantial; allowing each employee’s gift to make the most impact — and thankfully ThankView is in a place to do so.

Members of ThankView chose 42 organizations and have donated $39,000 so far.

We know there’s a lot of work ahead to end the injustices we see in our home base, NYC, and throughout the US, but we want to take this moment to highlight the amazing organizations that our team chose to support.
