Philanthropy

The future of innovation is fueled by engaged, inclusive workplaces. Juniper is committed to enabling the workforce of the future and enhancing employment opportunities in the Digital Economy.  

In alignment with this work, we are thrilled to engage in a multi-year strategic partnerships with nonprofits NPower, VetsinTech, and Colorintech.  Advancing STEM education has always been a hallmark of the Juniper Foundation, and we are excited to take this a step further by empowering a more accessible pipeline in our industry through these organizations' transformational work.

NPower creates pathways to prosperity by launching digital careers for young adults from low-income communities and military veterans. Their unique approach combines rigorous, free training and trauma-informed support services, career readiness skills, and job placement assistance.

VetsinTech is dedicated to helping veterans and military spouses transition out of active duty and into tech careers, ensuring long-term career success and financial stability. Through education, employment, and entrepreneurship, VetsinTech connects veterans to the national technology ecosystem, providing industry-specific technology skill training (and certifications), job readiness resources, and career opportunities.

Colorintech runs 3 initiatives for untapped groups: university student career readiness, mid-senior level leadership development, and pre-VC entrepreneur accelerator programs. These initiatives not only foster awareness and access but also help build a supportive network of peers, mentors, and sponsors to guide individuals through the tech landscape in Europe.

Our work is shaped by our commitment to a sustainable future. We seek to minimize our impact on the environment and, through our corporate giving, advance the crucial climate action our communities need.

Our three-year strategic partnerships with GRID Alternatives and the CLIMA Fund are driving climate solutions in underserved, grassroots communities.

GRID Alternatives is a leader in helping economic and environmental justice communities across the U.S. get clean, affordable renewable energy, transportation, and jobs. GRID is a leading voice in low-income solar policy and the nation’s largest nonprofit solar installer, serving families throughout California, Colorado, the Mid-Atlantic region, and tribal communities nationwide. Internationally, their energy access work is lighting up off-grid communities in Nepal, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.

The CLIMA Fund invests in on-the-ground leaders behind the most sustainable and effective solutions to our global climate crisis. The CLIMA Fund mobilizes the philanthropic sector to resource grassroots climate justice solutions that traditionally lack access to funding.

When disaster strikes, immediate and ongoing relief is vital to communities desperate to rebuild. In response to global health, natural, and climate-related disasters, we've donated more than $1 million to support relief efforts around the world since 2019.

Lending a helping hand is part of our way of working, and our people are passionate about supporting their communities. Full-time employees can spend five paid working days a year volunteering for causes they care about. Through Juniper’s Matching Gift Program, we’ll match donations up to $1000 per year per employee.
