Nerdery is a purpose-driven company with a vision to relentlessly invent a world that works better for all. We bring this vision to life in how we work with our clients and through our purpose-driven programs.
We strive to create a workplace that supports diversity, equity, and inclusion — enabling all employees to thrive and feel valued. Recognizing that this work is ongoing, our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) committee provides opportunities for Nerds to make a positive impact through quarterly sub-committees focused on dedicated topics within the DEIB space. The goal of this committee is education, celebration, and thoughtful discussions to spark positive change.
For 20 years, Nerdery has worked to support our communities — connecting with individuals and organizations who share our purpose-driven philosophy. Each year, we host an Extra Life Gaming fundraiser to contribute to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, raising over $400,000 to date. Our Nerdery Gives Back program provided free digital assistance to small businesses in Arizona, Illinois, and Minnesota during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We have also partnered with Amplify, an organization that supports the technology needs of entrepreneurs in underrepresented communities.
Our services are thoughtfully delivered, with an emphasis on protecting the environment and reducing our carbon footprint. For example, by eliminating the need for data centers in our offices and instead using cloud hosting solutions, we eliminate more than 122,000 lbs of carbon emissions each year. Within our offices, we also reduce waste through recycling, composting, as well as motion-detecting electrical, lighting, and heating systems — all in our effort to support a greener future.
