We believe that all organisations have a responsibility to create lasting change in society and to support and protect those most vulnerable. Charities of all sizes lead that charge but we firmly believe they can do so much more with help from the digital industry.
Traditionally that support has emerged through direct funding and partnerships but there is always more that can be done and we strive to find smarter ways to make a difference.
We’ve set up the BIMA charities council to help connect incredible charities with best-in-class private sector organisations. We want every charity to make the most of digital on their terms to meet their objectives, regardless of their size, reach or income.
So if you want to use your knowledge and influence to harness the power of digital transformation and help amazing causes make the world a better place, then get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
