Supporting Meaningful Causes Around the World
Perficient and our colleagues have always given selflessly of our time and talent, making our communities a little brighter each day. Through the Perficient Gives Global Grants Program, colleagues from across our global offices can nominate organizations to receive a one-time donation from Perficient.
Inspiring Generosity with the Perficient Gives Global Grants Program
Introduced in 2024 by Perficient’s Giving Employee Resource Group, the Perficient Gives Global Grants Program encourages all Perficient colleagues to nominate charities to receive a one-time $5,000 donation from Perficient. To be considered, nominations must align with one of Perficient’s corporate giving pillars: advancing STEM education and improving health and well-being.
