Making Meaningful Change in Our Global Communities
Across the globe, our colleagues have always been generous, kind and committed to building a better world. Individually and collectively, we are passionate about using our time and talent to give back to the communities where we live and work.
How We're Making an Impact
Our corporate giving philosophy revolves around two core pillars, each of which are well-aligned to our business – advancing STEM education and improving health and well-being.
Our colleagues have always given selflessly of their time and talent, making our communities a little brighter each day. Here are some of our most recent initiatives.
Advancing STEM Education and Career Opportunities
Perficient is a company full of diverse and immensely capable colleagues, and we understand the importance of supporting the professional development of our global community. Yet there remains a gap in opportunities for STEM careers and education across our communities, especially among women in the field.
We recognize the need to drive inclusion and equity, and we’re committed to pursuing progress in this critical area through our award-winning Bright Paths program.
Training the Next Generation of AI Leaders
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed the way humans experience normal everyday interactions and has redefined consumers’ expectations. We are proud to partner with the Mark Cuban Foundation to host free AI Bootcamps for high school students in the Dallas area. The foundation is focused on recruiting students from underserved communities to attend AI Bootcamps with a key concentration on introducing girls and students of color to the AI and machine learning space.

Spreading Kindness in Our Communities
At the end of 2020, we chose to pay it forward. We granted nearly $500,000 to those in our communities in need — and we did it one colleague and $100 at a time. Our colleagues enthusiastically responded to our kindness campaign, applying their funds to a variety of causes and bringing support and happiness to others all around the globe.
Committing to Sustainable Business Practices
Perficient recognizes and embraces our obligation to the environment, to our shareholders, and to society in general and strives to make substantive efforts to conduct business in a manner that positively impacts the environment.
Paying it Forward to Build a Better World
Our Perficient Gives charitable match program offers U.S. colleagues the opportunity to make donations to eight great causes via bi-monthly payroll deductions that are matched by Perficient. Each participating organization was carefully chosen based on its alignment to our Perficient Giving corporate philosophy.
