Spearheaded by Atlassian, Rally, Salesforce, and Tides, Pledge 1% empowers companies to donate 1% of product, 1% of equity, 1% of profit, or 1% of employee time to causes of their choice.

WillowTree’s joining of the Pledge 1% community coincides with the launch of WillowTree Social Impact, a strategic giving initiative to bring the company’s expertise and resources in mobile and web development, design, and strategy to serve non-profits and charities in their home communities of Charlottesville, VA and Durham, NC.

Founded in 2007, WillowTree has been designing and developing mobile applications since the release of the first iPhone. WillowTree is an industry leader in field solutions, media delivery, loyalty programs and payments, and connected devices.

Since its founding, WillowTree has provided financial support or client services to a number of non-profit organizations and charities including The American Heart Association, The Emergency Food Network, Charlottesville Women in Tech, and Computers 4 Kids.

WillowTree has produced award-winning work in partnership with brands such as GE, Johnson & Johnson, Time Warner, AOL, American Express, and Harvard Business Publishing. For more information, see willowtreeapps.com/pages/social-impact.
