Kristin Berry Launches Pangea Foundation |
San Diego-based Technology Nonprofit to Bring
State-of-the-Art Technology to Nonprofits and
Community Organizations
|
San Diego, California – November
27, 1996 – Kristin Berry was working
in New York’s financial district, earning
a high salary and living a glamorous Manhattan
lifestyle, when she realized her heart just wasn’t
in it. Within months she had quit her job, moved
into her parent’s home in San Diego, and
founded the nonprofit Pangea Foundation to pursue
her dream: Using technology to unite communities
and provide resources for people who are underserved
by traditional organizations—such as people
with disabilities.
According to Berry, “Pangea Foundation
was created with one goal in mind: To bring
state-of-the-art technology to nonprofits and
community organizations. These groups are traditionally
among the last to receive breakthrough technologies.
Our goal is to change that.”
Berry hopes that Pangea Foundation (the name
symbolizes unity, with “pan” meaning “together”
and “gea” meaning Earth) will become
a leader in bringing leading edge technologies
to nonprofits across America.
