Microsoft® Impact Story Contest 2009: We Won!

June 29th, 2009 by Kraig Kuipers

Great news just arrived here at Pangea Foundation: We won the Microsoft® Impact Story Contest 2009!

As you can imagine, we are deeply honored. And encouraged to do more.

One thing is certain: Without donated Microsoft technologies, our mission would not be possible. Microsoft technologies underpin everything we do. They provide the building blocks we use to create innovative solutions for nonprofits. The truth is, it’s because of these levers of innovation that Pangea Foundation was recently named one of the most innovative companies in America by the American Business Awards. And with ongoing support from Microsoft and TechSoup, we look forward to creating innovative and broadly impactful solutions for years to come.

So on behalf of Pangea Foundation, let me extend my gratitude to Microsoft and TechSoup for this incredible award.

And thanks to every one of you who voted for our story.

June 4th, 2009 by Kraig Kuipers

In a recent post, I talked about how Pangea Foundation teamed up with 211 San Diego to create ReliefPoint™, an innovative disaster relief software solution that we hope will continue to be adopted by disaster services organizations across America.

I also mentioned that we recently submitted the story of how ReliefPoint came to be in the Microsoft Impact Story Contest.

Now, I’d like to ask for your help.

With open community voting ending on June 5th, I’m asking everyone who hasn’t already done so to vote for our project. Please click “In a World Plagued by Disasters… Finally There’s Help” and follow the voting instructions at the top of the page.

Join us in our efforts to equip America’s disaster services organizations with the practical technologies they need to meet the demands of the next disaster—before it happens. 

Thanks everyone!

Pangea Foundation Named Finalist in 2009 American Business Awards

May 20th, 2009 by Kraig Kuipers

We just got some incredible news here at Pangea Foundation and I wanted to share it with you.  

[INSERT BRAGGING ALERT]

As a small fish in what you could call a pretty big pond, I’m pleased to say that Pangea Foundation was named a Finalist in the “Most Innovative Company of the Year” category in The 2009 American Business Awards.

The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. The American Business "Stevie" Awards—hailed as “the business world’s own Oscars” (New York Post, April 27, 2005)—were created to honor and generate public recognition of the achievements and positive contributions of organizations and business people worldwide. The Stevie has become one of the world's most coveted awards.

More than 2,600 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories.

Pangea Foundation was recognized for its passionate commitment to bringing the enterprise-class software driving the innovation of today’s multi-billion dollar corporations to America’s impact-driven nonprofit organizations.

As a nonprofit software-as-a-service provider, I guess you could say that we’ve been a different kind of technology company from the start. But to be recognized today on a national stage by “the business world’s own Oscars” is a remarkable honor. It’s an honor that the men and women of Pangea Foundation should be especially proud of, and I am very proud of each of them for building this company into what it is today.

Stevie Award winners will be announced during the annual gala on Monday, June 22 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. The ceremonies will be broadcast on radio nationwide by the Business TalkRadio Network and hosted by Cheryl Casone of Fox Business Network.

So if you’re curious, tune in to the Business TalkRadio Network and see if we win.
