Happy New Year!
I’d like to kick off the year by giving a special shout out to the research participants in 2008 who chose to donate their honorarium to a charity. Dimensional Research gives all research participants the opportunity to direct their stipend (typically $50-$250, depending on the project) to a charity of their choice.
2008 was a great year for philanthropy among the IT professionals we had the pleasure to work with. From the big charities we all know, to the operations manager who just said “I like dogs, you pick”, here are a few of the organizations that we had the pleasure of learning about through our participants in 2008:
- St. Jude Chidren’s Research Hospital
- American Cancer Society
- Autism Society of America
- Boys & Girls Club of America
- United Way
- American Heart Association
- Capital Area Humane Society
- Camp Smile-a-Mile
- National Resources Defence Council
- Open Voting Consortium
- UNICEF
- Sunnyvale Community Services
- Heifer International
- UK Dogs Trust
