Indigo IT Celebrates 2020 Giving Initiative

Indigo IT has proudly held an annual tradition of sponsoring a company-wide giving initiative during the holiday season, where employees are encouraged to donate to either of two selected nonprofit organizations, which the company then matches. This year, Indigo IT selected two nonprofit organizations to support: LINK Against Hunger (LINK) and Willing Warriors. Both of these charities are local to Northern Virginia; LINK being in Sterling, Virginia, and Willing Warriors in Haymarket, Virginia.

While this initiative is long-standing at Indigo IT, this year was especially significant to executive leadership in light of COVID-19. “This past year, while we always find joy in sponsoring our annual Giving Initiative, we felt a different tone when selecting this year’s supported nonprofit organizations,” said Denise Garcia Van Wyngaardt, CEO of Indigo IT. “We have so many communities and so many families who have been hit extremely hard by the continued effects of the pandemic, and we wanted to be sure that the donations our team members kindly contribute would help where it is needed most. We are continually moved every year by the generosity of our employees, and our Holiday Giving Initiative is one of the top highlights of our year.”

Indigo IT and its employees contributed a grand total of $7,520 this year to LINK and Willing Warriors.
