Expanded Social Impact Program Helps Nonprofits and Social Enterprises of Any Size Accelerate Their Missions
SuiteConnect West—San Francisco—October 25, 2018—Oracle NetSuite today announced it has extended its commitment to helping global nonprofits and social enterprises. The new investments, which include enriched product donation, pro bono expansion and community building opportunities, expand the NetSuite Social Impact program and are designed to help nonprofits and social enterprises of all sizes quickly and easily take advantage of the latest cloud technologies to make the world a better place.
“The NetSuite Social Impact program has helped thousands of nonprofits and social enterprises in the last 12 years, but this is just the beginning and there is so much more we can do,” said Evan Goldberg, executive vice president of development, Oracle NetSuite. “The NetSuite team is excited to see what we can achieve together. The new investments will help nonprofits of any size spend more of their time and resources on changing the world.”

Since 2006, the NetSuite Social Impact program has helped more than 1,300 nonprofits streamline business processes and focus time and resources on their core mission. The increased investment in the NetSuite Social Impact program is focused on three core areas:
