Internal and External Charitable Efforts
AvePoint’s philanthropy efforts reflect the company’s core values of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), with a focus on using technology to drive social impact. Recognizing the tech industry’s challenges with underrepresentation, especially for women and people of color, AvePoint supports groups like Girls Who Code to break stereotypes about women in technology. AvePoint also fosters change within the organization through employee resource groups like AvePoint Veterans, Black AvePoint Excellence, Women in Technology (WIT), Latinx and Queers and Allies (Q&A), all aimed at fostering inclusivity and providing a supportive environment.
Community engagement is integral to AvePoint’s mission, with events designed to blend philanthropy and collaboration. For instance, Black AvePoint Excellence (BAE) hosts an annual gala for partners and customers, typically held around Juneteenth. Likewise, during Pride Month, AvePoint’s Queers and Allies group invited a guest speaker to discuss the significance of Pride Month and what the organization could do to be more inclusive and equitable both internally and externally. These events reflect AvePoint’s culture of integrating ongoing education and fostering empathy, so employees can better serve their communities, extending positive change outward.
Beyond internal efforts, AvePoint’s philanthropic events align with Public Sector initiatives by giving back to communities through local charities where events are held. These collaborations not only contribute to community needs but also highlight AvePoint’s commitment to giving back in meaningful, locally impactful ways.

A Culture of Support and Service
AvePoint’s philanthropic efforts are deeply influenced by CEO, Dr. Tianyi Jiang, who has prioritized giving back to the technology community throughout the company’s 23-year history.

Leadership’s passion for community impact inspires employees at all levels to pursue organized and independent philanthropic efforts, always met with AvePoint’s encouragement and resources.
