Donations \u2013 comprising $6,046 in employee contributions and a $6,046 corporate gift match \u2013 will support efforts to deliver critical aid to people impacted by the Syria-Turkey earthquakes.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In the early hours of Feb. 6, 2023, the lives of millions of people in Syria and Turkey were changed forever as a historic and catastrophic earthquake ravaged the region. The impact of this event (and subsequent related events) killed over 50,000 people and devastated communities \u2013 many that have already faced, and continue to face, significant hardships due to other ongoing humanitarian crises. As a company with team members working in (or near) 20 office locations globally, many of our employees have close ties to Syria and Turkey \u2013 and surrounding areas \u2013 and we felt a collective obligation to help. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the spirit of our company\u2019s ongoing commitment to making a positive impact on our communities and our <\/span>#DoGreatThings<\/span><\/a> value, we came together to launch a corporate gift-matching program to deliver much-needed financial aid to nonprofits supporting earthquake relief efforts in Syria and Turkey. We\u2019re humbled and grateful to report Urban Scientists around the world donated to 22 charities supporting this important cause, raising a total of $6,046 in employee contributions that were matched by our organization with a corporate donation to The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to support its earthquake relief efforts in Syria and Turkey. \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Urban Science team members donated to the following nonprofits during the course of our gift-matching program:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
