Cloudera

    • Why we were created

    We were born out of the commitment of Cloudera Inc., a software company headquartered in Silicon Valley with offices in 30 countries, to empower more nonprofits to use data as a tool to achieve impact. When the company became publicly traded, management chose to mirror Pledge 1%’s model by donating 1 percent of the company’s equity, profit, product, and employee time to their communities.
