HSITAG Gives Back Through Charitable

Part of the mission driving the Human Services Information Technology Advisory Group (HSITAG) is to give back to those organizations focused on helping others. Every year, as part of CompTIA’s overall charitable giving, HSITAG is provided $10,000 to fund a charity of its choosing. So, we established our Charitable Giving Committee to research and identify nonprofit organizations that could benefit from these financial donations.

How it Works: The Charitable Giving Committee kicks off the year by brainstorming a list of nonprofit candidates to potentially receive our allotted donation. We look for 501(c)(3) organizations that are aligned to health and human services and, if possible, technology. Committee members investigate and present candidate organizations, and the committee discusses their missions and how they benefit their specific communities. In previous years, we have been thrilled to donate to Foster Care to Success (https://www.fc2success.org/), Girls Who Code (https://girlswhocode.com/), and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (http://www.missingkids.com/).

Our Selected 2019 Charities: This year, we have opted to split the $10,000 between two charities: Once again, we will donate $5,000 to National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and we’ve selected the Fisher House Foundation (https://www.fisherhouse.org/) for another $5,000. Fisher House Foundation supports veteran and military families who are facing critical illnesses. What a great way to thank these families for their service!
