ID has a deep corporate and personal commitment to community and giving back. The primary focus of ID’s corporate philanthropic efforts are nonprofit organizations valued by our employees. ID employees have several causes close to their heart.
ID strongly encourages and promotes community giving by employees. Many of our employees are intimately involved in causes important to them, from helping the homeless to working with animals. ID matches employee donations and investments of their time to organizations they support, and we’re proud to have supported a long list of organizations over the years, including organizations that fight hunger, working to find a cure for cancer, providing educational opportunities to youth, and much more.

ID was a proud sponsor of “Climbing Blind: Tibet Expedition”. Climbing Blind was created by Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind person to summit Mt. Everest. On the expedition, he led a group of blind Tibetan teenagers to the summit of a 23,100 foot peak on the north side of Mt. Everest. Climbing Blind, a non-profit organization, was created to overcome the misconceptions of the blind and to not place limitations on people with disabilities. Integro sponsored the expedition by developing 2 critical technology components – an interactive website and an easy-to-use web content management tool. The web site, had interactive elements to highlight each aspect of the expedition including an online forum for communication between the climbers and those who joined the online community.
April is World Autism Month, dedicated to increasing awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder. ID always loves the opportunity to bring light to a wonderful cause, which is why we created our team challenge, Steps for Autism. Department-based teams face off to get the most steps in the month of April. Walks around our neighborhoods, our weekly grocery store trip, an evening jog – every step counts! The team with the most steps will win bragging rights and Innovative Driven will donate on their behalf to Autism Society.
