Not-for-profits to use technology to address community challenges
SYDNEY | MUMBAI, August 21, 2017: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, today announced it will provide free IT and technology expertise to 12 not-for-profit organisations in Australia.
The annual TCS Community Innovation Program delivers in-kind TCS services valued collectively at more than $1 million (AUD), in areas such as application and website development, IT consulting and technology optimization.
Among the recipients are medical charities and social enterprises, including four organisations that aim to improve the wellbeing of indigenous Australians: Robert de Castella’s Indigenous Marathon Foundation; the Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives; First Australians Capital; and the Kaiela Institute.
Announcing the grants, Anil Snehi, Vice President of TCS Australia and NZ, said: “Technology can play an enormous role in helping to address health, social, and environmental challenges. Enabling not-for-profits to leverage our global IT expertise will make a tangible and measurable difference to these organisations, their clients and the Australian community.”
The TCS Community Innovation Program in Australia draws inspiration from the company’s philanthropic activities in India, where it is headquartered. TCS’s parent company is majority owned by charitable trusts.
In 2016, six Australian not-for-profits collectively shared free IT and technology support from TCS: the Australian Indigenous Leadership Centre, Cystic Fibrosis New South Wales, HeartKids Australia, Hunter Medical Research Institute, the Penguin Foundation, and the Royal Hospital for Women’s Foundation.
Karen Iles, Tata’s Head of Corporate Social Responsibility for Australia and New Zealand, said: “TCS’s corporate social responsibility programs are about empowering individuals and communities to create positive social and environmental impact. We are thrilled to be putting our IT expertise to work to help these outstanding organisations create a positive impact.”
