ABOUT US | MISSION

Credera Community Impact

Credera Community Impact (CCI) is Credera’s philanthropic arm focused on positively impacting the communities we serve. CCI provides opportunities to make a collective difference by leaving our desks and spending time in community service across each of our markets.

The mission of CCI is to make a difference in the lives of people who are circumstantially blocked from reaching their full potential, specifically in STEM education and awareness. We work with people of all ages and backgrounds, but primarily with students and nonprofits promoting education and STEM to diverse groups of people.

Why It Matters

Creating lasting impact.

At Credera, we exist not only to be a viable business that does great work for our clients, but to also create a better way of life for those in the communities we serve. Here’s why we’re passionate about community impact:

Fulfills our mission

Credera’s mission is to make an extraordinary impact on our clients, our people, and our communities. One vital way we fulfill that mission is through CCI. During 2023, we hosted 40 CCI events with more than 30 nonprofit partners and contributed 1,855 volunteer hours across all our markets.

Brings deeper significance

While the work we do for clients is important and meaningful, it's not enough for that to be our only focus as a firm. Serving our communities and making a difference in the lives of people who are circumstantially blocked from reaching their full potential provides a deeper and longer lasting purpose.

Creates lasting change

We focus our impacts on key United Nations Sustainable Development goals, meaning the work we do is making a direct impact on bigger-picture goals across the globe. We also seek to partner with organizations that track and measure their impact so we can directly see the broader story we are contributing to.

Building strong connections.

Our Partnerships

Building strong connections.

Engaging with nonprofits that are aligned with our CCI mission is a year-round initiative. We volunteer, fundraise, and deliver pro-bono projects. In addition to year-round volunteer work and community investment, CCI sponsors three signature events each year: Nonprofit Consulting Leadership Program (NCLP), the summer intern service event, and our annual company-wide Service Day.

OUR STRATEGY

Our desired impact.

As part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nation Member States in 2015, Credera has identified several sub-targets across three of the Sustainable Development Goals to focus on.

Quality education

Increase the number of people with relevant skills for financial success (Target 4.4)

Gender equality

Promote empowerment of women through technology (Target 5.8)

Decent work & economic growth

Promote youth employment, education, and training (Target 8.6)

Our Impact

Our Nonprofit Consulting Leadership Program.

Our pro bono consulting program has grown into a nationwide initiative that we now refer to as the Nonprofit Consulting Leadership Program (NCLP). The NCLP provides an opportunity to build deeper relationships with several of our nonprofit partners and allows junior Credera practitioners the chance to scope and deliver short-term, end-to-end client engagements.

Through these projects, we aim to amplify our partners' abilities to reach organizational and community goals and solve problems they may otherwise lack the internal or financial resources to do.

Editorial

Our progress in reflection.

"Credera’s company mission is to make an extraordinary impact on our clients, our people, and our communities. CCI is how we operationalize the last portion of our mission statement by intentionally focusing our collective efforts toward a common purpose that aligns with the work we do here at Credera.

By helping those who are circumstantially blocked from STEM access, we make a measurable impact on our local communities while living out our core values together. I am so proud of our CCI initiative and the collective impact we’ve made!”
