Local Texas IT Tech Leader Mender Announces 2024 Donations
Here is a program that we’d like to see all of Texas’ technology companies get behind: Giving back to the region’s conservation, wildlife and other charitable organizations.
Mender, an IT asset disposition (ITAD) company that extends the life of IT assets through recycling and resale and has the further distinction of being a circular economy company, has announced its slate of selected wildlife and conservation organizations for its donation program.
The donations honor Mender's pledge to commit a portion of profits to land and wildlife conservation efforts in Texas and across the region and the donations reflect Mender’s selections for 2024.
"These gifts represent our dedication to supporting organizations and projects that restore or maintain our natural habitats," said Mender Co-Founder and CEO Kent Taggart. "As a circular economy business, we believe it's important for Mender to give back to the environment that we've benefited so much from."
A key beneficiary of Mender's charitable giving pledge is the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation (TPWF). The donation will support its mission of ensuring the public can enjoy Texas's wild things and wild places, both now and in the future.
"We are honored that Mender has partnered with us to help fund these vital initiatives," said Anne Brown, the executive director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation. "Mender's continuous dedication to conservation in Texas will go a long way toward ensuring countless future chapters for our Texas wild."
Mender's 2024 donation initiative benefits four Texas conservation initiatives in total: TPWF's Pollinators and Prairies, desert bighorn sheep restoration, and Stewards of the Wild programs; the Gulf Trust's "Trash Free Gulf" project, of which TPWF is a fiduciary sponsor; plus an additional donation to the Oklahoma Parks and Wildlife Foundation.
Mender also donates and supports through volunteering to Tackle Tomorrow, an organization devoted to improving childhood literacy rates among students in underserved communities throughout Dallas.
