Funds in General

More Americans died of gun-related injuries in 2020 than in any other year on record, according to recently published statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That included a record number of gun murders, as well as a near-record number of gun suicides. Despite the increase in such fatalities, the rate of gun deaths – a statistic that accounts for the nation’s growing population – remains below the levels of earlier years.This fund was created to use a public health and equity lens to identify and implement evidence-based policy solutions and programs to reduce gun violence in all its forms. We seek to make gun violence rare and abnormal.We achieve this by engaging in policy development, advocacy, community and stakeholder engagement, and technical assistance.

Giving back is a core value of Cisco’s culture and as part of the CSM + Meraki Marketing | 2022 Season of Giving Campaign it’s time for us all to take a pause and think about how we want to contribute to causes that are close to our heart. And there are many ways for us to give whether it’s time or though monetary means. Some may feel stretched thin and are unable to volunteer time so we encourage you to consider tapping into Cisco Bright Funds donation program. We’ve put together this team Bright Funds site to make donating a little easier. If this fund isn’t resonating then we encourage you to find a non-profit that supports what matters most to you.

EmpowHER was created with one goal in mind: to empower women (and girls). Because of that, we created a fund compiled of organizations that put women at the forefront of their missions and work to fuel societal change for the better. Each organization is dedicated to energizing girls and women to embrace their unique individuality, foster strength of character, and support one another to create a new generation of empowered women through a variety of programs. Although the charities have different approaches to their work – some use legal frameworks to tackle gender inequality, others use socio-economic frameworks – their goals remain the same: to empower women by providing adequate tools, resources, and support so they can grow and positively impact their communities. Empowering women and girls create opportunities that last for generations. “There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish." Michelle Obama The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.
