Charitable Network
Being Part of − and Giving Back to − The Communities Where We Live and Work is One of Vertical Bridge’s Core Values.
The Vertical Bridge Charitable Network has enabled our team to support hundreds of organizations globally that our employees, partners, and clients care about through hands-on giving and monetary resources.
The Vertical Bridge Charitable Network is an employee-led effort in which a committee identifies opportunities for Vertical Bridge to donate time and/or money to meaningful causes. Our support ranges from financial sponsorships to providing every Vertical Bridge employee with paid time off to volunteer. This allows them to give back to their communities and causes important to them, from participating in team-building exercises to company-wide days of charitable activities and support.
We have steadily increased our charitable giving each year, and in 2022, Vertical Bridge donated over $2 million to more than 145 causes chosen by our employees. Since our inception, we have given more than $9.5 million and contributed over 5,000 volunteer hours to 501(c)(3) organizations selected by our employees.
Boca Helping Hands
Located in the heart of Boca Raton, FL, Boca Helping Hands provides food, medical and financial assistance to residents in our local community. Vertical Bridge employees volunteer here regularly, stocking their food pantry and serving meals to local residents. We also participate in its annual “Cereal Drive” to help combat students’ food insecurity during the summer months and its yearly “Thanksgiving Box Brigade” which provides families in need with a turkey, traditional sides and desserts.

Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County helps families build and improve places to call home across South Florida. Vertical Bridge Charitable Network has partnered with this organization since our founding and participates in several build days each year, including “Rock the Block” and “Women Build”. We are also the title sponsor each year of “Veterans Build”, which creates and improves homes for local veterans.
