This school year, DonorsChoose.org will deliver more than $100 million in classroom supplies, field trips, and resources to high-poverty classrooms across the country. When DonorsChoose.org relocated its New York headquarters in 2013 and its San Francisco office in 2016, the organization called on Eight Inc. to design work spaces that would help it fulfill its mission. Take a tour of the DonorsChoose.org New York headquarters (with a virtual peek inside its new San Francisco location!) and then gather for a talk with leaders from both the NYC and SF teams of DonorsChoose.org and Eight Inc. to discuss the evolving mission-driven workplace. Discover how the workplace can create camaraderie among the teams, develop culture in the environment, and encourage experiences resulting in success and growth of businesses and how they operate.
