At Glific, we are incredibly grateful to the Cisco Foundation for their unwavering support and dedication to creating lasting impact. Their partnership has been instrumental in empowering NGOs to leverage technology for meaningful change in education, skilling, and allied sectors.

Cisco’s Legacy: 40 Years of Impact

This year, Cisco marks an incredible milestone—40 years of innovation and impact. Over the decades, Cisco has set an example of what purpose-driven leadership can achieve. Their FY24 Purpose Report highlights remarkable achievements, including:

  • $556 million contributed in cash and in-kind donations this year.
  • Over one billion lives positively impacted, showcasing their NGO partners in the BBC StoryWorks series, “The Human Component.”
  • The release of their first-ever Cisco Foundation Impact Report, which provides a detailed view of their transformative initiatives.

In celebration of their 40th anniversary, Cisco has also launched the 40 Communities Initiative, a bold commitment to engage, support, and invest in 40 communities worldwide over the next decade.

Thanks to Cisco Foundation’s belief in our vision, Glific has been able to push boundaries and redefine how NGOs interact with their beneficiaries.

  1. Building Communities of Practice
    Cisco’s support has allowed us to make in-person NGO meet-ups a vital part of our work. These gatherings foster collaboration, enabling NGOs to share ideas, learn new skills, and grow as a community of technology practitioners.
  2. AI-Powered Advancements
    With Cisco’s backing, Glific has integrated cutting-edge AI-enabled enhancements into our platform, breaking barriers for NGOs to experiment and scale innovative programs. These advancements have:
    • Empowered NGOs in education, enabling interactive and scalable learning tools.
    • Helped organizations implement life-changing initiatives quickly and efficiently.
  3. Supporting SDG-Critical Work
    Glific, with Cisco Foundation’s partnership, supports a broad cohort of NGOs working towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
    • Education: Transforming teaching and learning experiences.
    • Skilling: Enhancing workforce readiness with scalable solutions.
    • Community Empowerment: Amplifying access to critical services for underserved populations.

Gratitude and Looking Forward

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Kyle Thornton, Meggan Hoctor, and the Cisco Foundation for their continued trust and support. Your dedication inspires us to innovate and create impactful solutions that empower changemakers.
