Ecosystem
Vivint Gives Back – a 501 c 3 non-profit organization – organizes annual trips involving Vivint employees to carry out humanitarian aid through their own donations and donations of Vivint. Each year hundreds of Vivint employees dedicate their time, money, and labor to help local and international communities.
Through these efforts Vivint Gives Back has helped build homes, provide access to clean water, and served their local communities. These efforts have helped to improve the quality of life for thousands of people all around the world.
In October, 2024, Vivint employees traveled to Mexico to build homes and support the local community in Guadalajara. The project involved 621 individuals. 519 of the volunteers were Vivint employees from across the country. The rest were members of Vivint’s Mexican-based partner charity organization, TECHO Mexico, that helped coordinate the project and assisted with the language translation among volunteers, construction experts, and recipient families.
Together, they built 52 homes, 52 water systems, and directly impacted 52 families. Over 321 individuals were helped by the Vivint team. The willingness of these employees to serve others resulted in a combined 17,730 volunteer hours.
Since the program began in 2008, Vivint Gives Back has been able to serve more than 400,000 people, with the help of 64,000 volunteers who have collectively donated nearly 300,000 hours. Planning at least a year in advance for new global impact trips, the program has built homes in Cambodia, Costa Rica, Ghana, Mexico, Nepal, Peru, South Africa, Thailand, and Romania.
Vivint Gives Back alway partners with local partners that have key relationships in place and demonstrates local know how and logistics. Together with the partner organizations, Vivint Gives Back has raised over $30 million, has built hundreds of homes, community centers, and has taken care of a basic human need – shelter – for thousands of people in need.
