Organizations We Support

Verkada believes that giving back to society is a reflection of our values and heart for both the world and its people. That’s why we are committed to social good and continuously look for ways to engage with and support notable causes we believe in.

Set Free Monterey Bay is an organization that assists adult women 18+ who are sex trafficking survivors. In 2021, Verkada hosted founder Ashley Chesney for a powerful first-hand recounting of her story. In addition to the in-person event, Verkada made meaningful donations that helped make up 10% of the organization's funds in 2021.

Our Programs

Staying true to our mission of protecting people, assets privacy, we're donating up to $100,000 in security cameras and software licences to AAPI affiliated organizations seeking enhanced protection.

The first 20 cameras were donated to the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce after president Carl Chan was publicly assaulted in Oakland in 2021. The program has since expanded to cover AAPI communities and organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area and Chicago.

"Violence and prejudice have absolutely no place in our lives. The Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce is a vital voice in our community, and we will not be intimidated or cower in the face of this unacceptable discrimination. We are grateful to Verkada for stepping up and assisting the Chamber in doing all that we can to protect ourselves as we all work hard to thrive together in our diverse city."

- Carl Chan, President, Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce
