    SarkissianMason Donating $100k to Combat Human Trafficking

    Sunday, 18 December 2011


    Digital innovation agency SarkissianMason announced today that it
    would engineer a mobile solution for an anti-human trafficking
    organization in need of a technological innovation in its first
    Technology for Change Grant. The agency will be donating up to
    $100,000 of time and resources to work hand-in-hand with a
    not-for-profit partner working in the field of anti-human trafficking.

    CEO Patrick Sarkissian explained the agency's idea, "We must help.
    NGOs can give us their knowledge and insights, then we can apply our
    method of innovation and help make a difference with an issue that
    preys upon people throughout the world, including an alarming amount
    in the US."

    Starting December 5th, the agency will begin accepting applications
    from registered US-based 501c(3) organizations. The organization
    should be involved in providing direct services, reporting, education
    and/or advocacy around anti-human trafficking and have a vision for
    utilizing technology to increase their reach and impact.

    SarkissianMason will work closely with the nonprofit partner to
    concept and build a mobile technology solution and adoption strategy.
    Specific examples of deliverables could include: SMS-based awareness
    campaigns and fundraising, customized mobile application development
    for locally relevant content and services, or mobile-based data
    collection services for reporting and tracking.

    Innovation is nothing new to SarkissianMason, which has traditionally
    invested 25% of company time in developing its own intellectual
    property. "We are really excited to showcase a technology innovation
    in the social change space, and to ultimately add the creation into
    our intellectual property portfolio," Sarkissian adds, "social
    innovation isn't just about creating positive social impact, but it's
    also about integrating technology solutions into services and
    connecting a number of stakeholders around social problems."

    The deadline for 2012 grant applications is Tuesday, January 31st, 2012.
