Our story begins with our experience working at Elemental Technologies.

Community engagement was important to the team from an early stage, from leadership to employees – so we started getting involved with local nonprofits through volunteering together.

What started with a few ad hoc activities grew into ongoing relationships with 30+ local nonprofits – it turned into a program. A program that became a central piece of the culture and the employee experience.

The Elemental Community Investment Program didn’t just get employees out volunteering together. It engaged us, as people, in our community, created bonds within and across teams, and inspired new passions and creative ways of thinking.

The program was successful, but far from easy to operate. It took significant time and effort to figure out what was out there – let alone establish the connections, coordinate the events, and track the impact over time.
‍
All this was done with a mix of scheduling software, emails, and spreadsheets. 

And that’s why we started building Field Day in 2021: to remove barriers to getting started, to save time for those already running a program while simultaneously enabling it to scale their operations. All while prioritizing the nonprofit's experience when it comes to working with companies. Field Day is a single platform that brings together key elements of community engagement: discovery of activities, operations, tracking and reporting, and story-sharing.

Field Day (de)paves the way for you and your team to turn good intentions into action, leading to measurable impact.
