To celebrate the holiday season each year, we give back to those who spend the entire year giving back in their own communities. We go looking for data professionals who make a difference, and we try to make a difference in their lives too.

This year, we’re proud to announce a new round of winners. We can’t mention ’em all, but here are just a handful of groups that we’re proud to help:

The American Institute of Physics is committed to the preservation of physics for future generations, the success of physics students both in the classroom and professionally, and the promotion of a more scientifically literate society.

South Community, Inc. provides Ohioans with mental health care, substance counseling, psychiatric support, and much more.

UNOPS helps people build better lives and countries achieve peace and sustainable development. Yes, they’re using data, like how they’re considering artificial intelligence.

The Africa Health Research Institute works with over 60 academic and clinical institutions for the elimination of HIB and TB.

The Smith Family is an Australian charity helping disadvantaged children get the most out of their education so they can create better futures for themselves.

Easter Seals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain serves children and adults with autism and other disabilities, plus disadvantaged families in Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming.

This season, take a few moments to think about how lucky you are, and how you can reach out to those around you to help them move forward, too.

Happy holidays.
