MacPawCares

A place where good deeds never end

#MacPawCares is our way of giving back to the community. This is the embodiment of our corporate values, which develop social responsibility and inspire others to create new public initiatives.

Since its launch in 2018, we have helped to shape a better world in many ways: from boosting Ukraine’s sustainability effort, helping people in need, and saving animals to fostering local tech talent, promoting diversity.

8 areas. Dozens of projects for each one. Everyone at MacPaw can start an original initiative or propose a project in the area of their choice.

Stand up for Ukraine

In 2016, MacPaw established a charity arm — MacPaw Foundation. Over the next few years, it will launch and support the company's social projects.

On February 24, 2022, russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since then, the enemy has been shelling and bombing our cities with missiles, killing civilians every single day. We have shifted our focus since then to help protect our homeland and save the people of Ukraine from an illegal war of extermination.
Since then MacPaw Foundation shifted focus onto:
  • Providing our defenders of Ukraine with non-lethal help: technical equipment, protective gear, tactical medicine
  • Supporting our mobilized employees and their families
  • Donating to Ukrainian volunteers saving people’s lives
