Vernier Philanthropy

In partnership with Schoolhouse Supplies, Vernier and its employees donated back-to-school backpacks to over 400 children in our local community. Vernier planted trees along the banks of a local stream, participated in the local public broadcasting pledge drive, matched contributions from our employees to several local school districts and non-profit organizations, and supported the relief efforts from Hurricane Katrina.

Vernier Software & Technology encourages our employees to support charitable organizations both locally and nationwide. Each year Vernier matches $1000 per employee for a variety of programs.

Full time employees are encouraged to volunteer for non-profit organizations of their choice on company time and receive 4 hours of pay each month for their volunteer time. Vernier employees regularly volunteer at schools—teaching children to read, teaching art literacy, and helping with field trips and other school functions.

They also volunteer for organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Oregon Museum of Science & Industry, Portland State University, Red Cross, LEGO Robotic Tournaments, Meals-on-Wheels, and many other organizations.

Vernier was proud to receive the award for “Outstanding Philanthropic Corporation” from the Oregon chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
