A Qlik®, a global leader in data integration, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), announced the launch of Qlik Cares, a revamped and expanded program aimed at transforming how the company supports nonprofit organizations. While Qlik has provided data and over $40 million in analytics support to hundreds of purpose-driven organizations for more than 15 years, Qlik Cares represents a deeper, more collaborative model—mobilizing technology, expertise, and people across the Qlik ecosystem to deliver measurable and scalable outcomes.
“For Direct Relief, data is not just the lifeblood of our humanitarian logistics systems but also a form of essential aid,” shares Andrew Schroeder, Vice President of Research and Analysis at Direct Relief. “Qlik is our partner in daily analytics to address the medical needs of communities worldwide, as well as a close collaborator in efforts to advance the use of new data sources, machine learning, and AI for public benefit in times of crisis. They are a fundamental part of how we fulfill our mission.”
Through Qlik Cares, eligible organizations will gain discounted access to Qlik’s full portfolio—including data integration, analytics, and AI—along with pro bono support from Qlik employees, partners, university students, and customers for projects. Qlik Cares will continue to focus on the pillars of climate action, global health and equity, humanitarian aid, and education. The program will keep supporting organizations in making smarter, faster, and data-driven decisions where it matters most.
“In this time of global need, we are proud to enhance our program, Qlik Cares, to mobilize resources from multiple angles—our platform, our people, and our ecosystem—to accelerate the missions of those tackling society’s greatest challenges,” says Julie Kae, Vice President of Sustainability and Executive Director of Qlik.org. “Solutions require access to data, technology, and a deep understanding of how to prioritize and set actionable goals. This is expertise that only Qlik and our ecosystem of talented, experienced partners specialized in data-driven solutions can provide.”
What’s New with Qlik Cares Includes:
– Expanded Access: Global nonprofit organizations can now apply for discounted access to Qlik’s full suite of tools—from AutoML and data integration to analytics and generative AI.
– Pro Bono Engagement: Projects will range from one-hour training sessions to multi-month initiatives—such as app development, ETL build-outs, and AI readiness workshops—delivered by Qlik contributors and certified partners.
– Connection Portal: A centralized Qlik Cares portal, launching later this year, will connect organizations with available Qlik experts, including university students, and resources for high-impact data projects.
– Outcome-Focused Hackathons: Qlik is expanding its support for hackathons, ensuring solutions move from demo to implementation—providing support for critical real-world use cases.
“Access to clean, actionable data is essential for delivering aid quickly and effectively in crisis zones, but this is not something most humanitarian organizations can do alone,” says Heidi Cockram, CIO of Medair. “Qlik’s support, both in technology and hands-on expertise, has helped us accelerate how we manage information in the field. This is a true partnership, built on trust, agility, and a shared commitment to saving lives.”
“In humanitarian operations, timely and informed decision-making is vital, and access to reliable data should never be a barrier when lives are at stake,” says Taco van het Reve, Managing Director of cimt. “As a long-standing Qlik partner, cimt is proud to support the humanitarian organization Medair.”
Qlik Cares is a company-wide initiative embedded across all functions and products. Volunteers from various departments are already signing up to contribute their time and talent, and partners are stepping up to offer full-scale services. From AI expertise to ETL consulting, the program will leverage every point in Qlik’s ecosystem to meet organizations where they are—and take them where they need to go with data.
To learn more about how to get involved, nonprofit organizations seeking support or Qlik partners ready to contribute can visit qlik.org. The Qlik Cares Portal will launch soon, expanding opportunities for connection, contribution, and collective impact. Qlik believes data is the world’s most powerful resource and, as such, should serve those who need it most.
