A Qlik®, global company 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 non-profit organizations. While Qlik has provided data and over $40 million in analytics support to hundreds of social purpose organizations for over 15 years, Qlik Cares represents a deeper and more collaborative model – mobilizing technology, expertise, and people throughout the Qlik ecosystem to deliver measurable and scalable results.
“For Direct Relief, data isn’t just the lifeblood of our humanitarian logistics systems, but also an essential form of aid,” shares Andrew Schroeder, Vice President of Research and Analysis at Direct Relief. “Qlik is our partner in daily analysis to meet the medical needs of communities around the world, 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 key part of how we fulfill our mission.”
With Qlik Cares, eligible organizations will have discounted access to the complete Qlik portfolio – including data integration, analytics, and AI – as well as pro bono support from Qlik employees, partners, university students, and customers on projects. Qlik Cares will continue to focus on global climate action, health and equity, humanitarian aid, and education. The program will continue to support organizations in making smarter, faster, data-driven decisions where it matters most.
“At this moment of global need, we are proud to enhance our program, Qlik Cares, to mobilize resources from various angles — our platform, our people, and our ecosystem — to accelerate the missions of those addressing society’s greatest challenges,” says Julie Kae, Vice President of Sustainability and Executive Director of Qlik.org. “Solutions need access to data, technology, and a deep understanding of how to define actionable priorities and goals. This is knowledge that only Qlik and our ecosystem of talented and experienced partners, specializing in data-driven solutions, can provide.”
The Qlik Cares updates include:
– Expanded access: Global nonprofits can now apply for discounted access to the full suite of Qlik 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 building, and AI readiness workshops — conducted by Qlik employees and certified partners.
– Connection Portal: A centralized Qlik Cares portal, to be launched by the end of this year, will connect organizations with available Qlik experts, including university students, and resources for high-impact data projects.
– Results-focused hackathons: Qlik is expanding its support for hackathons, ensuring solutions move from demonstration to implementation — providing assistance for critical real-world use cases.
“Access to clean and useful data is essential for providing help quickly and effectively in crisis areas, but this is not something most humanitarian organizations can do alone,” says Heidi Cockram, CIO of Medair. “Qlik’s support, both in technology and practical expertise, has helped us speed up how we manage information in the field. This is a genuine partnership based 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 risk,” says Taco van het Reve, CEO of cimt. “As a long-standing partner of Qlik, cimt is proud to support the humanitarian organization Medair.”
Qlik Cares is an initiative that engages the entire company, embedded in 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 services. From AI expertise to ETL consulting, the program will leverage all points of the Qlik ecosystem to meet organizations where they are and take them where they need to go with data.
To learn more about how to participate, non-profit organizations seeking support, or a Qlik partner ready to contribute can visit qlik.org. The Qlik Cares Portal will be launched soon, expanding opportunities for connection, contribution, and collective impact. Qlik believes data is the world’s most powerful resource and therefore should serve those who need it most.
