In celebration of our 10-year anniversary, fusionSpan is proud to announce that we have joined the Pledge 1% initiative, as well as two other initiatives globally, to give back to the communities that have gotten us where we are today.

“Our employees, our customers, and our communities believed in us when we started this venture 10 years ago. We are thrilled to honor those who have made us who are today by pledging to the nonprofit community as well as the local communities where our teams live and work.”

fusionSpan is committed to creating a world where careers in technology are accessible to anyone without regard to geography, gender, ethnicity, or financial status. One way we are doing this is through a fusionSpan scholarship fund set up to support minority women pursuing a STEM degree at Montgomery College. Montgomery College is right in the backyard of our Rockville headquarters, and welcomes students from over 150 countries. We are aligning our values of minority women, STEM education, and local contribution with our scholarship fund of $25,000 over five years.
