Percepta Donates 140+ Computers

Nonprofit organizations throughout Brevard County picked up more than 140 computers donated by Percepta at its facility in Melbourne on March 10 and  March 11.  The Community Foundation for Brevard teamed with LEAD Brevard to coordinate the outreach and distribution of Percepta’s community gift.

Percepta donated more than 140 computers to organizations serving children, youth, families, veterans and seniors as part of its community outreach efforts. In partnership the Community Foundation for Brevard and LEAD Brevard, Percepta is able to efficiently reach out and benefit a large number of organizations throughout Brevard County.  Many of the organizations benefiting from the donation are participating in Service Leadership Brevard, an effort coordinated by LEAD Brevard to build the capacity of nonprofits to address economic recovery on the Space Coast.  The computers will help the organizations expand services, manage databases, and train volunteers.

The generous donation is consistent with the corporate values at Percepta, a North American contact center serving domestic and global clients.  As illustration, its employee programs focus on its local and global communities and include programs such as Percepta’s Passion and Percepta’s Planet. Bill Fillmore, Director of North American Operations, explains, “The Percepta’s Planet program helps promote environmental awareness at the company and highlights many earth-friendly practices of both the organization as well as its employees. Recycling computers taken out of service is but one example. We are delighted to be able to contribute to the community in a way that benefits so many organizations that serve Brevard.”  Coupled with Percepta’s Passion program – a forum for employees to highlight their volunteer activities in the community and to shine a spotlight on the valuable organizations they work so hard to support, Percepta models strong values for corporate citizenship.
