Rack Gives Back

At Rackspace, we have a long-standing commitment to support the communities around us. We're known for delivering Fanatical Support® to our customers and we deliver that kind of support to communities where we live, work and play. So much so that we started the Rack Gives Back Program to support the community in the form of grants, hosting services and employee volunteer programs.

Rackspace has always done business differently; our corporate giving is also done the Rackspace way. Our selected areas of focus for program grants and group volunteer activities include the advancement of arts and culture, education, technology, and the overall development of our community.

Why do we focus on these areas?

Arts & Culture: We ask Rackers to think creatively every day. We challenge them to innovate, to be resourceful, and to create an experience like none other for our customers. Creativity is a talent that must be cultivated. Building a culture of creativity takes explicit focus. This is important to San Antonio, and it’s important to Rackspace.

Education: A great education can elevate an entire community. We believe in the transformative value of education -and we walk the walk.

Technology: As an IT company, we encourage the organizations we work with to focus on their core business, not wrestle with outdated systems. We are the world’s leading specialist in hosting and cloud computing. We believe non-profits deserve to have nimble, efficient IT solutions that help them do great work in our community.

Community Development: We are headquartered in San Antonio, and we believe in the greatness of our city. Not only do we want to develop our local pool of talent, we also want to make San Antonio even more desirable for locals, for Rackers, and for the companies who do business in our city – now and in the future.
