The Akamai Compassion Fund was created to help Charitable Class members who require immediate financial assistance following an unforeseen disaster or personal hardship. The Fund relies on support from both the sponsoring organization — the Akamai Foundation — as well as individual donations made by Akamai's partners, employees, and/or the general public. Every donation makes a difference, no matter the amount. Combined with the donations of others, each contribution helps provide grants when they are needed most.
