Momentive Together
How we’re shaping what’s next through social impact.
OUR MISSION
Amplify, unify, and lead by example
Momentive Together is how we put our values into action through philanthropic and community-minded commitments. At its heart is our belief that together we can drive real progress for equity, sustainability, and social justice—to help improve the world we currently live in and shape a better future for everyone.
We are invested in amplifying individual voices, particularly those that have historically been silenced. We aim to empower communities, increase diversity, and create more opportunities for people to thrive.
With Momentive Together, we’re acting on our convictions to spark meaningful change.
Antoine Andrews
Chief diversity and social impact officer
"Social Impact, diversity, and sustainability are words we all use to explain or define justice, access, and equity. I'm proud that Momentive Together is committed to creating one approach that requires us to view our efforts through these multiple lenses. The world needs us to have as many vantage points as possible because creating a just and equitable world depends on it."
Our beliefs guide our commitments
In our materiality assessment, we survey our employees, customers, executives, and more to determine what causes are most important to us as a company. The graphic below shows the individual issues that resonate with people at Momentive (shown as ‘Impact to the company’) and external stakeholders (shown as ‘importance to stakeholders’).
Learn more about our commitments and values in our 2021 Social Impact Report. For more data, see our 2020 Social Impact Report and 2020 update.
Together, we can make an impact
Our goal is to continually improve how we show up for our communities and the environment. Our efforts are centered around three pillars that we believe are imperative for a better world.
Educational equity
Tech companies like ours need to invest in future leaders. All students deserve access to educational programs and resources that will empower them to learn and grow. We pledge to expand opportunities for low-income and underserved early education and secondary students by supporting programs that provide high-value, equitable education.
Reshaping the workforce
Marginalized communities need meaningful access to employment pipelines, mentorship, and career development opportunities. We want to help dismantle and reimagine inequitable systems, while ensuring that everyone has what they need to succeed.
Environmental responsibility
It’s up to us to minimize our organizational and individual impact on the environment. From our real estate and supply chain to our travel decisions, we’re committed to monitoring our greenhouse gas emissions and reducing our carbon footprint.
Our legacy for good
Before we were Momentive Together, we were SurveyMonkey for Good. We’re proud of our legacy of corporate philanthropy and the continued impact of our programs, partnerships, and strategic giving initiatives.
SurveyMonkey Contribute
SurveyMonkey Contribute has raised more than $15 million for causes like social justice, animal welfare, education, and more. For every survey respondents complete, we donate 50 cents to the nonprofit of their choice.
Listen4Good
The Listen4Good program helps nonprofits build high-quality feedback loops with clients, make strategic decisions, deliver services, and partner more closely with the communities they serve.
Pledge 1%
Our surveys connect Pledge 1% companies with resources that will help them donate time, equity, product, and profit. We’ve taken our own pledge to give back, and are proud to promote corporate philanthropy.

Prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
At Momentive, we believe in doing everything in our power to create a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable world. As a company and as a community, meeting our DEI goals is just as important as meeting our financial goals.
From our recruiting strategy and product philosophy to our partnerships and strategic giving, we work hard to ensure that DEI is embedded in everything we do. We aim to be tech’s most inclusive workplace and to demonstrate exactly how companies can be a force for good. Our goals are big, and we know our work will never be done, but we have confidence that together we can shape a better future for everyone.
