Community involvement
Yoast is very active in many communities, sponsoring events and supporting organizations. We make sure our employees have time to volunteer and give back. We are especially committed to the global WordPress community, where we love supporting the people who make it thrive. Find out more about our community involvement below!
Yoast Care fund
Supporting the WordPress community
WordPress is built by people from all over the world. Many of them don’t get paid for that work, although it takes them a lot of time and effort to do it. It is one of the reasons why WordPress is what it is — it would never have been this large without its community. At Yoast and many other companies, paid staff donate hours of their time to the WordPress project. While that helps, we’d like to see that those people who work for free get the appreciation they deserve.
The Yoast Care fund was established to financially support valued members of the community who do everything out of their own pocket. Nominees get a chance at a €500 grant as a token of support.

Yoast Diversity fund
Stimulating diversity in tech
We believe that encouraging diversity among conference speakers and attendees is incredibly important. These types of events are places we go to learn, get inspired, meet life-long friends, and make significant career or life decisions. The people on the stage influence those outcomes, and the people around us shape that experience.
At Yoast, we’ve been thinking about how we can improve conference inclusivity. One thing we can do is remove hurdles, specifically the hurdle of costs — the costs for speakers from a diverse background to come and speak. For this, we introduced the Yoast Diversity fund. This fund helps people from underrepresented groups speak at conferences.
