CARPINTERIA, Calif., April 10, 2019 – Procore Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based applications for construction, today announced it has joined Pledge 1%, a global philanthropy movement dedicated to making giving back a fundamental piece of every business.
Nonprofit and educational organizations receive Procore's software, implementation, and support free of charge to help serve their missions by building for charity and educating construction professionals.
