SAN FRANCISCO – June 25, 2019 –Splunk Inc.

To date, Splunk employees have prepared over 150,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger, with plans to prepare more than 350,000 meals within the next year.

“Splunk for Good empowers people and organizations to harness the power of data to help solve our planet’s biggest challenges. Our employees, customers, partners and social impact organizations are working side-by-side to make a positive difference,” said Lenny Stein, senior vice president, global affairs, Splunk. “As a growing nonprofit, it’s imperative that Rise Against Hunger can achieve impact well beyond its present size in its mission of fighting global hunger.

This ultimately allows us to better illustrate our impact to our partners, investors and beneficiaries,” said Sheryl Gustafson, Rise Against Hunger’s Director of Technology Solutions and Services “We can work towards using Splunk Enterprise to trace a meal from its packaging by a corporate volunteer to the ultimate beneficiary, which can help us further show the difference our volunteers and donors can make.”
