Mural, the leading digital workspace for visual collaboration in the enterprise, has reached a milestone of supporting over 1,000 nonprofit organizations with digital workspaces. These organizations use Mural’s platform to help global teams imagine together, collaborate visually, and drive progress—no matter where they are.
According to Mariano Suarez-Battan, co-founder and CEO of Mural, “Nonprofit teams work tirelessly to improve the world day in and day out. These changemakers rely on collaborative spaces to imagine together and innovate, yet in the context of the pandemic, this work became especially hard. We’re humbled and proud to hear how global teams are using Mural to advance their critical work. To all of the nonprofits in our community, it is inspiring how you constantly bring passion and purpose into everyday work, collaborate globally, and create and innovate through the lens of empathy, all while executing on a tight timeline and budget. And you get it done. Thank you for making this world a better place. It is a privilege to support and learn from you.”
Thousands of nonprofit team members have engaged in activities like virtual workshops, training sessions, and program or service delivery through Mural. These teams have created more than 21,000 murals to collaborate, brainstorm, and align on their missions.
A wide range of nonprofit organizations, including Inneract Project, a group dedicated to empowering under-represented youth through design classes and initiatives, use Mural to organize, collaborate, and facilitate internal discussions and partner programs. Maurice Woods, founder and executive director of Inneract Project and principal design lead at Microsoft, shared, “MURAL has been a resourceful tool in helping us organize, collaborate, and facilitate discussions internally with committee teams for future programs and externally for partner programs where we are directly working with students who are using it for drawing, icebreakers, brainstorming ideas, and creating group designs. I thoroughly enjoy partnering with them and look forward to using their product more in the future!” Mural has also donated $25,000 to support the Inneract Project.
Other nonprofit organizations using Mural include AST, Project Adventure, and the Aga Khan Foundation. According to Munir Ahmad of Aga Khan Foundation, "We are stimulating the co-creation of impactful next-generation solutions to improve the quality of life of the communities we serve. This can only be achieved by creating a collaborative and inclusive innovation ecosystem. During the pandemic, MURAL became a critical tool for our teams to keep working collaboratively in an efficient way and put their creative ideas into action.”
Nonprofits of all sizes continue to explore new ways to work visually and collaboratively with Mural—and anyone can sign up for free to get started.
