Scorability Give Back 2026: Showing Up for Austin and Des Moines
October 30, 2026
At Scorability, our work is about helping athletes and families find the right college sports program. This summer, our team traveled across the country to support camps in person. This fall, our teams came together to make a difference in the communities we’re lucky to call home.
Through the Scorability Give Back Program, our employees chose a local nonprofit in Austin and in Des Moines to support. Scorability donated $5,000 to each one, and then we showed up in person to work alongside them.
Our Employees Choose How We Give Back
What makes the Scorability Give Back Program special is that our employees decide where we give. In April, team members nominated local nonprofits they care about, and the entire company voted to select one organization in Austin and another in Des Moines. Each received a $5,000 donation, along with something equally important: our team’s time.
Our program prioritizes education and volunteering alongside our donation. Each nonprofit we work with teaches us about its work over a Lunch + Learn at our office. Then we work side by side with them at their locations.
Our Austin Team Shows Up for The SAFE Alliance
SAFE provides housing, counseling, advocacy, and other critical services to thousands of children and adults across Austin. On any given day, the organization provides shelter or housing to hundreds of people seeking safety and stability.
The SAFE team joined us for lunch at our Austin office and walked us through their housing, advocacy, counseling, and education programs. Hearing about that work from the people who do it every day stayed with us, and we left with deep respect for their mission.
On October 28, we got to see that work up close. SAFE hosted a Halloween Trunk or Treat for families, where volunteers decorated their car trunks and kids went from car to car collecting candy.
Our team showed up in full costume and spent the evening decorating the event space, setting up our trunk, serving dinner to families, and running the cake walk. We also presented SAFE with a donation that night.
The best part was simple: an evening with kids and families from our own community, right here in Austin.
Our Des Moines Team Shows Up for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa
The Animal Rescue League of Iowa has cared for animals since 1926, helping more than 1 million pets in need along the way. Today, it runs Iowa’s largest nonprofit animal shelter.
Adoptions are only part of the story. ARL rescues animals from inhumane conditions, helps families keep their pets with pet food and low-cost vet care, and gives rescued horses a safe place to recover through its equine program.
In September, the ARL team visited our Des Moines office for lunch and showed us just how far that work reaches across the state.
On October 15, our team volunteered at ARL’s Mane Event, the biggest horse event of their year. The evening took place at ARL’s Kruidenier Second Chance Ranch, where horses rescued from neglect and abandonment heal and wait for new homes. We pitched in wherever ARL needed us, met a few very friendly horses, and presented ARL with a donation.
Giving Back, Together
This year’s Give Back Program brought our Austin and Des Moines teams together in support of two organizations doing important work in their communities.
Together, we contributed $10,000, volunteered our time, and learned firsthand about the people and animals these organizations serve. And we’re looking forward to doing the same next year—our employees will once again nominate and select the local nonprofits we’ll support.
To everyone at SAFE and ARL: thank you for teaching us more about what you do and allowing us to help. To learn more, volunteer, or give, visit safeaustin.org and arl-iowa.org.
