The roadshow was instead conducted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The group of professional service firms that orchestrated ZoomInfo’s IPO – including bankers, lawyers, accountants, and other advisors – also teamed up to contribute to this donation.\n\n\nZoomInfo’s sales team raised over $36,000 through a pair of one-day demo drives, boosting the total contributions past $100,000.\n\n\nThe contributions were directed to seven organizations, chosen for their dedication to equality in race, as well as their representation of the communities in which ZoomInfo has offices:\n\n\n\nUrban League of Portland (Portland, Ore.)\n\n\nUrban League of Metropolitan Seattle (Seattle, Wash.)\n\n\nGrand Rapids African American Health Institute (Grand Rapids, Mich.)\n\n\nPhiladelphia Black Giving Circle (Philadelphia, Pa.)\n\n\nNew England Blacks In Philanthropy (Boston, Mass.)\n\n\nNational Black Child Development Institute (Silver Spring, Md.)\n\n\nSeeds of Peace (Middle East; United States)\n\n\n\n“We wanted to do more than just release a corporate statement; we wanted to act philanthropically,” said ZoomInfo Founder and CEO Henry Schuck. “We support Americans who are standing up and speaking up against racial injustice and inequality. The mistreatment of the Black community and systemic racism in the U.S. must stop. We want to see these organizations succeed in their missions of initiating change and making our community a welcoming and safe place for everyone.”\n\n\nOn July 6, Schuck joined other local leaders in a virtual check presentation for the Urban League of Portland.\n\n\n“We are delighted by this investment in our work from our neighbors at ZoomInfo,\" said Nkenge Harmon Johnson, President and CEO of the Urban League of Portland. \"This donation will strengthen our ability to provide superior advocacy, program...
