Giving beyond Markqo

A successful company should create good beyond itself.

Markqo commits 10% of its profits to charitable causes. The selected cause changes each quarter, allowing part of the company's success to support different dimensions of basic human dignity.

This quarter's selected charity is charity: water.

The Markqo commitment

Sharing success is part of how we want to build.

Markqo is building tools to help educators reclaim time and reduce repetitive assessment work. That value to teachers comes first.

If Markqo succeeds and generates a profit, 10% of that profit is committed to the quarter's selected charity. This is a commitment from profit, not revenue, and individual customer payments are not presented as directly ring-fenced donations.

The selection rotates quarterly so Markqo can support charities working across different aspects of basic human dignity. This is intended to remain a company principle, not a temporary launch campaign.

What every person deserves

Five necessities that guide the causes we choose.

No single selected charity needs to work across every area. Together, these principles guide Markqo towards organisations supporting the foundations of a dignified life.

Humandignity
  1. 01

    Water

    The foundation of health, dignity and possibility.

  3. 03

    Shelter

    A safe place from which a life can take shape.

  4. 04

    Freedom

    The ability to make choices and live with agency.

  5. 05

    Education

    The opportunity to understand, grow and build a future.

This quarter's selected charity

charity: water

charity: water is a global nonprofit working to bring clean and safe water to people around the world.

Why water, and why now?

Access to clean water is foundational to health, dignity, opportunity, education and economic security. Water is a basic human necessity, not a privilege, which makes charity: water's mission a direct reflection of the principles guiding Markqo's selections.

Markqo also values charity: water's public emphasis on transparency and showing donors how funds are used.

charity: water states that private donors cover its operating costs, allowing 100% of public donations to fund clean-water projects. This is charity: water's stated model, not a guarantee made by Markqo.

Your success can carry further

Value for educators. Wider impact when Markqo succeeds.

A Markqo subscription is first and foremost an investment in protecting an educator's time, reducing repetitive assessment work and making working life more manageable.

When that genuine value helps Markqo become profitable, the profit commitment allows part of the company's success to support a wider cause as well.

Using Markqo is not the same as making a direct charitable donation. It is choosing a useful product from a company committed to sharing part of the profit it earns.

A commitment to transparency

Updates when there is something real to report.

Markqo intends to publish its quarterly charity selections and donation updates as donations are made. We will not fill the space with invented totals or imply impact before it has happened.

Protect more of your time. Help build a company that shares its success.
