The Pleasure is All Ours

September 16, 2026

Dear Friends at Optiv:

 

Theres no way to thank you enough for all the ways you matter to the students and staff at Operation Breakthrough. From giving time to upgrade our Makerspace, to inviting our kids to build solar cars with you, to feeding our families, to funding hands-on learning the people of Optiv have fully embraced OB’s mission. Your time, donations and encouragement generate great progress and joy at OB! Thank You!

Giving Back Starts with Showing Up

Through Optiv Chips In, Optiv’s community impact program, we’re helping our communities reach their full potential. 

 

From providing meals to families in need to supplying refurbished computers that advance learning for tomorrow’s cyber leaders, our goal is to make an enduring impact. Core to these efforts is our belief that empowering the next generation doesn’t begin with technology. We support the whole student and are committed to meeting their most basic needs first so they can see themselves in cyber and thrive when it comes to science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) learning opportunities.

 

From Denver, Colorado, to Bangalore, India, from annual Optiv Kick-Off campaigns to our ongoing OptivCon events, our people and partners are looking for ways to make a difference. For all of us, giving back isn’t a requirement — it’s an opportunity and a privilege. In 2025 and 2026, we:

 

  • Donated nearly $500,000 in financial and in-kind contributions
  • Supported 300,000+ meals
  • Volunteered nearly 6,000 hours 
  • Reached more than 5,000 students through Optiv Chips In activations
  • Donated 590 STEAM kits and 330 Savvy Cyber Kid books in 2026
  • And much, much more

 

"We appreciate all of the thank you notes and messages we get. But when these organizations are welcoming us into the actual work they are doing, it’s such a gift for us,’’ says Amber Peacher, Optiv’s senior corporate social responsibility manager. "I think we’ve been really lucky to be a part of their journey, because they’re doing hard stuff."

Operation Breakthrough: Building Opportunity

In Optiv’s headquarters’ city, Operation Breakthrough has been a longstanding community partner. The non profit organization provides a safe, loving and educational environment for children in poverty and empowers their families through advocacy, aid and education.

 

Over several years of multi-year grant support, volunteerism and furniture donations, Optiv has built out a dedicated STEAM Lab and Makerspace within the facility. Funding from Optiv goes toward purchasing dedicated cybersecurity software, program licenses and bringing certified instructors on site for teach sessions. 

 

Targeting underserved middle and high school-aged students, Optiv provides support for daytime and after-school STEAM workshops, including the evening Coding Club and Saturday Robotic Workshop, as well as helping provide practical technical skills that can lead to industry-relevant certifications.
