We built Dronedesk as a commercial enterprise and it's how we make our living. But, we strongly believe in corporate social responsibility and we try to give back to the drone community in any way we can. Here's a few examples of the organisations we support and the projects we run:
- We've built several free-to-access informational websites to help operators run their operations - see some examples below
- We offer free Dronedesk accounts to registered charities run by volunteers - see some of the SAR teams we support below
- We curate an aggregated news service across our social media accounts which brings drone-related news articles from around the world to a wide audience of drone hobbyists and professionals
- We run Drone Pulse; a drone-related industry-wide survey to provide insights and data to operators to help inform their business growth strategies
We've built tools to help drone operators with not only planning their operations but also with their business planning.
