IT/IQ ClimbUP Results

During the pandemic, many nonprofits are facing increased demand while being compelled to cancel some of their crucial fundraising events in the interest of health and safety. Now, more than ever it’s crucial to help nonprofits as they support those who are greatly affected by COVID-19. IT/IQ partnered with the United Way of the Lower Mainland, to help those in need during the pandemic.
