Tractable donates £40k to industry charities
Tractable has donated $50,000 (£40,000) to help two charities working in the collision repair space – Ben in the UK and the Collision Industry Foundation (CIF) in the US.
“Our mission is to accelerate accident and disaster recovery across the world, with AI. But recently, the world has been severely hit by the coronavirus pandemic,” said Tractable CEO and co-founder Alex Dalyac.
“After thinking about what role we can play in helping, our team members have started taking some paid time off to work on a volunteering initiative of their choosing.
“We also feel as a company that we have the duty to do something to help those in need within our industry. In the collision repair sector in which we operate … repairs have declined by as much as half. Automotive repair professionals and their families are being affected, experiencing medical and financial difficulties. So we are donating to two charities that organise relief efforts within the sector,” Dalyac added.
Sending a HUGE thank you to @tractable_ai, who have donated a staggering $25,000 to @BenSupport4Auto!
Your generous donation will help us to provide digital support to even more #automotive people, & help those facing financial problems.

Ben supports people from the UK automotive and repair industry who are in need. It will use the $25,000 Tractable donation to expand its online mental health services – vital right now, given the increase in people reaching out to the charity – and to support people who are between jobs and who haven’t been able to find new employment because of the lockdown.
CIF, which also received $25,000, is the official charitable arm of the US collision repair industry. It is dedicated to raising, managing and donating funds to provide emergency relief to collision repair professionals who have been impacted by natural disasters or other catastrophic events, such as Covid-19.
