AidKit wins Gold and "Best of Category" for GovTech innovation at 2026 Globee Awards for Technology. Jul 14, 2026, 06:05 ET AidKit is recognized for its AI-powered infrastructure that is helping government agencies and nonprofits deliver aid faster, securely and with stronger accountability DENVER, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - AidKit, a Certified B Corp that helps government agencies and nonprofits deliver fast, fair and effective aid and relief programs, today announced it has been named a Gold winner and "Best of Category" honoree in the Achievement in GovTech or Public Sector Innovation category at the 2026 Globee(R) Awards for Technology. AidKit was recognized for its configurable public benefits infrastructure, which is helping public agencies and nonprofits modernize aid delivery, reduce administrative burden, strengthen fraud prevention and deliver benefits with greater speed, transparency and trust. "We're honored to be recognized by the Globee Awards for the work AidKit is doing to help public agencies deliver aid in ways that are faster, more resilient and more responsive to community needs," said Brittany Christenson, CEO of AidKit. "Government and nonprofit leaders are being asked to do more with less while navigating growing complexity, rising expectations and real urgency on behalf of the people they serve. Our goal is to give them infrastructure that not only improves operational efficiency, but also helps preserve fairness, accountability and dignity throughout the aid experience." AidKit's technology platform brings together eligibility, enrollment, identity verification, fraud mitigation, payments and compliance into a single system. It enables agencies to replace fragmented manual workflows and legacy tools with a more efficient, transparent model for administration. Since its founding in 2021, AidKit has supported more than 240 government agencies and nonprofit partners and helped distribute more than $450 million in aid. AidKit's innovation centers on the responsible use of artificial intelligence inside public systems. Rather than replacing human judgment, AidKit uses AI-enhanced identity verification, biometric matching, geospatial analysis and workflow automation to accelerate document review, flag inconsistencies and help staff manage complex caseloads. Final eligibility determinations remain with trained human reviewers, helping agencies increase efficiency while maintaining transparency, oversight and public trust. The Globee(R) recognition highlights AidKit's real-world impact across high-stakes public sector programs, including: * Los Angeles Regional Wildfire Relief Programs: After the January 2025 wildfires, AidKit helped LA County and the City of Los Angeles launch worker and small business relief programs in under two weeks. AI-enhanced identity verification and geospatial dashboards streamlined eligibility review, supported applicants who lost documentation and helped county leaders scale the fund from $2 million to more than $20 million. * Rx Kids in Flint, Michigan: AidKit provides technology to support Rx Kids, Michigan State University's maternal and infant cash prescription program administered by GiveDirectly that provides prenatal and first-year cash support to families. In its first year, the program reached more than 1,400 Flint families with nearly 100% uptake among new mothers, using AidKit's mobile-first, multilingual platform to support enrollment, payments and compliance. AidKit was also named Best of Category in Achievement in GovTech or Public Sector Innovation, an honor awarded to the highest-scoring entry in its category. The distinction reflects the top-ranked submission among all entries evaluated in that category through the Globee Awards' data-driven judging process conducted by experienced professionals worldwide. "Congratulations to the 2026 winners for their technology achievements across industries and markets worldwide," said San Madan, President of the Globee Awards. "These accomplishments reflect innovation, measurable impact and a commitment to advancing technology-driven progress." AidKit's latest Globee honor builds on other recent recognitions for the company. Over the past year, AidKit earned a 2025 Globee(R) Award for Impact for its responsible use of AI, achieved Certified B Corporation status, appointed former FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell to its board, and was named to Inc.'s 2026 Best Workplaces list. Together, those milestones reflect AidKit's leadership in responsible AI, public-sector innovation and mission-driven company building. The Globee(R) Awards for Technology recognize achievements in technology innovation, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud computing, enterprise modernization, operational excellence, customer impact and measurable organizational progress.

AidKit recognized by Inc. as one of america's Best Workplaces for its mission-driven govtech culture. Jun 03, 2026, 06:10 ET Annual list honors AidKit for its employee-centered culture and commitment to improving public aid delivery DENVER, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - AidKit, a Certified B Corp that helps government agencies and nonprofits deliver fast, fair and effective aid and relief programs, today announced it has been named to Inc.'s 2026 Best Workplaces list and honored in the software industry category. The annual list honors American companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that help their teams and businesses, whether in-person, remote or hybrid. AidKit was selected through a comprehensive evaluation process that included an employee survey, assessing areas such as management effectiveness, benefits, professional development and overall company culture. Founded in 2021, AidKit has grown into a mission-driven technology company serving more than 240 government agencies and nonprofit partners across 27 states. The company's public sector SaaS platform has delivered more than $440 million in aid since its founding, supporting programs that help families, workers, small businesses and communities recover from disasters, access benefits and respond to economic disruption. As a woman-led Certified B Corporation, AidKit centers its culture around transparency, flexibility, shared accountability and measurable public impact. Its culture is directly tied to the company's work helping public agencies and nonprofits launch and manage complex aid programs with speed, precision and accountability. "AidKit's culture is built around collaborating to increase social impact," said Brittany Christenson, CEO of AidKit. "When aid moves faster, it means a family gets disaster relief before they fall further behind, a worker accesses benefits without weeks of confusion or a small business gets help in time to keep its doors open. This recognition reflects the kind of workplace our employees have built together, where people trust each other, speak openly and stay focused on making public aid and benefits systems work better for the people who depend on them." AidKit's workplace culture combines mission-driven work with structured employee feedback, transparent leadership communication and flexible remote work policies. The company uses the B Impact framework to guide annual goals across employee experience, governance, community and customer outcomes. Employees also help shape company policies and product direction through regular feedback channels, collaborative planning processes and direct insight from the communities AidKit serves. "As a certified B Corp, we have a clear framework that upholds our values, safeguards our mission as we scale and signals to the world that we're strongly committed to delivering aid with integrity and dignity," said Katrina Van Gasse, chief impact officer and co-founder at AidKit. AidKit's technology has supported programs ranging from wildfire relief and emergency cash assistance to maternal and infant health cash prescription programs. Recent programs highlighted in AidKit's 2025 Impact Report include the LA Region Small Business and Worker Relief Funds, which delivered more than $24 million to workers, families and small businesses affected by wildfires, and Rx Kids in Flint, Michigan, which helped deliver more than $6 million to families through the country's first universal maternal and infant cash prescription program. The company has also supported Save the Children across five separate crises, helping deliver more than $2 million in emergency cash assistance to more than 4,000 families and 10,000 children across 22 states. On average, those responses moved from program design to cash in recipients' hands in just two days. "This year's Best Workplaces list goes beyond great company culture-it highlights companies making meaningful and sustained investment in their employees," says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. "Even in a labor market that favors employers, these companies understand that an intentional and authentic commitment to their teams drives stronger employee retention, engagement, and ultimately, a stronger business overall."

Hilda Solis announces $3.6M for businesses affected by ICE raids. More than 850 small businesses that have faced economic disruption due to the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration will receive a combined $3.6 million in grants through a second funding round of a Los Angeles County program, officials announced today. The grants come from the Small Business Resiliency Fund, a program launched by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in September 2025 to provide direct financial assistance to small businesses. Funding for the program comes from the county's Care First Community Invest initiative. Award notifications are being issued by third-party administrator AidKit, in coordination with the county's Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and fiscal sponsor SoCal Grantmakers. In December, the county released about $1.53 million in grants during the first round of the program, helping 367 small businesses. An analysis from the DEO and the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation found that the county lost an estimated 11,730 jobs, $932 million in labor income, and $2.5 billion in economic output from June to December 2025. During a Thursday morning news conference, Supervisor Hilda Solis said she introduced a motion last summer in response to the administration's immigration enforcement raids in the county. The federal government has defended its enforcement actions, calling them a necessary corrective measure after tens of thousands of people crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally during the Biden administration. Officials also say the raids target immigrants with criminal histories. "They continue today on an even larger scale, spreading fear and uncertainty across many of our communities. Families are in constant fear, as well as their children and employers," Solis said. "Workers, as we know, are being torn away from their job sites. People are being snatched from their homes, streets, bus stops, parks, and even their cars." "We've seen it with our own eyes, and there's no refuting that these actions not only terrorize our families, but they are having a devastating impact on our small businesses that rely on this workforce," Solis added. Solis said the first round of the program was so successful that officials agreed to conduct a second funding round. In her district alone, she said 146 eligible small businesses were left unfunded. To help those businesses, Solis also presented the Department of Economic Opportunity with a $649,000 check from her discretionary funds. Kelly LoBianco, director of the DEO, said the program is designed to provide immediate financial relief to small businesses. "Our county, especially our immigrant owners and neighbors, continue to bear the weight of this disruption to their normal operations," LoBianco said. Entrepreneurs such as brick-and-mortar shop owners, sidewalk vendors, independent contractors, and some customer-facing businesses with fewer than 100 employees and under $6 million in revenue can apply for the program if they have experienced direct impacts from federal immigration enforcement, she added.
