Shutterfly's Open Door Project
At Shutterfly, we make life’s experiences unforgettable.
And we believe that everyone deserves to experience unforgettable moments. Through the Open Door Project, we aim to help all people access more of those moments, creating lasting memories.
We open doors to important personal milestones like prom, graduation, first jobs and first apartments. And we help enable, prepare for, and celebrate those milestones along the way.
Through a range of partnerships, programs, grants and employee volunteerism, we engage with our local communities across the country and beyond, helping open doors to support communities that need it most.

Local Chapters Lead the Way in our Communities
Dedicated Shutterfly employees at multiple sites extended the reach of Shutterfly’s Open Door Project by engaging with local community organizations. We provided grants and employee volunteers to organizations supporting marginalized communities, at-risk youth, people experiencing homelessness or hunger, veterans, and more. In 2023 alone, more than 400 employees across the country and in Haifa, Israel, engaged in chapter-led local volunteer events, contributed significant in-kind donations, and gave more than $125,000 back into the local communities where we live and work. Highlights included several engagements with local food banks and food pantries, toy drives, Veteran’s Day activities, and workforce readiness support.
Celebrating Decades of Impact with the Lifetouch Memory Mission
Since its inception in 2000, Lifetouch has organized 18 week-long trips, traveling to nine destinations around the world including Haiti, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Kosovo and more, for a week of intensive volunteer service. On each trip, nearly 50 volunteers representing national partners in education and company employees work side by side to invest in communities that need it most. Over the years, the Lifetouch Memory Mission has contributed more than 6,000 days of service from more than 500 volunteers. Learn more about the Lifetouch Memory Mission here:
Lifting One Another Up through the Employee Hardship Fund
At Shutterfly, we take care of our own families while also supporting the greater communities where we live and work. The Employee Hardship Fund provides financial assistance to employees and their family members when tragedy or crisis strikes. Additionally, employees across the company contribute to the fund to support their fellow team members. Since the fund was established in 2016, more than $300,000 has been granted to employees in need, and more than $60,000 has been contributed by employees to help one another.
