“The employee volunteering platform makes it easy to do something good for others. It's easy to use, I can log my employee volunteer hours, donate and have my donations matched, look at other in-field or virtual volunteer opportunities, and customer services are friendly, fast and efficient.”

Elizabeth C., G2 Review

“As part of our CSR program, we wanted to give 1% of our employees' time to NGOs and to fund certain projects. The corporate social responsibility platform helps you do that, connecting us to great NGOs close to our offices. Without it, it would have been much more complicated to get in touch and to work with those NGOs.”

Michel Da., G2 Review

The company will typically organize volunteering opportunities or provide easy access to these initiatives. Many companies also offer volunteer rewards, like dollars for doers or volunteer grants to organizations their employees care about.

What are volunteering programs?

Volunteering programs manage volunteers company-wide. These programs cover everything from volunteering platform management to localized volunteer events to volunteer rewards. They are often responsible for reporting on the success of the volunteers, including tracked hours and overall participation numbers.

What are the benefits of corporate volunteering?
