An employee giving and matching platform is software that helps companies run payroll giving programs, automate donation matching, give employees access to a database of vetted nonprofits, and report on charitable impact — all from one place. Uncommon Giving's platform includes CLMA-certified match processing, employee giving accounts (DAFs), 1.8M+ verified nonprofits, and real-time CSR reporting.
CLMA stands for the Corporate Leadership in Matching Awards — the industry standard for accurate, auditable corporate match processing. CLMA-certified platforms like Uncommon Giving meet rigorous requirements for nonprofit vetting, disbursement accuracy, and reporting. It means your company's match dollars reach the right nonprofits, on time, with a full paper trail for your auditors.
Uncommon Giving integrates with major HRIS and payroll systems including Paycor, Paychex, Paylocity, and ADP. Payroll deductions are set up once per employee and automatically processed each pay period. For payroll systems not yet natively integrated, Uncommon Giving provides a simple CSV import process so no pay period is missed.
Each employee in Uncommon Giving gets a personal donor-advised fund (DAF) — a tax-advantaged charitable giving account. Employees contribute to their account via payroll deduction, one-time gifts, or employer grants. Contributions are tax-deductible in the year made, and employees can distribute funds to any 501(c)(3) at any time. There's no minimum balance and no annual fees.
Yes. Admins can configure matching to apply to all 1.8M+ nonprofits, or restrict matching to specific cause categories (e.g., education and health only), or maintain a curated list of approved organizations. You can also exclude specific nonprofits if needed. All configuration is done in the admin dashboard without requiring any code changes or support tickets.
Most companies launch within 48 hours of signing up. The platform requires no IT involvement, no professional services engagement, and no implementation fees. Admins configure the program from a self-serve dashboard, import employees via CSV or HRIS sync, and employees can begin giving immediately after their first login.
Every nonprofit in Uncommon Giving's database is a verified IRS-registered 501(c)(3), continuously monitored for good standing.
