Reward every hour with charitable dollars

Configure volunteer matching and employees earn charitable funds for every hour they volunteer. This employee volunteering software feature lets you set a match amount per hour, a per-user cap, and an organization-wide cap — then toggle it on. Earned funds flow into each employee's personal giving wallet.

  • Set a match amount per volunteer hour (e.g. $25/hr)
  • Per-user cap prevents over-distribution (e.g. $2,000/yr)
  • Organization-wide cap keeps total program spend in budget
  • Earned funds added to employee giving wallet after hours approval

Employee volunteering software frequently asked questions

What is employee volunteering software?
Employee volunteering software helps companies create and manage corporate volunteer programs. It enables HR and CSR teams to organize volunteer events, allow employees to sign up and log hours, track Volunteer Time Off (VTO), run Dollars for Doers grant programs, and report on community impact — all from one system. Uncommon Giving combines volunteering with workplace giving and impact reporting in a single platform.
What is an employee volunteering platform?
An employee volunteering platform is software that helps companies create and manage corporate volunteer programs. It enables HR and CSR teams to organize volunteer events, allow employees to sign up and log hours, track Volunteer Time Off (VTO), run Dollars for Doers grant programs, and report on community impact — all from one system. Uncommon Giving combines volunteering with workplace giving and impact reporting in a single platform.
How does Dollars for Doers work?
A Dollars for Doers program rewards employees with charitable giving funds for the time they volunteer. With Uncommon Giving, admins set a flat per-hour grant rate — for example, $10 for every volunteer hour logged. Once hours are reviewed and approved, that amount is added to the employee's personal giving wallet to donate to any nonprofit of their choice.
What is Volunteer Time Off (VTO)?
Volunteer Time Off (VTO) is paid time off that employers grant specifically for employees to volunteer during work hours. Unlike traditional PTO, VTO is designated for community service activities. Uncommon Giving helps admins track VTO usage alongside standard volunteer hours, ensuring accurate reporting for payroll and HR purposes.
How do employees log volunteer hours in Uncommon Giving?
Employees log volunteer hours directly from the Uncommon Giving mobile app or web platform after a volunteer event. Admins can enable auto-approval to instantly credit hours, or review and approve submissions manually from the admin dashboard. Bulk uploads are also available for past or off-platform volunteer activities.
Can employees find their own volunteer opportunities?
Yes. Uncommon Giving integrates with Volunteer Match, powered by Idealist — giving employees access to 80,000+ up-to-date volunteer opportunities posted directly by 200,000 organizations. Employees can browse and filter by location, cause area, skill, and eligibility, then sign up directly from the platform or mobile app, in addition to any company-organized events.
Does Uncommon Giving integrate with Slack for volunteer events?
Yes. Through the Uncommon Giving Slack integration, employees receive notifications when new volunteer events are posted and a confirmation when they register. When an employee logs volunteer hours, the admin receives a notification via email and Slack. Event sign-up confirmations are also sent within the Slack event channel.
How quickly can we launch a corporate volunteer program?
Most companies launch their volunteer program within 48 hours of signing up. The platform requires no IT involvement or professional services — and there are no implementation fees. Admins configure events, grant settings, and integrations from a self-serve dashboard, and employees can start discovering and signing up for events immediately.
