Workplace giving (also called corporate or employee giving) is a company-supported program that encourages employees to donate to charitable causes — often through payroll deductions, matching gifts, or other structured opportunities. Many organizations launch these programs as part of their broader CSR strategy.

Workplace giving is now an expectation for many employees, customers, and investors — and it directly supports your brand's reputation for social responsibility. Companies with strong giving and volunteering programs see higher employee engagement, better retention, and a stronger connection to their communities.

Modern workplace programs often pair financial giving with structured volunteering. Employees can browse events, sign up, log hours, and share photos and impact stories. Convenient tools and clear visibility into opportunities are key to keeping volunteer programs active and well-attended.

A workplace giving platform is software that helps you manage corporate giving programs in one place — sharing opportunities, collecting donations, running matching programs, tracking volunteering, and reporting impact. It centralizes the admin work so HR, CSR, and leadership teams can focus on strategy instead of manual processes.

You can launch and manage multiple programs from a single system — including direct employee giving, corporate matching, volunteer initiatives, and impact reporting. This consolidates what might otherwise live in spreadsheets, email, and separate tools.

Uncommon Giving lets employees search and register for volunteer events, track their hours, and visualize their impact through photos and reports. This helps both employees and administrators see how volunteer time adds up across the company.

The Uncommon Wallet is a charitable giving wallet that functions like a donor-advised fund (DAF) for each employee. Employees can consolidate contributions into the wallet and then choose when and where to donate to nonprofits over time — giving them flexibility and control over their charitable impact.

Administrators can create and customize matching gift programs — setting match ratios, eligibility, and limits — to encourage employee donations. The platform facilitates and tracks those matching contributions so employees see the full impact of their gifts.

Yes. Uncommon Giving offers a mobile app so employees can give, volunteer, and track their impact from their phones. This makes it easier for dispersed or on-the-go teams to stay engaged with programs.

Admins can configure dashboards to display real-time data on corporate giving, employee participation, volunteer hours, and causes supported. This reporting helps demonstrate impact to leadership and stakeholders and informs decisions about future programs.

The platform automatically processes donations twice a month and disburses funds to nonprofits via ACH. This eliminates manual spreadsheets and reconciliations in accounting.

Employees want to contribute to causes they care about, and giving platforms make it easy to discover nonprofits, donate, and sign up for volunteer opportunities. By lowering friction and offering flexible options, companies see stronger participation and a more values-aligned culture.

Companies with effective corporate giving and volunteering programs see measurable benefits: higher revenue, reduced employee turnover, increased productivity, and stronger appeal to candidates who want to work for socially responsible employers.
