The Uncommon Giving alternative for CSR teams that need to grow their program
Submittable offers a workplace giving experience that's just as easy to use as Uncommon Giving. Plus, you’ll get access to a full suite of volunteering and grantmaking tools when you’re ready.
Submittable is the complete CSR package
As its name implies, Uncommon Giving makes great employee giving tools. If that’s all you need, that’s fine. But, to grow your CSR program you’ll need more.

Uncommon Giving is incomplete
Uncommon Giving is intuitive but lacks power. When you look at even the positive Capterra reviews, you’ll see comments about how it lacks “sophisticated reporting.”1
The kicker? Uncommon Giving isn’t that much more intuitive than Submittable.
When you look at ease of use scores on Capterra,2 Submittable comes out on top among Uncommon Giving’s CSR competitors with a 4.6/5 based on 165 reviews.
Uncommon Giving is the only CSR software to rank higher with a 5/5 ease of use score based on only 17 reviews.
What you gain in ease of use with Uncommon Giving is dragged down by an incomplete feature set. It’s not a platform that can help you grow. Submittable is, with our robust CSR feature set and expert customer success teams.
