The New Era of Workplace Giving: Meeting Donors Where They are
Traditional workplace-giving programs often miss the mark. Employees want giving to feel personal, effortless, and seamlessly integrated into their daily lives. But how do companies meet these expectations while maintaining program efficiency and impact? Using Submittable’s digital “Impact Wallet,” companies are transforming their workplace-giving programs by shifting from one-size-fits-all models to hyper-personalized giving experiences. This innovative approach empowers employees to give when, where, and how they want—whether through direct donations, corporate rewards, payroll contributions, and more. Employees can create real-time impact via the fastest donation method in CSR.
What you'll learn:
- How to transform workplace giving from transactional to meaningful and engaging
- Why flexibility and personalization are key to increasing donor participation
- How the Impact Wallet meets donors in their flow of life—whether through direct giving, rewards, payroll contributions, or the fastest donation method in CSR
- Real-world examples of companies enhancing their CSR impact and employee engagement
- Actionable steps to future-proof your giving programs and make generosity second nature
