SaaS platform for employee philanthropy

Overview

YourCause provides software that helps companies connect their employees to charitable causes. Its SaaS platform, CSRconnect, is a hosted solution for running employee engagement, workplace giving, and volunteering programs. GrantsConnect helps grant administrators manage corporate and foundation philanthropy programs.

YourCause differentiates itself with a global reach (over 7 million employees in 170+ countries), a long track record (nearly $2 billion donated and over 30 million volunteer hours processed), and a large network of corporate partners and nonprofits—the YourCause Global Good Network. The company’s goal is to enable companies to advance social impact at scale by aligning employees, resources, and causes through a unified platform and services.
