Flexible

Our CSR software can be configured to meet the needs of your program. Multiple donation methods are available to offer your employees options including credit card, Apple Pay, payroll, matching gifts and logging offline donations.

Matching Gifts

We’re all about creating efficiencies. CSRConnect allows you to motivate employee participation through automating matching gifts and incentives. We will even keep you and your employees up-to-date on the matching gift status from start to finish.

Campaigns

Quickly rally your employees to support disaster relief or seasonal and annual giving campaigns. By leveraging peer-to-peer fundraising, employees can build connections and support their favorite cause.

Global

Blackbaud has the largest charity database to connect companies to opportunities for volunteering and giving. As environmental, social governance (ESG) investing and corporate social responsibility becomes increasingly important, companies can rely on YourCause + Blackbaud to help extend their initiatives and strengthen corporate philanthropy.

Connections for Employee Volunteering

Volunteering events are not one size fits all. Choose the features and functionality that your team needs.

Managing volunteer events shouldn’t require you to spend hours tracking registration, promoting opportunities, finding events, coordinating t-shirts, or digging through numerous reports. We know that volunteer events aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution, so we make it easy to choose the features and functionality that your team needs. CSRconnect allows you to quickly manage one-off volunteer events but still offers all the bells and whistles to take on a more robust global volunteer event. With optional event feeds, an innovative approach to dollars for doers, and a user experience that leverages mobile behaviors to drive engagement, we’re excited to help make managing and growing your programs a bit easier.

Create

Make everyone an event coordinator! The platform gives you and your team the flexibility to set up events or have your nonprofit partner create a volunteering opportunity. Team members or employee ambassadors can recruit others to join.

Search

Finding an event to volunteer for has never been easier. Employees can search from thousands of pre-populated opportunities using smart search functionality such as keyword tags and locational information.

Track

From team to individual volunteer hours, tracking your volunteer time is easy. With a couple clicks of the mouse you can ensure that event reporting is up-to-date and easily reportable.

Reward

Everyone loves to be rewarded for a good deed! Provide your participants with volunteer rewards, such as volunteer grants or an incentive, for the time and energy they invest in supporting a charity.

Do good anywhere, anytime.
