How a Matching Program with Charityvest Works

Create your admin account and create your program. Customize your per-employee match, matching rate, and eligibility rules.
Invite employees to join or set up auto-join features for approved corporate email addresses. Launch your program effortlessly with a single click.
Employees give. Employees link their bank/credit card, give tax-deductibly into their giving fund, and then out to any of the 1.4 million U.S. charities. Each with a tap. They can set up monthly recurring transactions as well. Employee donations are automatically matched from the corporate giving fund.
Company funds the matches. You'll create a corporate fund and pre-load some money in there (the company receives a tax deduction for all). When an employee sends a qualifying donation to charity, we'll automatically send a matching grant from your fund. You have the ability to deny any match with a tap.
Track activity and manage the program. You have an easy admin portal to monitor giving activity, manage your matching program, and add/remove employees in the program. We send monthly reports via email on giving KPI activity that aggregates impact across all employees, even giving beyond matching.

How much does it cost? What are the terms?

We offer a 15% discount for annual pre-paid billing. We can true up at year-end for any differences based on changes in employee count.
No transaction fees, 100% of donations go to charities.
No implementation fees.
No contracts. Cancel anytime.
Also, consider your matching budget. Companies typically range from $100 per employee per year to $1000 per employee per year and can expect participation rates from 15-60% at any matching size. We see many companies start out smaller and increase their per-employee matching amount over time.

How is Charityvest different than other workplace giving software?

Giving funds. We give employees an "HSA for Charity" aka a donor-advised fund—it's a valuable financial tool beyond the matching alone. Many employees will choose to do all of their giving through their fund, even outside of the matching program. Other competitors focus only on the matching.
Lower cost. Other competitors charge 3-10% on every dollar donated. We charge 0%. We believe giving should be free. We also have no implementation fee. We are typically 50-80% lower cost (in total) than competitors.
Social giving. We enable users to send gifts of charitable dollars to friends (while still maintaining the tax deduction). Companies can also do this as rewards or recognition. You can send charitable money into the funds of employees for them to give away in their name.
Launch in minutes. Our ten-minute onboarding flow sets up your corporate fund, creates your matching program, sets up billing, and invites employees.
