TechSoup has partnered with Benevity, the leader in powering corporate giving, to provide access to donations from companies and their employees for nonprofits worldwide. Many corporations encourage their employees to give money and volunteer time to nonprofits in their communities and will match and send those contributions through the Benevity system.
Benevity’s platform, which includes a global database of more than 2 million registered nonprofits worldwide, encourages open choice for employees in these corporate giving programmes. Benevity currently supports giving for clients in over 200 countries, in 15 languages and 7 currencies.
A nonprofit that has been nominated for corporate giving -and- completed their profile with Benevity could receive the following type of support:
- grant
- donation in local currency
- volunteer hours
How do I complete my registration with Benevity after being nominated?
If you have received an email invitation to register with TechSoup South Africa Programme on behalf of Benevity, it means that an employee from one of our corporate clients actively wants to support your organisation.
