Volunteering was great! I really enjoyed meeting all the regular volunteers and people from the organization and loved the energy and seeing how passionate the group was around working together to feed the community.
Volunteering was a lovely day to clean up one of Chicago's beautiful beaches. Got to see some of my team members and contribute to a great cause!
Our whole team got together and colored. It was alot of fun and a good way to take a break from work! I remember we all really took our time to make sure it was perfect for the kids!
The experience with We Need Books was fantastic. They were extremely grateful for our help, and it was an honor to be involved with such a great project and cause.
Percent Pledge changed expectations...employees now expect giving to be an ongoing part of company culture and it's great to have that org-wide expectation around something so positive.

Volunteering was great! Setup was well organized and I thought the amount/type of food was amazing. I was so glad we were not able to just give food but healthy, well-rounded meals.
During the volunteer event, it was nice talking to someone aspiring to be an engineer, giving them practical advice for how to get there. I enjoyed the break from work and felt it was a valuable use of my time.
Great experience! I'm glad I got curious about it. It's a volunteering work I could casually contribute to any time (from home)
WeNeedBooks was wonderful. It was an amazing experience both to serve and learn. We were even given a tour of the neighborhood it serves and were told about the rich culture and community that is present in the area.
It was a fun experience to have with my studio team. We helped a lot of people at the food bank.
The whole experience was so organized, which helped me feel like we actually made an impact with the limited time we had. I would love to do this more often!
I love how the platform gives me suggestions on the top causes people are currently donating to.
I like having some volunteering opportunities at work.
Helped classify sex of belugas in Beluga Bits. Something new to learn and something I haven't done before.
It was difficult to encourage employees to come to volunteer events. We had fairly low engagement before Percent Pledge.

Percent Pledge presented me with 3 project options thoughtfully curated based on our Passion Report. I knew we were having a conversation about Feedonomics, not just another client, and we chose the virtual Map-a-Thon!

Thanks for giving us an easy way to help others.
Percent Pledge is one of the few solutions that give people a choice. By partnering with Percent Pledge, our employees can choose where they want to give, and how (donate or volunteer).

Volunteering felt nice to give back with teammates
Personally, the day of volunteer event was one of my favorite days at AuditBoard. It was amazing and met with resoundingly positive feedback from leadership. Employees shared the event was a wholesome experience that validated their decision to join AuditBoard.

My volunteer experience overall was very good. As a diabetic myself, most of the information was not new. It was impactful to create something that will be put to use and educate fellow diabetics.
I made the pledge because what goes around comes around, the only way to keep getting lucky is to give a little every now and then. Thanks for making it easier!
Volunteering was an awesome team building and nice to do something like this as a company.
One of my favorite benefits is that you match donations and offer yearly amounts that we can donate to the cause we most care about. Please keep this benefit <3
I love the concept of donating this way via Percent Pledge - matches all the best practices around saving, having it deducted BEFORE I can really see it.
During the volunteer event, I really enjoyed speaking with the Per Scholas learner I was paired with, and felt that our conversation represented the experience the Learner could expect with a hiring manager at a tech company in the future.
The Passion Assessment helped us identify what people care about, so now we can more easily find events and create campaigns that people will happily support.

Percent Pledge isn't just our team volunteering at the moment - team members share the impact reports after the events. Being able to share these moments with the communities we serve has a longer-lasting effect!

We volunteered alongside high school students and EcoUrbanGardens. Not only was it wonderful to add to the schools gardens and help do some very much needed work, but also inspiring to see such a rich program already in place!!
Volunteering was a welcomed break from work. It pushed petty things aside when we saw people relying on us to feed themselves and their families. It was a great memory and built more of a bond with everyone.
Fun and interesting volunteer event!
It was great! Simple and easy yet fulfilling! We packed products into boxes that were to be shipped out to eventually be given to families in need. This was a wonderful way to give back!
I enjoyed the volunteer event, the take aways were eye opening. I found the list of hidden rules to be very interesting, a wake up call to be sure. I did not realize the vast resources that Metropolitan ministries offers.
Humbling, great group of people and content was very engaging! The volunteer event served as a important reminder to be a better person and always help if you can. In a world where you can be anything, be kind
During the mock interviews session we had 3 volunteers to our one learner, and she handled it very well! Also, when we asked about her 'why,' her story was so moving and genuine that I actually teared up.
We volunteered with SOS Villages and took 4 girls living in foster care for a night at a game room. The girls and the team really enjoyed playing games especially laser tag. It was action packed.
Leaving Benevity, the transition and implementation process was easier than expected. Very frictionless. The Percent Pledge team is so supportive.

I really like how easy it is to find charities to donate to, as well as the dashboard showing my donations to-date and available matching funds. It's nice that you can also setup the monthly donations.
Very good experience. The product is easy to use and the team is great.

Taking the time out of my day to make some tangible difference in the world feels good and shows it doesn't take much tome to do so (e.g. mapping over my lunch break).
We're incredibly proud of our employees’ engagement in OpenX Cares via Percent Pledge. We want to continue that momentum and build on the successes we’ve already experienced.

Volunteering for Worthy of Love was so special. I enjoyed every moment we spent packing the birthday party packs. Seeing children outside the Rescue Mission and knowing the bags would help them feel celebrated was such an eye-opening experience.!
Working with Percent Pledge since 2021 has been really wonderful, it has streamlined and automated our Year End Giving Campaign beautifully.

Very fun experience volunteering virtually!
High-level view of impact. It's nice to see how my organization makes an impact on a monthly basis.
A coworker and I programed Samsung Galaxy Tablets to restrict explicit content, and have multi-lingual learning apps. It was a unique experience and I loved it! The library was a great partner and made every effort to make volunteering easy.
We've seen positive results across the board and we have employees continuing to ask: ‘What are we doing next? How can I get involved?'

Volunteering was a great opportunity to connect with coworkers I haven't met before! It was nice to spend some time away from my computer, outside, and helping our beautiful city stay clean.
We have had our struggles working together and this volunteer event really brought us closer together. It was great seeing the team interact and have fun outside of work in a way that also did good!
During the volunteer event, I was really surprised to learn Metro Ministries provides so many services to our community. I also loved being able to speak to other team mates about their personal story.
Helping the Generation learners prepare for interviews felt so rewarding. It was great to be able to offer expertise, encouragement, and be a friendly space for the learners to practice interviewing and ask questions. I'd totally do this again!
Percent Pledge has been a win-win that satisfies our employees' desire to give back and makes giving an ongoing part of company culture.
Fun volunteer event - wish we could do more!
Our future software engineers had a great time building with Betterment! Your employees provided thoughtful and actionable information that will help them in their job search, and you allowed for a preview of their strengths and weaknesses in an interview!

I enjoyed putting together food kits with canned and non-perishable goods with my fellow GG colleagues. Access to food for all is something I am very passionate about so I was glad I could participate in this volunteer opportunity. I definitely plan to continue volunteering for the LA Food Bank in the City of Industry.
It was great to do something nice for someone else. As far as our team, we enjoyed seeing the competitive side of each other.
It was a fun event with the sharing of adorable photos of belugas and cute videos. I learned what a young beluga looks like, that belugas swim in groups, and what we did in the event can help advance conservation efforts using AI for classification.
Seemed like a great partner and easy to help
The hackathon was so much fun! It was volunteering with members of the company I don't normally work with on a common goal. I'm thankful for the opportunity to help a fantastic organization support their communities more efficiently.
Other workplace giving vendors required six to eight weeks of implementation. Percent Pledge was simple and smooth, only taking two weeks.

As a front-end user, the platform is incredibly easy-to-use. Also, it is very cool to have team members say: 'My company empowers me to donate to charities I care about.'
We all share a willingness to help others but often lack clarity on the most impactful way. This day, with the organized efforts and many Armis colleagues, felt like we made a positive impact for children heading into the holidays and winter.
Companies hire FTEs for social impact, but Percent Pledge does more than a person or team could.

My experience volunteering with my team was wonderful! While getting to catch up with new faces, we worked together and quickly to pack as many boxes as possible. Together, we packed 1,064 boxes!
The team made it very easy for me to contribute right away as a first time mapper. Somehow the tasks of mapping buildings wasn't tedious at all, knowing that I'm helping the people inside those buildings. What a great way to relax for an hour while doing something useful.
Experience was great. Our partners were very helpful and welcoming.
Thank you for doing this and empowering individuals within our company to give back to their communities!
Percent Pledge is a transformative platform, redefining charitable giving..
I made the pledge because I've had many small things make big changes in my life so if I can help even in a small way I hope to impact someone.
It was great coming together as a team on a giving mission. Built a stronger bond as a team.
Before Percent Pledge, we had nowhere to track volunteering or corporate donations...they were deep in spreadsheets or people's email history.
