This was amazing! Thank you for sharing your story and your amazing insights
Big thanks to Percent Pledge and Betterment team for inspiring our children - and many of the adults in the session, including me. The volunteers were simply brilliant and the Newark Tech scholars will never forget their words of encouragement.

The team loved volunteering at Saved Me Animal Adoption Shelter and helping the dogs. We walked, fed, and cleaned the dogs and felt great to make an impact. It was amazing!
Percent Pledge's bonus is the data-driven insights that employees and admins can access via our dashboards. Opening the dashboard to see the numbers of charities we’ve impacted, engaged employees, and much more tells us a story that is much appreciated.

Percent Pledge allowed us to build a workplace philanthropy program that was grassroots and data-driven instead of us speaking for employees.

Easy to use and straightforward in the reporting.
It was a great experience to bond together outside of the studio. It was also a workout! Which was a nice change of pace to the every day flow.
I'm always amazed by the variety of organizations to support when something happens in the world. I really like that Percent Pledge makes it easy for employees and Via to get involved.

Percent Pledge was incredibly easy to implement. The tool is extremely easy to use, support is incredibly responsive to vetting and adding new organizations, and the tracking and reporting it offers means that we can responsibly manage giving campaigns without dedicated staff to support.

The overall experience was incredibly easy and collaborative. We had roughly 30 volunteers that worked on different stations including inventory and folding clothes. It not only felt like a team building event but we had the opportunity to support a great cause.
It was wonderful voluteering at a place where it felt like we were tangibly helping. Some volunteer experiences feel tailored to making volunteers feel good, rather helping the non-profit in need. Instead, this experience seemed to make a tangible difference!
Very positive volunteering experience. The unbelievably kind folks at The Bowery Mission created an environment that was so positive and uplifting --the hours flew by! I learned that there's not just a worker shortage today, but also a huge volunteer shortage.
Most efficient / UX-friendly way to donate and get matched. I've loved using Percent Pledge at my employer and make my contributions go further.
Volunteering was a well-needed break from our everyday routine.
The success of our 2023 Giving Challenge has set a new benchmark. We're excited to explore how we can push the boundaries further with Percent Pledge, making our future campaigns even more impactful and meaningful for our community and beyond.

Percent Pledge is easy to use and lets me keep track of my annual donations and employer matching, so I get a clear picture of my impact.
VidMob Gives has been a motivator for many employees to join the company, keeping it going is very important to us. Thank you!
The volunteer experience overall was positive! The learners were unsurprisingly shy, but warmed up over the 30 minutes. They were both super receptive to my thoughts, and willing to share their experiences.
It was great working with Percent Pledge in coordinating and setting up the volunteer opportunity.! The process went very smoothly.
Great product, even better team to work with. The Percent Pledge team is incredible.

I loved volunteering at the ATL Community Bank. I think the partnership was professional and amazing. I felt very grateful and happy to be giving back.
I am very happy that Betterment is working on finding ways for its employees to give back under challenging circumstances. The volunteer event was very accessible for all Betterment employees.
It was a blast to meet the organizers who are pouring their hearts into supporting their community. Was great to work with team members I don't usually work with on something that helped the org.
I made the pledge because Percent Pledge has helped us be part of making a difference and bringing about positive change in the world.
It was just an overall good experience where we got to all spend a chill afternoon together while doing something helpful for the community.
Percent Pledge allowed me to: Give easily. Give confidently.
My experience at LOR was very rewarding. While filling care packages for kids, it was heartwarming to know this organization was helping kids of all ages. I will definitely be back to volunteer again!
Percent Pledge found charities that met our philanthropic and DEI goals. We had a big goal of involving more employees in our DEI initiatives - we did just that and increased community engagement too.

I learned that there are so many different reasons why people become homeless. The local Mission allows people to work through homelessness with dignity. Wonderful volunteer event overall.!
Volunteering was extremely fulfilling. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the Per Scholas learners and conducting the mock interviews with them. The program is fantastic.
It was an enjoyable experience using Zooniverse for a virtual volunteering event. We each picked different projects to work on and were connected via Zoom to chat and share.
I really enjoyed learning how to map areas of the world where communities live but are unfortunately not yet mapped. I think this project made sense for Via since mapping is one of our core business skills, and doing it for these kind of purposes is amazing.
We saw an opportunity to help the thousands of students in New York who can't access their schools' remote learning classes. We're excited to join forces with Percent Pledge to fill this need within our community.
The highlights for me were painting the wall, hearing the story of WeNeedBooks, meeting the people behind it, and getting a sense of their impact in their community. Really grateful that Percent Pledge helped set up the opportunity.
I got to know my coworkers better and learn about a shelter here in Philly. I loved working with animals and how grateful the staff was for our help.
I made the pledge because when everyone contributes to helping others, no one is alone in the world. We're all one change away from needing others and I'm dedicated to being the change I want to see in my county.
Benevity was too expensive to expand globally. I did a cost-benefit analysis and discovered Percent Pledge accomplishes the same thing at a significantly lower cost.

My teammates and I identified animals (mostly red-headed woodpeckers) on the Woodpecker Captivity Cam. We had a great time and had great partners. Everyone got really excited about finding different animals and getting fun screengrabs.
This has been an asbolutely phenomenal experience. I'm always inspired to see young leaders stepping up and sharing their voice and vision with adults. This was a great way to hear both perspectives!
We created Black History Month educational materials. This experience was filled with so much learning, community, and joy. Truly so fulfilling to be able to meaningfully give back and contribute to such an important topic for such an amazing organization! It was so amazing to also learn more about Black History!
It was easy for me to track how much I've donated and see how much my company is willing to match. It was also great to be able to donate to organizations directly from the site instead of having to go to other websites to donate.
It would be great if we had volunteer events during the year local to our home office that could include families/children
It was such a pleasure working with Percent Pledge and Dexcom on this skills-based project. Because of all of your hard work, our patients (of all ages) will have some excellent new health educational materials.

We distributed boxes of food and I had the best time meeting the customers coming to pick up the food. It was a great feeling to be able to spend time serving people in need. I would definitely volunteer again.
During the volunteer event, I enjoyed the virtual interactive presentation put on by Metropolitan Ministries. I learned that they not only provide food and housing to people, but they also assist people in danger of becoming homeless.
Thanks for starting this initiative:)
I made the pledge to empower the people and organizations who fight every day to change the ratio.
Volunteered alongside very friendly and giving people. Wonderful experience and the time went by fast!
I made the pledge because I believe it is important to give financial resources to those organizations that strive to help less fortunate people in our communities.
I'm grateful Betterment values supporting our communities. Taking a relatively small amount of time from our work week to collectively create a big impact is incredibly rewarding.
Plus, giving employees the choice in where their contributions go has been revolutionary. Percent Pledge enabled us to empower our employees, enhancing their connection to our community and the causes they care about.

Love seeing more consistent volunteering opportunities that don't feel like one-off experiences.
It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Percent Pledge for our Bike Build Team Event. Percent Pledge took care of the logistics of the event right down to giving bikes to the children. It was such an incredible experience.

I loved this volunteer event because my team was able to focus on creating something special for a group in need and take a break from the normalcy of our day to be truly present! Together We Rise was a great fit.
It has a great UI. Has most of the charities one would want to donate to and it is easy to use.
I really love how easy this was, but also that by adding this information I learned about folks I didn't know about - which was amazing.
I love that Candid is helping us give back. It's something I have always wanted to do.
Adding a competitive element to the Giving Challenge through the leaderboards really amped up participation. It’s incredible how a bit of friendly competition can turn up the dial on engagement and results.
Running our matching program through Percent Pledge saves us so much time. It takes just 10 minutes per week to check our dashboard.

With the Passion Report, we strategically aligned our CSR efforts with our DEI initiatives. Percent Pledge layered DEI into volunteer events by allowing us to serve underrepresented communities.
We added our social impact program to job descriptions and we've had candidates say, "That's cool, I've never seen that before."

Great event - was fun and everyone embraced the opportunity to support a good cause as a team. Loved it and want more for the 1) team bonding event and 2) giving back to such a good charity!
Organizing volunteer events is a pain point as we have a small DEI team, and it's very time-consuming. Percent Pledge took the burden off our internal team!
