Join Global Impact’s Corporate Ecosystem and be a part of a network of companies and workplaces that lead the way in increasing engagement within the workplace.
Why it matters:
About 85% of campaign administrators say one of their biggest challenges is keeping their employee giving campaigns fresh. We believe this is due to a disconnect between employee giving programs and connecting employees to the impact of the program. Programs focus on technology and less on the strategy that will engage their employees and foster meaningful connections. Global Impact sits at an important nexus within philanthropy. We take the broad philanthropic landscape, coupled with proven fundraising strategies, and produce a set of tools, resources, and approaches that are uniquely needed to drive participation and engagement in social impact programs within the workplace.
What is Global Impact’s Corporate Ecosystem?
Well you may be a part of it and not even realize it! We call our corporate network our Campaign Ecosystem. The ecosystem is comprised of hundreds of corporate contacts and employee engagement professionals that engage with us and our Charity Alliance in a variety of ways. You might access our Employee Giving Hub to find powerful stories and image to use in your campaign; you may have signed up for our newsletters and receive regular communications on engagement opportunities and blogs; or you may work with us to implement an aspect of your social impact program like your employee assistance program, grantmaking, employee giving program, or have hosted or attended our events.
Our tools at work:
- Need an activity for Take your Child to Work Day or help planning something for World Hunger Day? Our monthly emails offer specific charity engagement opportunities to aid in your planning. Last month we featured CARE’s International Women’s Day campaign and employee activities from UNICEF USA, World Vision, and Islamic Relief USA in celebration of World Water Day.
Want in? Email us and we’re happy to add you to our list!
- Struggling to engage employees, yet having a bit of event and volunteer burnout? Enter: Global Impact’s events! We offer turnkey, public events and private, custom events that showcase our Charity Alliance members and the power of giving global. At the end of the day, your employees want ways to connect with each other around their shared desire to change the world. Showing them the power of giving can help you meet that need.
Want to see one in action? Check out our most recent webinars.
- You’ve probably heard of the Employee Giving Hub, which offers support to professionals working in employee giving, corporate social responsibility, or related environmental, social, and governance work. The hub provides fundraising best practices, tips and tools, event planning resources, key worker trainings, and more to help boost fundraising at their companies.
Access the Employee Giving Hub anytime.
- Have you ever considered the nonprofit partners your employees are supporting as your marketers? Well, if not, you are missing a big opportunity. Nonprofits are eager to promote workplace giving to donors, particularly when there are matching dollars at stake. Global Impact provides our Charity Alliance members with key marketing insights on employee giving programs so they can become your marketers! They will do email outreach to their donors (your employees) during your campaign and can feature programs that relate to your theme or philanthropic pillars you might also be promoting. They may even market with social media ads or through other mediums to reach and inspire your employees. (See our example in GeekWire, targeting Microsoft employees during their Giving Month.)
Provide Global Impact your campaign dates, matching information, and any other details so you can add free marketers to your team.
- Whether your campaign has a set timeframe or is evergreen, it’s critical to engage employees during key giving moments, like GivingTuesday, emergencies, or popular observance days. Global Impact can help you make a plan to tap into these opportunities. Reach out to be paired with one of our team members. Global Impact’s campaigns team has a wealth of knowledge and experience in building campaigns and inspiring giving.

- Call us biased if you want, but we’re huge fans of giving to global causes. And why wouldn’t we be? Even the smallest donations make a huge difference when directed to international development and humanitarian aid work — and it remains an incredibly popular avenue for giving amongst Americans (probably because it’s such a critical area of giving). Anytime you need support amplifying global causes, we’re the team that can help. Global Impact has an alliance of leading, international charities we can introduce you to, and we house their beautiful marketing materials on the Employee Giving Hub for you to use anytime!
Looking for something specific or need someone to bounce ideas off of? We are here to help generate ideas and content for marketing materials, employee events, volunteer initiatives, and more.
- Did you know that non-traditional giving (think individuals, informal groups, etc.) is a rapidly growing area of philanthropy? Consider how you are capturing and inspiring this kind of generosity within your program. This is a core component of our clients’ employee assistance programs (EAPs). We ensure that their employees not only can get assistance when needed, but gives other employees the opportunity to give back when their colleagues are in need.
Interested in our EAP offerings? We specialize in these programs and can help you launch or revamp your company’s program!
Our mission at Global Impact is to inspire greater giving. That means we are always trying new and innovative ways to build partnerships and opportunities for charitable giving. By working together, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to make a positive impact. Join us in our mission!
