If you're like most businesses, success isn’t just about profit—it’s about making a difference. At the heart of every great company is a commitment to helping others. When your business is known for giving back and supporting the community, people take notice. Generosity leaves a lasting impact, where will you leave yours?
When you become known as a business that cares about being an important part of your community, people notice.
Why Should My Company Have an Employee Giving Campaign?
It’s a powerful way to create a culture of generosity, boost employee engagement and retention, and make a meaningful impact in your community. Offering a payroll deduction giving option is an easy and effective way for your company to support important causes while giving employees the opportunity to give back in a way that’s convenient and meaningful to them.
Research shows that true job satisfaction isn’t just about money—it’s about purpose, freedom, and making a difference. Employee giving through payroll deduction allows people to give in a way that’s both meaningful and manageable, turning small, consistent contributions into a powerful, year-round impact. It’s a great way to foster fulfillment while creating lasting change.
Increasingly, employees want to be able to choose where their gifts go and what organization(s) they will support. Providing expanded choices and giving employees freedom to designate their contributions is important. Give Nebraska is comprised of over 70 local agencies working to improve the quality of life in our community. With a donor-directed system, Give Nebraska ensures that contributions support member agencies as designated by donors. Give Nebraska doesn’t have a “fund” or allocate any dollars. It’s the donors deciding where they want their money to go and the impact they want to make.
Double Your Impact
One of the easiest ways to have a successful workplace giving campaign is to offer a company match. Not only does it increase the impact, it shows that the company cares about what their employees care about which is important for employee satisfaction and retention.
Why Does Employer-Sponsored Giving Matter?
What is it that keeps most of us from giving to charitable causes that are important to us?
It isn’t because we don’t care. More often, it’s just that philanthropy seems complicated: there are lots of choices, we aren’t sure how to donate, or we just forget to get around to it.
Workplace giving solves all of these problems. Employees can donate to a cause that they care about every month, without having to spend time and energy writing check after check. Giving small amounts automatically keeps employees from feeling financially strained, and nonprofit organizations benefit from a consistent source of funding.
Strengthen Your Community and Customer Base
Studies have shown that Americans would be likely to switch from one brand to another if the other brand is associated with a charitable cause.
The way people spend their money is a small vote for the things they care most about. If your business has a record of caring for the community, it shows.
Employee giving is just another way to give back to the place that has made your business possible.
