Case Study: Fortune 500 Financial Services Company cuts administrative burden and boosts employee engagement with Benevity's Spark

Get More Strategic with an Integrated Approach to Workplace Giving

Fortune 500 Financial Services Company, which runs workplace giving, volunteering and grants programs for more than 25,000 U.S. employees, struggled with three separate, error‑prone platforms that caused payroll deduction and match processing mistakes, incorrect nonprofit payouts, slow verifications, high support volume and manual, time‑consuming reporting. Seeking an integrated solution, the company selected Benevity’s Spark giving and engagement software to simplify program management and improve the user experience.

Benevity implemented its Spark platform—combining giving, volunteering and community investment with a transparent charity support fee model—and delivered an intuitive, self‑serve interface plus configurable scheduled reporting. The result: support requests dropped dramatically, the eight‑person program team regained time for strategy, and employees gained dashboards to track donations and matches; from launch in 2014 through 2016 volunteer hours grew 60% and individual dollars donated rose 29%.
