Case Study: RBC saves 1,000 hours a year and scales global volunteer grants with Benevity

RBC saves 1,000 hours a year with Benevity

RBC (Royal Bank of Canada), a major global financial institution, faced a challenge with its rapidly growing global employee volunteering and grant program, the Communities Together Fund. While employee participation accelerated, the operational processes were highly manual, creating administrative burdens, operational risks like currency errors, and limiting the capacity of its small team. They partnered with Benevity to address these inefficiencies.

Benevity implemented an integrated solution by connecting its Grants Management and Volunteering modules into a single system. This automated workflows, eliminated duplicate data entry, and processed grants in local currency. The results for RBC were a 67% reduction in manual process steps, 1,000 work hours saved annually, and the distribution of $4.8 million in grants. By using Benevity, RBC freed up significant team capacity to focus on strategic growth and strengthening community partnerships.
