Case Study: Jack in the Box boosts volunteer participation and grantmaking with Submittable

Jack in the Box boosts volunteer participation 800% with Submittable

Jack in the Box's foundation sought to expand its community impact by overhauling its manual, spreadsheet-based employee volunteering program and launching a new national grant initiative. The challenges included low volunteer participation due to a closed "who-you-know" system, the complexity of starting a grant program from scratch, and an over-reliance on inefficient manual processes. To achieve its goals, the company turned to Submittable for its employee giving and grant management platform.

Using Submittable, Jack in the Box created a centralized, easy-to-use platform for employees to discover and sign up for volunteer opportunities and for nonprofits to apply for grants. The solution automated reminders and tracking, involved employees in the grant review process, and expanded programs beyond its headquarters. As a result, Submittable helped the foundation boost employee volunteer participation by 800% and achieve a 200% increase in grant applications year over year, successfully delivering $1 million annually to local communities.
