Case Study: NorthRock Partners boosts employee engagement in social impact with Submittable

NorthRock Partners sees ongoing employee giving with Bright Funds

NorthRock Partners, a financial and lifestyle advisory firm, wanted to make philanthropy more accessible for employees while supporting a more engaged company culture. To do that, it looked for a platform that could make giving and volunteering easy for both administrators and staff.

Using Submittable’s employee giving and volunteering platform, NorthRock launched programs in 2021 that included giving credits, donation matching, board service, impact councils, and timely campaigns for urgent causes. The results included $15,000 in matching funds donated in 2022, 56% employee participation in at least one program in the first three months, 98% attendance at its first Juneteenth event, and more than 54% participation in the first six months of 2023 across programs benefiting more than 20 nonprofits.
