Case Study: Berkshire Bank achieves 100% employee volunteer participation and $3M in annual grants with YourCause

Berkshire Bank - Customer Case Study

Berkshire Bank, a Massachusetts-based bank with more than 2,000 employees, needed to scale and better measure its corporate social responsibility programs—employee volunteering, company-matched giving, and grantmaking—after outgrowing an in-house database. To centralize and streamline those efforts, the bank turned to YourCause for purpose-built employee giving, volunteering, and grantmaking solutions.

YourCause’s platform automated tracking, improved data integrity, and freed staff to focus on strategy rather than administration. As a result, Berkshire Bank achieved 100% participation in its volunteer program, supports $3 million in annual grant funding, met a 2018 goal to impact 1 million people through volunteering, and demonstrated higher retention among employees who volunteer two or more company events.
