Benevity

"Last year, the company saw 50% of their employees (that’s more than 12,000 do-gooders!) vote for their top cause in one day."

"Race Forward was struggling to move all of our work to remote platforms—while simultaneously meeting extraordinary new demand to provide racial justice training, equity practice, and narrative work to partners across the country. And then we started receiving donations from people through Benevity. We felt seen. Lifted up. Appreciated. Surrounded by partners in the fight for racial justice. And over the course of three months, Race Forward’s work was elevated from one company to another, and lifted up by one employee gift after another, until—instead of looking at the dread of cutbacks to our programmatic work in 2021, we were able to recommit to our partners with renewed sense of purpose in our work of catalyzing the racial justice movement."

"We launched a Missions pilot, and in just three weeks, we saw 45% engagement, with an average of 5.9 activities per participant. We posted two new Missions activities each week, and each time engagement spiked. We saw super users from all demographics and departments, and they kept going after the pilot period. We didn’t use any incentives or rewards. They wanted and needed this."
