A connected approach to employee engagement and corporate grantmaking

Corporate social impact programs succeed when employees participate and stay engaged over time. But too many organizations struggle with low retention, disconnected systems, and reporting processes that require manual effort across multiple tools.

As the only AI-powered CSR solution that combines the most engaging employee giving and volunteering app with the most flexible self-serve enterprise grantmaking experience, Bonterra Deed helps organizations increase participation in social impact initiatives (e.g., employee giving, volunteering, matching gifts, fundraisers, and ERGs) through a modern, mobile-first employee experience. For employees and administrators alike, participation becomes fun, easy, and accessible.

Evaluating how Deed’s solution fits into your CSR and ESG strategy

Bonterra Deed, as an integrated impact solution, brings employee engagement and corporate grantmaking together through two interconnected product experiences: Deed Engage for employee engagement and Deed Grants for enterprise grantmaking. Together, they help organizations increase participation, streamline administration, and build one unified view of impact across CSR initiatives.

Better together: Connecting participation, funding, and impact

Too often, employee engagement and grantmaking operate in separate systems. Employee participation is managed in one platform, while grantmaking is managed in another. Meanwhile, effective reporting requires manually reconciling data across multiple tools to understand overall performance.

Bonterra Deed brings these experiences together through a connected ecosystem and a single data layer. When employee engagement and grantmaking operate within the same platform, organizations gain a more complete view of participation, funding activity, and impact outcomes. Employee actions can be connected to community investment strategies, while CSR leaders gain the visibility needed to understand and communicate total program performance.

The result is a more unified approach to corporate social responsibility — one that makes it easier to increase participation, simplify administration, and demonstrate impact to leadership.

Which solution is the best fit for your organization?

The right starting point depends on your organization’s priorities and CSR strategy.

If your primary goal is to increase employee participation and engagement through giving, volunteering, ERGs, and community impact initiatives, Deed Engage is the ideal place to kickstart this growth.

Organizations looking to modernize grantmaking operations, reduce administrative complexity, and gain greater flexibility across funding programs may find Deed Grants better aligned to their needs.

For many organizations, however, the greatest value comes from using both solutions together. By connecting employee engagement and grantmaking within a single integrated solution, organizations can create a more unified approach to social impact while gaining a clearer view of participation, funding activity, and overall program outcomes.

Whether your focus is employee engagement, enterprise grantmaking, or both, Deed Engage and Deed Grants provide the necessary foundation for a more connected, measurable, and scalable social impact strategy.
