Did you know? Corporate giving is one of the fastest, most scalable ways to grow your nonprofit’s revenue! 📈
The problem? Every year, more than $5 billion in matching gifts and corporate donations goes unclaimed. 😱
The good news: with Pledge’s free corporate giving tools, nonprofits can easily tap into brand partnerships, employee donations, and cause-marketing campaigns - all without extra overhead. 💸
Here’s how to double down on corporate giving and unlock sustainable revenue streams for your mission. ⤵️
1️⃣ Automate Matching Gifts & Employee Engagement 👩💼
Corporate matching is one of the most overlooked fundraising tools out there. With Pledge:
- 💼 Built-in matching tools prompt donors to double their gifts
- 🎁 Pledge Wallets enable employee giving campaigns inside corporate benefit platforms
💡 Inspiration: Prodege activated Pledge Wallets for their employees, making it simple for staff to support vetted causes year-round — boosting morale and impact through our multi-year partnership!
2️⃣ Launch Branded Corporate Fundraisers 🏢
Companies want turnkey ways to give back. With Pledge’s branded fundraiser pages and (new!) corporate campaign pages (see image below), nonprofits can:
- Co-host campaigns with partners
- Showcase real-time impact
- Build long-term revenue from corporate sponsors

💡 Inspiration: SCGA partnered with Pledge to create a co-branded fundraiser page that aligned their nonprofit’s mission with a corporate partner’s audience — resulting in new donor reach and bigger gifts.
3️⃣ Power Cause-Marketing Campaigns (E-Commerce & Beyond) 🛍️
Brands are baking donations right into customer experiences. With Pledge’s Give & Grow Shopify app, your nonprofit can be featured in e-commerce checkouts and product sales.
💡 Examples:
- rhode beauty (Hailey Bieber’s brand) integrated Pledge donations directly into sales to support Rhode Futures Foundation.
- NeuroGum uses in-cart giving to engage customers while supporting mental health initiatives.
- Once Upon A Farm offers donations at checkout and embeds donations with select product sales, in addition to a donation widget on their corporate impact page (check out their Pledge Impact Calculator that shows 900,000+ meals donated to-date, in real time!).
👉 Cause marketing campaigns like these let companies fundraise for you with every transaction.
4️⃣ Leverage Digital Experiences (APIs, QR & Text-to-Donate) 🔗
Thanks to Pledge’s API and integrations, there are new touchpoints with donors that can be leveraged anytime to benefit your organization. Here are a few:
- 🎉 Evite added Pledge to event invitations, turning parties into fundraisers.
- 🎟️ RallyUp partners with Pledge for ticketing & sweepstakes

Why Corporate Giving Works (Especially Now) 💡
✅ Big budgets, big impact: Corporate social impact budgets are built for scale
✅ Employee engagement = loyalty: Workplace giving boosts retention for companies
✅ Baked-in generosity: Donations integrated into products & platforms create recurring revenue
In short: corporate giving isn’t a bonus strategy anymore. It’s essential for nonprofits that want to survive and thrive in 2025.
