“Our new platform is creating a direct link between technology and philanthropy, helping to turn the tide of environmental giving by empowering a younger demographic to engage and donate through their workplace.” – Jon Cocina, SVP of Impact at EarthShare.

According to Giving USA, only three percent of total philanthropic giving goes to environmental causes, and 50-70% of donors to environmental non-profits are 50 years of age or older, reinforcing the critical need to make philanthropy more accessible to a wider and younger group of potential givers who say climate should be prioritized to ensure a sustainable planet. To help democratize giving and make it easier and more affordable for SMBs to launch and manage employee engagement programs, EarthShare partnered with Givinga to create a modern cloud-based platform, utilizing Givinga’s Philantech, that equips EarthShare customers with a customizable and transparent solution to cultivate everyday philanthropy in the workplace. Philantech is the only solution designed to fully integrate giving into a customized workplace experience at any scale.

“As a B Corporation committed to sustainable business practices that benefit our community and the environment, it is critical to provide our employees opportunities to participate in our mission and reinvigorate their philanthropic passion through workplace giving,” said Shanon Tysland, CEO and founder of Seattle-based Experience Momentum. “EarthShare’s enhanced platform will allow us to lead by example as a purpose-driven organization better positioned to attract and retain employees who are as passionate as we are about supporting environmental causes.”

Through a centralized hub for environmental action, SMBs that deploy EarthShare’s platform will now be able to:

• Provide their employees with access to a vetted network of EarthShare nonprofit partners, as well as access to more than 1.4 million global charities to support through giving or volunteering.
• Offer employees a carbon offset calculator that delivers insight into personal carbon emissions and that provides subscription options for offsetting carbon footprints for themselves and their families.
• Offer access to expert content, including guidance on giving and philanthropic opportunities that enable employees to contribute to important global environmental issues.
• Easily manage back-end functionality, including tracking and reporting on employee donations and engagement campaigns, through an administrative portal.
• Enable matching gifts to employees so they can distribute funds with the opportunity to create public fundraising pages to engage external stakeholders.

“Our mission as an organization is to expand the number of supporters in the environmental movement and we are confident that Givinga’s technology will help to make this mission a reality, especially for SMBs and purpose-led organizations that are committed to making a positive environmental impact for generations to come,” said Jon Cocina, senior vice president of impact at EarthShare. “Our new platform is creating a direct link between technology and philanthropy, helping to turn the tide of environmental giving by empowering a younger demographic to engage and donate through their workplace.”
