Whether you want to support extra matching, top up your employees' donations, give to team events, or simply support nonprofits in and around your community, you can do it right from your Admin dashboard. These payments are aggregated and disbursed with all the other donations and matches already being sent to nonprofits, so there's no extra work for them.

Anyone with the Awards Manager user role can make a corporate donation.
Submitting a corporate donation
Follow these steps to submit a lump sum donation from your company directly to a nonprofit.
-
Select Manage > Company Giving > Corporate Donations.
-
In the Donate To section, select the correct country from the country menu, then search for the nonprofit in the Add Cause field.
-
In the Donation Amount and Currency section, enter the total amount in the Donation Amount field and select the currency from the Donation Currency menu.
- If the nonprofit is located outside of your enabled country experiences, you can choose the currency you want to pay in.
- If the nonprofit is located in a country where you have enabled a country experience, the payment is made in the local currency of that country.
-
In the Charity Comment section, enter your name in the Name field and a message in the Comment field. Both fields are required. The nonprofit can access these comments in their Donor Summary reports, generated with each disbursement. This is a good place to capture details like why the company is supporting this nonprofit or how the nonprofit supports your company's initiatives.
-
In the Options section, add any relevant context for the donation:
- Tags: Categorize the donation. Tags cannot be modified once the donation is made.
- Reporting Tags: Apply reporting labels to the donation. This field is only available if Reporting Tags is enabled for your program.
- Find a User to tag: Enter 4 or more characters of the employee's email address or username, then select from the dropdown to associate the donation with a specific employee.
- Find a Giving or Volunteer Opportunity to tag: Start typing the opportunity ID, then select from the dropdown to link the donation to an existing opportunity.
- Find a Team to tag: Start typing the team name, then select from the dropdown to associate the donation with a team.
This information is used to report on corporate donations in Benevity Reporting. It is not shared with any individual, team, or nonprofit, and has no effect on the associated giving or volunteer opportunities.

Any tags, users, teams, and opportunities you added also appear. Select Make changes to this donation if you need to edit anything before submitting.
