Donating to Causes You Care About is Easy with YourCause
By Kelly Eisenhardt
More and more companies are offering employee engagement programs within their benefits package. It is a winning benefit for the employee, the company, the nonprofits and those the nonprofits serve. While there are multiple platform providers that support employee engagement programs there is only one that has always ensured that no portion of the donation is deducted to cover the platform providers’ operational expense…YourCause.
Matt Combs is Founder and CEO of YourCause, LLC. He has been involved in start-ups since graduating from Cornell in 1999. The year of 2007 spawned an idea that changed his life. A boy named Patrick, a former child soldier in the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), shared his story on a cable documentary that stopped Matt in his tracks. ‘What can I do?’ was one his first thoughts. With a background in internet and technology, the idea led him to launch YourCause.com. Originally a B to C platform, in 2009 the concept of YourCause shifted to the enterprise space and became the first technology provider to globally consolidate core Employee Engagement programs within a white label platform to build online communities for corporate programs.
