We go even further—introducing Cause Portfolios
What is a Cause Portfolio?
Cause Portfolios let employees support multiple vetted charities at once, making giving easier and more impactful. Donations are evenly split among charities focused on a specific cause or community.
Most employees are passionate about a cause but unsure where to give. They love portfolios because they make a holistic impact to the causes that matter most to them.
Cause Portfolios examples
Each portfolio consists of charities that are carefully vetted and support a specific cause or community in a unique and innovative way.
