Seemed like a great partner and easy to help
The hackathon was so much fun! It was volunteering with members of the company I don't normally work with on a common goal. I'm thankful for the opportunity to help a fantastic organization support their communities more efficiently.
Other workplace giving vendors required six to eight weeks of implementation. Percent Pledge was simple and smooth, only taking two weeks.

As a front-end user, the platform is incredibly easy-to-use. Also, it is very cool to have team members say: 'My company empowers me to donate to charities I care about.'
We all share a willingness to help others but often lack clarity on the most impactful way. This day, with the organized efforts and many Armis colleagues, felt like we made a positive impact for children heading into the holidays and winter.
Companies hire FTEs for social impact, but Percent Pledge does more than a person or team could.

My experience volunteering with my team was wonderful! While getting to catch up with new faces, we worked together and quickly to pack as many boxes as possible. Together, we packed 1,064 boxes!
The team made it very easy for me to contribute right away as a first time mapper. Somehow the tasks of mapping buildings wasn't tedious at all, knowing that I'm helping the people inside those buildings. What a great way to relax for an hour while doing something useful.
Experience was great. Our partners were very helpful and welcoming.
Thank you for doing this and empowering individuals within our company to give back to their communities!
Percent Pledge is a transformative platform, redefining charitable giving..
I made the pledge because I've had many small things make big changes in my life so if I can help even in a small way I hope to impact someone.
It was great coming together as a team on a giving mission. Built a stronger bond as a team.
Before Percent Pledge, we had nowhere to track volunteering or corporate donations...they were deep in spreadsheets or people's email history.

We helped package groceries at the SF Marin Food bank. It was a great experience. They do an amazing job of including the volunteers and really hustling us to get the job done. They took care of our safety and explained our contribution. Was truly a wonderful experience to help and I hope we can do so again soon.
Great product! Ease of use - everything is in one location so folks can more easily remember (which helps a ton) - since that's what we're trying to do here anyways -- HELP (others)!
Betterment participates in more volunteer projects than anywhere I've worked, especially in a team-building capacity. Once we locked down for the pandemic, I wasn't sure how this would work, and I am glad Betterment found such a perfect virtual solution.
It was a great way for the team to connect outside of the regular business day, and also to help others.
Percent Pledge and Zoonivurse was such a pleasant way to contribute asynchronously with a group.
I enjoyed the volunteer experience especially the part about Hidden Rules which explain how we see Possessions, Money, Food and etc based on our experiences.
Mustard tree was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable interacting with a wide variety of people. I was helping out in the food club, where we provided a range of food items to about 130 members of the community, all of whom were lovely and very grateful.
I'm really loving these Percent Pledge Community Volunteer Events!

Volunteered with Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team - mapping buildings for covid vaccine distribution. This was really great to learn about - I will be spending some time reviewing open street maps and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) this weekend!
Our main challenge has always been improving communication and raising awareness for the Giving Challenge, our Foundation, and Percent Pledge. I appreciate how Percent Pledge has adapted alongside us, fostering significant learning and growth.

It was a great experience to volunteer at organization with my coworkers.

It was great to have the company's support to serve our less-privileged neighbors. Little Essentials appreciated our help with sorting donations. Collaborating with the Armis team, from new employees to senior leadership, was a rewarding experience that strengthened our teamwork.
I made the pledge because I want to support organizations whose work brings us closer to racial justice #BlackLivesMatter.
Words cannot fully express my gratitude for you and the employee volunteers who supported today's event. Percent Pledge is the real MVP for brokering such a powerful and meaningful connection. THANK YOU!!

This volunteer experience was extremely enlightening and taught me many things that as a white man I plan to use to be a better ally to the Black community.
I love these new Community Volunteer Events, keep doing them!!
I made the pledge because I want to be able to help with issues that are important to me.
We love being able to contribute to local causes easily via Percent Pledge!
My experience was informative and motivational. It further commits me to volunteering and contributing to the mission of Metropolitan Ministries.
The one point that stood out the most for me was when talking about African American community marching and protesting, and the root of why they were doing so.
I would recommend Percent Pledge because you're so organized. You have a very quick turnaround and responses when we want to do something further. I also love the aspect that every communication is customized to Via.
I made the pledge because I love animals and the environment. The charities are vetted, and the process was easy.
Percent Pledge gave us an outlet and experts to build an engaging social impact program. We didn't buy into a service, we found a true partnership.

I love this volunteer project and would like to thank everyone at the UCLA Eye Clinic for helping the diabetes community in so many ways and for working to provide resources for people who need it.
We worked in the pantry packing boxes and building boxes. It was great to be with coworkers in person and to connect outside of work.
We partnered with Percent Pledge because it allowed us to engage employees in giving successfully at scale. Our company is rapidly growing worldwide, and we wanted to reaffirm that we care about employees as individuals and what matters to them.

I want to say thank you for sharing your story and talking about black history with us here at Feedonomics. Loved the saying about sending the elevator down, that is really true. Help others! Thank you again.
First time volunteering with Percent Pledge. Was very pleased with how easy it was to learn the activity. Enjoyed the speaker encouraging group interaction. Loved that I could help right from my computer!
This volunteer event a great experience. I always enjoy Map-a-thons and the hosts are so nice and make the whole event amazing.
Helping women with the skills needed to start or change careers was a worthy cause. It was great to be able to help the candidate shine by helping with her resume, interview techniques, and LinkedIn profile.!
Great event - was fun and everyone embraced the opportunity to support a good cause as a team. Feels like we should be doing things like that more often 1) as a team bonding event but also 2) to give back to such a good charity
I made the pledge because this is awesome.
Me and 16 Vidmobbers did a mapathon and it was great! Openstreetmaps and Percent Pledge were great to work with. I had no idea that almost 1 billion people lived in areas that were not mapped. It was mind blowing and exciting to think that such a simple task could make such a big impact.
We are big on feedback, so the Passion Assessment was huge for us. We knew that it was built for our team and not just another pulse survey.

Percent Pledge researches nonprofit partners thoroughly to ensure our program aligns with our values and their solution is flexible so we can involve Via's different offices at different levels, which is really helpful and unique.

I made the pledge because I believe in this platform to create change.
Gaining additional awareness and understanding around the issues surrounding this community was extremely valuable in the volunteer experience. Looking forward to sharing this awareness with friends and family.
I felt humbled by what I was doing and who I was doing it for. I'd love to do more volunteer events.
I made the pledge because I think giving back should be a part of everyday life.
With Percent Pledge, we shattered our goal with 90% participation! There is no way we would have been able to accomplish this ourselves. You have exceeded our goals with more to come!

I had a great experience volunteering. The people were super kind and extremely organized. I learned just how much of an impact Metro Ministries has from this opportunity. It was exciting to see how many people want to give back to their communities.
I made the pledge because I wanted a seamless way to continue giving back!
This was my first time attending a mapping event and I am glad that I did. It introduced me to something that I had never thought about before.
I had such an amazing time participating in Pride! I recently joined Dexcom and was able to get involved very quickly. Marching in the parade made the work I do everyday so worth it! I loved the comradery it built amongst my fellow coworkers.
I made the pledge because I want to help improve the lives of others.
Our experience was great. We volunteered to walk dogs with a local south Philly shelter. It felt good to give back to some sweet pups in need.
Percent Pledge allowed us to formalize a social impact program that's personalized to Feedonomics - and it's been wildly successful! Now it's easy to engage employees and measure our community impact.

Great virtual volunteer event. I enjoyed watching the videos of visitors of woodpecker cavities. It was fun and educational.
I love anything animal based! my contribution was 108. love helping out in anyway i can and the team made it engaging with questions, videos, etc. it made the time go by so quickly!
Taking part in the mock interviews was a great experience. As a woman in tech, the advice I was able to give from experience also helped me to remember things for my own personal journey.
We volunteered at a dog shelter! I was able to walk a dog and feed him treats. It was nice to give back with my team and it was a fun day.
I made the pledge because now is a critical time to make an ongoing, reliable impact.
This was an incredible learning and volunteer opportunity that will allow me to continue to contribute globally in my spare time.
It felt great to help the shelter and be with my team outside of work. It was special to be helping something we all have a passion for and was a great bonding experience!
