Fees in Workplace Giving: Selecting the Right Technology and Service Provider

Is your company’s employee giving ROI as good as it could be? The number of vendors offering software and services to support workplace giving programs has exploded in recent years, offering companies more choices than ever before. But with choice comes confusion. Nearly every one of these vendors offers a different suite of services — and a different fee structure. Some charge a flat fee up front. Others charge employers a percentage of the amount donated to charities. Still others pass along the cost to the charities that receive the funding. And many serve up a combination of these and other fees. Whether you’re a large corporation or a small company, a few simple questions can help you understand the technology, services, and fees associated with employee giving and engagement technology and services.

This guide will help you make more informed choices about the value of your purchase so you can get the most bang for your company’s buck.
