Safe Volunteering and COVID-19
Your team can still help others in need during COVID-19 as we offer safe online volunteering opportunities. Once COVID-19 is brought under control, you’ll see more in-person and volunteer travel opportunities become available.
Did you know?
Your employees have 10 times more social reach than your brand accounts. People say friends and family are their most trusted source of product and service information. When your company values social impact people notice, your employee’s notice, and the world sees another side of the brand.
The bottom line is: Employee Advocacy Matters.
Why You Need the Impact Connect Volunteer Program
Show Your Team You Care
People want to work for an employer who shares their values and genuinely commits to good causes.
A subscription to Impact Connect clearly shows that commitment and makes employee recruitment and retention and recruitment that much easier.
Save on Admin Time
Employee volunteer management doesn't have to take time away from other important business tasks.
With Impact Connect, we handle this admin for you, while making sure that you can easily get the info you need from your customized dashboard.
Adaptable Employees = Competitive Advantage
We find you volunteer roles that utilize your employees' special skills. The result? Better outcomes for their chosen causes, as well as opportunities to develop valuable new insights and competencies simply by stepping outside of their comfort zone.
Humans Not Robots
In the age of slick apps and chatbots, we’re unashamedly hands-on in the way we deliver our service to you.
Our small team will be with you every step of the way, with a dedicated, friendly account manager just an email or phone call away.
Delivering on Your Commitment to Diversity
Big traditional charities already get the most attention, so instead, we choose to focus on a diverse range of overlooked community and individual causes where your people's time and skills will make a real, sustainable difference to the lives of others.
Maximize the Good Your Money Can Do
Volunteering builds individual and team capability, making this a great investment.
Communities also benefit not once but twice: firstly through the efforts of your volunteers, secondly because we reinvest all Impact Connect subscription profits back into community projects.*
* Dear God Are We There Yet? is a registered 501(c)(3) charity behind Impact Connect. All profits from Impact Connect are put into the $100k for 100 Communities Campaign which is currently open to funding applications and will launch in April 2021.

So while we don't accept money on behalf of any other not-for-profits. We are able to connect you with organizations that do. When your employees do make donations to these causes, they can choose to enter details of these donations into their Impact Connect web portal. This info is tracked for your whole team, allowing you to easily monitor and match your employee's donations if you wish.
We also track volunteer hours, so set a goal and we will help your organization achieve and even surpass it.
