This is a landing page I wrote and conceptualized to accompany a larger competitive sales push. It became the blueprint for the other 11 alternatives pages, most of which were also a part of similar sales pushes. These pages redefined our low-funnel messaging.

I wrote most of these pages and edited the rest. Most rank on page one of Google and are consistently cited by AI responses. This copy has been folded into paid ads, leading to an increase in conversion rates for our paid social efforts as well.

The Benevity alternative for CSR teams that care about employee experience

Submittable is easier (for everyone!) to use and much quicker to launch than Benevity. Plus, we’re actively developing genuine advancements in corporate giving technology.

‍

Benevity isn’t designed for how employees want to give

Benevity has cobbled together a huge platform with a ton of features thanks to a slew of acquisitions between 2018 and 2021.¹

But, it doesn’t matter how big your CSR platform is if your employees don’t like using it.

Benevity forces employees to:

Give on Benevity’s timeline, not theirs²
Navigate byzantine search functions³
Deal with unhelpful or simply nonexistent customer support⁴

As an incumbent with 68.81% of the market share, this poor experience affects us all.⁵ Industry numbers prove we need change.

71% of employees say they want employee giving and volunteering programs.⁶

19.4% of employees participate in giving and matching programs. Down 1.6% from 2020.⁷

Submittable is building CSR tech your employees will actually like using

We’re actively building new technology that will redefine the employee giving experience for years to come.

Employees can give whenever and however they like

Employees should have full agency over who they give to and when. And, they need these opportunities to give and volunteer to come to them. Submittable's Impact Wallet allows employees to:

Receive giving awards for things like wellness challenges
Give directly to organizations of their choice – yes, even sub-organizations like local chapters
Create their own giving and volunteering events
Track all their giving and volunteering in one place, including all receipts for tax season

Simple UX that doesn’t add work to their plates

Giving and volunteering programs shouldn’t create more work for employees. With Submittable, your employees will get:

Automations, like auto-logging VTO
A simple way to find and engage with volunteer events, giving campaigns, and ERGs
Integrations to meet employees where they work, whether at their desk or in the field

Customer support that truly cares

Our purpose is to help you fulfill yours. Every Submittable client gets:

Customer support for admins, employees, and nonprofits alike
Employee onboarding that’s quick and easy to learn
Quick launch times, most programs launch in less than two weeks

Benevity was great four years ago

In 2020, Benevity became a unicorn, reaching a $1.1B valuation.8 And they’ve behaved as such ever since: an acquisition spree, layoffs, and declining customer service. ^{9, 10}

Recently, we’ve heard about price hikes and what sounds like feature deprecation.

One CSR manager we spoke to ran an annual giving campaign with Benevity. In 2024, Benevity told them it wasn't possible to run that program on their platform anymore. And in a scramble to find a Benevity alternative, they found us.

Benevity is stagnating.

When evaluating CSR software, ask yourself:

Do you want a platform built for 2020? Or one working to define corporate giving in 2030?
