For Funding Sponsors
Fund community impact.
Measure every dollar.
A Funding Sponsor provides money for verified volunteer events and receives impact reporting. Local businesses can also offer Karma rewards and switch between both capabilities from one account.

Funding Sponsor FAQ
Funding impact with confidence
How sponsorships, verification, reporting, employee engagement, and brand visibility work.
Is a Funding Sponsor the same as a Perk Partner?
They are different capabilities, but a local business can use both from one account. Funding Sponsor tools handle event funding and impact reporting; Perk Partner tools handle Karma offers and in-store redemptions.
What types of sponsorships are available?
Sponsors can fund individual events, build an ongoing partner presence across multiple causes, or support larger annual initiatives. The exact package can match your budget, geography, and community goals.
How do you verify organizations before I sponsor them?
Organizations go through a review process before they can fully publish and receive sponsorship. We check identity, contact details, and basic legitimacy so sponsors are funding real community operators.
How do you verify attendance?
Attendance is verified by the hosting organization through check-in and review. Sponsor reporting is based on verified volunteer participation rather than raw signup interest.
How do you measure impact?
Impact is measured using verified volunteer hours, participant counts, Karma recognized, sponsored dollars, event outcomes, and cause categories. Reports are designed to be useful for CSR, community relations, and internal stakeholder updates.
Can my employees volunteer at events we sponsor?
Yes. Sponsors can use team volunteer tools to invite employees, track team participation, and connect sponsorship dollars with hands-on engagement.
Can I choose which causes or neighborhoods to support?
Yes. You can focus on specific causes, neighborhoods, cities, regions, or event types so your funding aligns with your company's values and footprint.
Will my brand appear on sponsored events?
Sponsored events can include brand visibility in the event experience and related reporting. The goal is to recognize support without making the volunteer experience feel like an ad.
Can sponsors support volunteer rewards directly?
Sponsors can support volunteer reward capacity so verified service can be recognized with eligible local rewards, keeping community investment circulating locally.
Do sponsors get access to volunteer lists?
Sponsors receive aggregate impact and engagement data. Volunteer personal information is not sold or handed over as a marketing list.
