Why CSR Teams Choose YourCause Over Submittable
Submittable’s lightweight functionality and support can fall short for more sophisticated CSR initiatives. YourCause delivers the enterprise-grade flexibility, global scale, and reporting depth that growing programs demand.
- Enterprise-Ready CSR Depth: While Submittable prioritizes simplicity, YourCause delivers the configuration, governance, and program flexibility required by large, nuanced CSR programs.
- Global Giving Infrastructure: Engage employees across regions with multilingual support, 170+ currencies, and a large vetted nonprofit network.
YourCause Connects Participation, Programs, and Proof
YourCause helps CSR teams move beyond basic participation tracking to build connected programs with the reporting, governance, and flexibility needed for long-term success.
-
More Control, Less Compromise: YourCause gives admins greater flexibility than Submittable to manage giving, volunteering, matching, and grantmaking programs.
-
Smarter Impact Storytelling: Submittable tracks activity. YourCause proves impact with AI-powered insights, storytelling, dashboards, and benchmarks.

The Most Robust and Flexible Corporate Impact Solution
Explore all the ways you can empower your employees to give back:
Employee Engagement
Employee Engagement Tools Built for Simple Participation
-
Connected CSR Experience: Bring giving, volunteering, ERGs, peer fundraising, matching, and incentives together instead of relying on disparate tools.
-
Flexible Campaign Design: Run seasonal campaigns, year-round programs, disaster relief, and targeted initiatives with stronger admin control than Submittable’s simplified workflows.
-
Volunteer Management at Scale: Manage global, local, virtual, in-person, skills-based, and recurring volunteer programs with built-in tracking.
Grantmaking
When Grantmaking Demands More Than Workflow Automation
- Beyond Application Management: While Submittable is known for application intake and review workflows, YourCause delivers end-to-end grants management from application through payment, impact tracking, and reporting.
-
Connected CSR Intelligence: Incorporate employee giving and volunteering data directly into grantmaking decisions to better understand nonprofit relationships and maximize impact.
-
Built for Growth, Not Limits: Avoid the reporting gaps, workflow constraints, and scalability concerns that can emerge as grant volumes grow. YourCause provides the governance, oversight, and flexibility needed.
Impact Measurement
Reporting That Turns Data Into Decisions
- AI-Powered Impact Storytelling: Transform CSR data into executive-ready narratives, dashboards, visualizations, and stakeholder reports with Impact Edge and Blackbaud AI.
- Connected Program Analytics: Measure giving, volunteering, grants, and employee engagement in one reporting environment instead of piecing together data across separate programs.
- Strategic Insights for Future Growth: Track custom goals, benchmark performance, identify high-impact nonprofit partners, and uncover trends that help shape future CSR investments.
