Why Deed Clients Are Moving to YourCause
Many Deed clients find themselves outgrowing its early-stage feature maturity and lack of depth in critical CSR workflows. YourCause provides scalable, enterprise-ready employee engagement, grantmaking, and impact measurement that Deed simply hasn’t built.
-
Fast, Predictable Donation Delivery
Funds delivered to over 100,000 charities in just 2–5 days, ensuring global donations flow reliably and transparently. -
High Touch, Scalable Support
Every YourCause client receives a dedicated success manager and end‑user support, something Deed’s leaner service model struggles to match.
Why YourCause Is the Better Fit for You
YourCause brings years of experience in program configurability, reporting sophistication, and operational rigor required for complex, global programs—areas where Deed’s younger platform is still developing.
-
Beyond the Basics Functionality
More flexibility for admins and many features that Deed fall short on, like payroll giving, volunteer incentives, custom match programs, and integrated grantmaking. -
Comprehensive Reporting
60+ standard reports and AI‑powered impact intelligence, surpassing Deed’s lighter analytics and early‑stage measurement tools.

The Most Robust and Flexible Corporate Impact Solution
Explore all the ways you can empower your employees to give back:
Employee Engagement
Engagement Tools Designed for Global Scale
-
Substance Over Style: Employees benefit from a comprehensive hub for giving, volunteering, ERGs, peer fundraising, and incentives—going beyond Deed’s focus on visual appeal.
-
Robust Program Design: Create campaigns, matching programs, incentives, and seasonal initiatives with full configuration and governance controls.
-
Advanced Volunteer Management: From skill‑based matching to nuanced event surveys and QR code check‑ins, YourCause gives admins tools that Deed does not.
Grantmaking
Grantmaking That Goes Deeper than a Third-Party Integration
-
End-to-End Grants Management: YourCause GrantsConnect is purpose-built to manage the grants lifecycle from application intake to award processing, while Deed’s grants are very limited and powered through SurveyMonkey Apply.
-
Integrated Workforce Insights: Understand how your employees volunteer or give to applicant nonprofits for more informed decision‑making on your grants.
-
Scalable Controls for Complex Programs: Role‑based access, budget oversight, multilingual experiences, reviewer tools, and audit‑ready workflows.
Impact Measurement
Smarter Reporting Powered by Advanced AI Intelligence
-
Cutting-Edge AI for CSR: YourCause uses Blackbaud AI, the first and only generative AI tool for CSR teams in the market, to convert CSR data into narratives, summaries, and stakeholder‑ready insights.
-
Unified Analytics: Measure giving, volunteering, and grants in one comprehensive reporting environment, in a way that Deed simply can’t match.
-
Goal Setting & Nonprofit Discovery: Access predictive insights to help identify effective nonprofits and set measurable CSR targets—capabilities unique to YourCause.
The YourCause platform was the best decision for not only me to use, but for the entire company.
