In 2015, Wespire launched a module to help large global corporations drive up participation in their community engagement initiatives and improve the measurement of results. This module forms a collective sense of purpose where employees can build a stronger connection with their company’s core social values.

There is a clear connection between good business and doing good. Employees care about the positive impact their companies have in the world. Offering programs that encourage community involvement not only keeps employees actively engaged and excited about work, but leads to improved recruitment, engagement, and retention. Additionally, social impact programs can increase revenue, drive innovation, and create new business opportunities by attracting more investors. In short, doing good affects the triple bottom-line.

Volunteering

Through Wespire’s platform, employees can become a greater force for good in their communities through volunteering, community engagement, and civic participation. An Event on the WeSpire platform is a discrete opportunity for an employee to get involved. It can be an “offline event”, such as an individual or team volunteering opportunity. It can also be an online event, such as a seminar, lunch & learn or remote-teaching forum. Your organization will be able to further subcategorize each event if, for example, organization’s goals would be aligned with topics such as Social Impact, Innovation, Positive Workplace culture, or Sustainability.

The Events feature has robust management functionality developed in partnership with global corporations to easily support sophisticated online and offline experiences:

• Each event can have unlimited shifts across many days
• Each shift can have unlimited roles
• Events can have multiple administration rights with varying access levels for individual networks leaders and others
• Each role can have an optional maximum number of registrants
• Each registrant can be asked to respond to custom questions upon registration (to gather preferences for t-shirt sizes or lunches, for example)
• Each registrant can be optionally allowed to register non-employee guests
• Events can be added to registrant calendars with one click
• Emails to registrants can be sent by Organizers

Giving

WeSpire delivers custom corporate philanthropy capabilities that are designed for the most challenging part of giving: getting employees to make donations and request matches. Nearly $6B goes unclaimed every year that could be going from for-profits to not-for-profits. By improving how employees are inspired to give, we can close that gap.

Companies that access Giving capabilities as part of WeSpire’s Social Impact module can create domestic and international giving opportunities for their employees. These could be in response to a disaster, align with certain key funding events, drives or challenges, or enable every day giving opportunities. Employees can make donations via credit card or Google/ Apple Pay.

WeSpire's simple and automated Giving solution coupled with our hands-on "Customer Success" model allows administrators to focus on scalability, increasing reach and impact. We deliver a Giving solution that is:

• Donation processing (including matching) is completely automated
