Impactfully No. 55: Giving employees a voice in social impact

The companies we feature each week have their own ways of driving impact, whether it's community engagement, donating money, or simply offering a product or service that makes a difference. For a few companies, they use a percentage of revenue or profit to fund a foundation that is tasked with investing in good works.

How do you decide where to make your investments? It's a philanthropic philosophical dilemma for anyone trying to make the most of the money on hand.

I'm sure we'd each have our own answers to that question, but one thing we could probably agree on is the need for a way to review the investment opportunities. Our featured company this week, Submittable, is designed to help in that regard. They're a social impact platform that helps organizations make the most of their grants and giveback programs – a few applications include managing grant requests and supporting employee giving programs.

I particularly like the latter approach, because it gives employees agency to decide how their work translates into social impact. It's one thing to say your company donates a portion of sales to charity and another to let your employees vote on who benefits. People need feedback – seeing cause and effect in social impact helps keep us inspired to face today's challenges!

Speaking of inspiration, let's dive into the latest social impact job opportunities:
