YourCause, provider of CSRconnect Employee Engagement Platform, and Heartland Payment Systems, Inc. (NYSE: HPY), a leader in online payment processing in the United States, announced a strategic partnership providing YourCause clients an additional credit card payment distribution functionality. The new option will offer the industry’s lowest credit card processing rates for all donations transacted through YourCause’s CSRconnect platform. The flexibility of this model allows clients to construct a unique processing configuration that will reduce overall credit card program fees by nearly 50 percent, translating into additional funding for the recipient charities.

“YourCause has become a leader within the employee engagement space by focusing on delivering each user’s personal philanthropy in the most efficient and effective manner possible,” stated Matt Combs, CEO and founder of YourCause. “Our partnership with Heartland is a direct result of our business seeking to harness the power of our core products and services to drive a level of optimized impact that has never been seen throughout the world. Both leadership teams believe in the greater good of what we can do and ensuring that the products offered are a continual demonstration of this.”

Within the three weeks since the beta of the combined platform launched, the partnership has resulted in over $25,000 in additional funds being donated to hundreds of different charities. 

“We are excited to create this partnership with YourCause to enable nonprofits to invest more dollars into their missions, rather than their operational costs,” said Adrienne Rubin, director of Nonprofit Solutions at Heartland. “Heartland is committed to the success of our local nonprofits. Our special nonprofit pricing and waiver of other regular processing fees is our donation to support organizations making a difference in local communities across the nation.”

Heartland Payment Systems and YourCause continue to investigate additional partnership options that could serve both for-profit and nonprofit organizations.
