Each year, America’s Charities processes more than one million donations and disburses more than 40,000 payments to qualified nonprofits. SmartSimple, in turn, provides its Platform3 technology, used by more than 350 organizations worldwide, averaging more than 270,000 unique monthly users across more than 192 countries. The result is America’s Charities Engage, powered by SmartSimple, a comprehensive solution that brings together the best technology and service for organizations that want to make a long-term, meaningful difference.  

“Engage is the synthesis of two industry leaders that have come together, bringing what they do best to benefit companies, causes, and communities across the planet,” stated Mike Reid, COO & Co-Founder, SmartSimple. “Engage is a CSR solution like none the world has ever seen, and one that we badly need if we are to achieve a better world. The UN SDGs are a shared global blueprint for a better world, and we are proud to provide a solution that helps businesses seamlessly align its values and activities with select global goals. Whether you’ve adopted the SDG framework or use your own proprietary CSR framework to guide and focus your philanthropic and CSR efforts, Engage can be tailored to suit your needs.”

Engage helps organizations ensure the passion of its people and philanthropy shine through. It can help articulate a company’s corporate values, build buy-in from senior leadership, bolster an authentic corporate culture, improve recruitment and retention efforts, burnish a brand, inspire employees to make a difference and make it fun – all the while delivering on a company’s external promise to be responsible and benefit society as a whole. What’s more, Engage helps companies celebrate their achievements through the use of easy-to-use data visualization and social sharing tools.

“The world we live in is changing rapidly and businesses have a social contract – with their stakeholders and workforce – to act responsibly and bring their influence to bear for the greater good," added Starr. "Leaders who want to get out of the weeds and focus on what matters – living their values, building their culture, and making an impact – deserve Engage's flexible, seamless technology platform and the most comprehensive support currently available. We will be there to guide you through every stage of your journey, from site build to launch, from measurement to reporting, and beyond. From employee engagement to grantmaking, Engage is ready for companies that want to scale their social impact all under one roof.”
