Is your company looking for the best way to give? Compare Millie with Benevity: with an optimized user experience, over 7 million nonprofits, charitable gifting for employees and customers, customizable features and more, incorporating CSR into your workplace has never been easier.
There are several Benevity alternatives and Benevity competitors out there; Blackbaud’s YourCause, Cybergrants, Submittable, and a handful of others, including a few startups. And while there are a lot of social impact management platform providers in the enterprise workplace giving space, we think you’ll see that our consistent focus on customer-first solutions might be the right fit for your team.
Check out a few ways we stack up:
Benevity is great, they’re helping some of the world’s largest businesses around employee engagement and CSR.
But if you're not a Fortune 500 company, you'll likely prioritize a clean and simple user interface, fast implementation time, and making sure it fits within budget—all of which are super important to us at Millie.
We know company size shouldn't be a factor in your ability to give back with their employees. Companies of any size should still have a way to give back, engage employees, and have an impact on the world around us. It's not just Benevity's focus on larger enterprises that may not make them the right choice for you. Depending on the functionality you're looking for in an employee engagement, CSR, and workplace giving software, Millie's platform could be the right Benevity alternative product for you.
Although our product is created with corporate social responsibility, community investment, and employee engagement in mind, we still want the experience of logging in and using Millie to be delightful.
Due to the nature of Benevity being an older company, their user interface can be a harder-to-use software solution.
And with Millie, everything is all under one, seamless platform without having different logins for reporting vs building like Benevity.
At Millie, our founding team comes from the design and social innovation space. Intuitive, beautiful design is kind of our thing. Which is while you’ll see that all of the tools to create a great program can be used self-service, along with our team of experts that are there to help you streamline your program. From admin setting up fundraising campaigns to employees setting up donations and nonprofits claiming their profiles in our database of organizations, every stakeholder in your Millie ecosystem will experience a streamlined and user friendly workflow.
As we mentioned in the beginning, Benevity was created for the world's largest businesses, and their pricing reflects that. For their giving and volunteering management system, Benevity pricing often reaches an upwards of $100,000+ annually. This Benevity cost is not always in every company's budget, especially those newer to corporate giving and corporate purpose programs, or smaller companies with a more realistic overall budget.
For fun, impactful, all-in-one workplace giving for all, Millie has you covered. And on budget.
From employee engagement functionality like online donations, donation matching and company volunteering to fundraising campaigns and charitable gifting, grant management, and a database of local nonprofit organizations near you, every company can leave a lasting impact with Millie…For a quarter of the price.
Millie also does not take any portion of donations processed through our system. Credit card fees still get taken by Stripe (2.2% + 30 cents) like they do on the nonprofit's website. Benevity does take a volume-based charity support fee that they deduct from the donation when the funds are distributed to the charity. So while both Benevity and Millie take care of donation processing, more of your donation will get to charities with Millie.
This generally will not affect how much you pay for a platform but instead the breadth of your overall impact.
We also are big believers in transparent pricing so it's a level playing field. You can check out our pricing tool here: Millie Pricing Tool
You'll notice the team here at Millie is hyper-focused on the one thing in the industry that we think is most important: engagement. We don't want Millie and your social impact program to sit on a shelf, so we're constantly innovating on impactful tools that will double and triple your usual engagement. We of course have the essentials – volunteer management tools, a fundraising platform, donation matching, grantmaking, a nonprofit database, analytics tools, and more— all real-time customizable. But we also have built out some special feature that will level up your social impact program.
For teams that are focused on high engagement, Giving Madness is for you. Giving Madness is a bracket-style giving tournament that allows your team to democratically pick where corporate donations should go via a 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month tournament. Learn where your team wants to give back, get everyone talking, and make an impact together. Learn more about Madness >
Charitable gift cards are another initiative Millie customers love. Send an employee a gift card that they can use to support their favorite nonprofit. Millie even allows you to set an expiration date and gift to prospective and current customers – CSR doesn't have to stop outside your office's doors!
No matter the size of your CSR team—whether you have one member or thirty—Millie is built to fit your needs. We're super focused on modern user experience and because of that, we've built tools like the Slack integration for simple, no-lift communications and engagement. With charitable giving and corporate volunteering made simple, our tools let you optimize your workflow without a heavy lift.
