A corporate foundation in a box.
Cauze gives your CEO a Corporate Advised Fund — the power of a corporate foundation without the legal entity, the overhead, or the 18-month setup. Use philanthropy to drive business goals while doing real good.
Let's Talk →Your ESG and CSR teams do important work. But philanthropy shouldn't live in a silo — it's a strategic tool that belongs in the CEO's toolkit, with applications across sales, marketing, and HR. Cauze brings those teams together on one platform to build loyalty and engagement across the three groups that matter most: your employees, your customers, and your communities.
Use giving to open sales meetings, thank clients meaningfully, learn what your stakeholders actually care about, and connect your brand to the causes that define your company — all while doing genuinely good work in the world.
And you don't need to be a Fortune 500 to do it.
Most CEOs think corporate philanthropy requires a massive budget and a dedicated team. It doesn't. Cauze runs on budgets you already have — sales, marketing, HR. A 10-person company can use Cauze Gifts to open doors just like a 10,000-person company uses matching to engage employees. The platform scales to you.
Gifts of Good
Send charitable gift cards to clients, prospects, and partners. Use them to open sales conversations, close deals, thank customers, or reward referrals. Tax-deductible for you. Memorable for them. When they redeem, you learn what causes they care about — that's revealed preference, not survey data.
Matches — Beyond Employees
Match donations from employees, yes — but also from customers, communities, and entire geographies. Run a matching campaign for your city. Let customers double their impact at checkout. Matching becomes a strategic lever, not just an HR perk.
Curated Cauzes
Create branded collections of nonprofits that connect your company's brand pillars to real causes. Environment, education, local community — whatever matters to your business. Your stakeholders don't just see your values, they participate in them. That's the difference between a press release and a movement.
Real-Time Intelligence
See what your employees, customers, and communities actually care about — in real time. Cause affinity by geography, department, customer segment. This isn't a quarterly CSR report. It's a live signal about your stakeholders' values that informs marketing, HR, and corporate strategy.
Every company talks about values. Almost none bring their stakeholders actively into the conversation. That's the missing piece.
Cauze doesn't just let you give — it lets your employees, customers, and communities give alongside you. When stakeholders participate in your philanthropy, they don't just see your values. They share them.
From passive to personal
Give every employee a personal giving account. They discover causes through each other, not a dropdown. Participation climbs when giving feels like self-expression, not corporate obligation. Accounts are portable — they follow the employee if they leave.
From transaction to relationship
Send Cauze Gifts after a sale. Offer matching at checkout. Let customers join your branded Cauzes. Every interaction becomes a values-aligned touchpoint — and you learn what your customers care about in the process.
From sponsorship to partnership
Run matching campaigns for your city. Curate Cauzes around local causes. Let community members choose where your corporate dollars go. That's not a logo on a banner — it's real, participatory engagement with the places you operate.
