01
Designations by spreadsheet
An employee pledges to an agency through a company campaign, and getting that dollar to the right place is a manual routing exercise across three systems.
Ignite Partnerships
Run the wholegiving network.
Ignite Partnerships is the workplace-giving and agency engine: corporate campaigns, designation processing, and agency onboarding running on the same platform that holds the constituent record.
- Give at Work campaigns
- Agency network onboarding
- Designations on one record
Community Impact

The federated tax
The network runs on spreadsheets and a legacy portal.
Corporate campaigns, member agencies, and designations move through tools that were never built to talk to each other.
02
Onboarding agencies dread
Member agencies re-submit paperwork through tools built for a different decade, and the friction costs participation the network cannot afford to lose.
03
No view of the whole network
The corporate campaign, the distribution, and the impact live in separate places, so nobody can show what the network achieved together.
The operating system for regional philanthropy.
The corporate campaign and the member agency are two ends of the same record, not two systems someone reconciles at quarter close.
Workplace giving
Campaigns that route themselves.
Give at Work runs corporate campaigns end to end, and the designation travels with the gift from the employee who pledged it to the agency that receives it.
- Payroll file generation with multiple payroll schedules per company
- Payroll deduction, PTO donation, and corporate SSO
- Reconciliation, participation tracking, and CSR reporting

Agency network
Give every agency a modern way in.
Agencies join through an onboarding flow that verifies them once and puts them to work, instead of a paperwork exercise that repeats every year.
- IRS EIN verification and compliance document handling
- Invitations, approvals, and profile syndication across the network
- Bulk user invites and role-based access for partner staff

One network
Show what the network achieved together.
Federated financial operations and impact reporting run on the same records as the campaign and the agency, so the network total is a real number instead of an assembly job.
Designation processing
The pledge carries its designation through the platform, so routing the gift is not a separate reconciliation project.
Distribution calculation
Federated revenue is split and distributed by the platform that holds the campaign and the agency record.
Fund accounting for the network
Federated revenue is accounted for alongside the rest of the platform record, not in a parallel ledger.
Cross-agency deduplication
Community impact intelligence reports donor-gift-through-outcome across agencies without counting the same supporter twice.

Questions
Asked by every network that switches.
Direct answers, because you've sat through enough vendor slides.
Book a working sessionWho is Ignite Partnerships for?
Federated fundraisers first: United Ways and community foundations running workplace campaigns across corporate partners and member agencies, where campaigns typically drive the majority of revenue. Standard nonprofits use it to manage corporate giving relationships and receive workplace designations.
How do designations get to the right place?
Workplace gifts carry their designations through the platform, from the corporate campaign to the member agency, with designation processing and distribution calculation handling the routing and the accounting. The employee pledge, the company campaign, and the agency distribution are one connected record, not three reconciliation projects.
What does it take for an agency to join the network?
Onboarding with IRS EIN verification and compliance document handling, then invitation and approval. Once approved, the agency profile syndicates across the network, partner staff are added by bulk invite, and role-based access scopes each partner organization to its own data and reporting.
Can we report on the whole network, not just our own campaigns?
Yes. Community impact intelligence reports donor-gift-through-outcome across campaigns and agencies, with cross-agency deduplication so a supporter who gives in two places is counted once. CSR reporting is ESG-aligned for corporate partners who need it in that shape.
Is Partnerships a separate system from the rest of Ignite?
No. It is a module of the Ignite platform. Workplace campaigns, designated gifts, and agency records live on the same platform as CRM, fundraising, and finance, so the federated side of your operation is not a second system to keep in step.
