What is StratusLIVE Give at Work Corporate Social Responsibility software?

StratusLIVE Give at Work is cloud‑based CSR software that lets companies run employee giving, matching‑gift, and volunteer programs on one platform. HR and CSR leaders can streamline workplace giving, measure social impact, and raise employee engagement while integrating with existing nonprofit CRM systems and Microsoft tools.

How quickly can we implement StratusLIVE CSR software?

Rapid setup and deployment tools enable CSR teams to launch workplace giving or volunteer campaigns in days rather than months.

How does the platform support corporate volunteerism?

Built‑in volunteer management lets employees search opportunities by ZIP code, radius, or cause and sign up individually or as a team. Managers can track volunteer hours, participation rates, and impact metrics alongside giving data.

What real‑time CSR analytics and reporting are available?

On‑demand dashboards surface key metrics such as donor counts, total gifts, average gift size, volunteer hours, and one‑time versus recurring gifts. A modern data warehouse powers custom slices, visualisations, and exportable reports.

Which payment methods can employees use to donate?

Employees can donate via credit card, PayPal, Google Pay, payroll deduction, PTO conversion, bank transfer, cash, or cheque.

Does StratusLIVE CSR integrate with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and other systems?

Yes. The CSR and nonprofit CRM modules are built on Dynamics 365, hosted in Azure, and include open APIs for HR or ERP integrations.

How do CSR programs drive higher employee participation?

AI‑powered prompts, step‑up giving suggestions, gamified incentives, and community groups encourage year‑round engagement. Personalised dashboards show each employee’s impact, boosting motivation and retention.

How secure is our data on the StratusLIVE platform?

All StratusLIVE solutions are hosted in Microsoft Azure and NTT Data Centres with enterprise‑grade encryption, 24‑7 monitoring, role‑based access, and disaster‑recovery protections.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is workplace giving?

Workplace giving is a fundraising strategy that enables employees to donate to nonprofit organizations through employer-sponsored campaigns. These campaigns may include payroll deduction, credit card giving, recurring pledge schedules, and designation options that allow donors to direct gifts to specific causes or organizations. For United Ways and federated nonprofits, workplace giving programs serve as a critical revenue channel and a way to build long-term corporate relationships within their communities.

What is workplace giving software?

Workplace giving software is a digital platform that allows organizations to create, manage, and report on corporate fundraising campaigns. A modern workplace giving platform typically supports payroll deduction pledges, credit card donations, designation management, campaign reporting and revenue analytics, and employer and donor engagement tools. For United Ways, workplace giving platforms must support both corporate partner requirements and CRM data management.

How do payroll deduction campaigns work?

In a payroll deduction campaign, employees pledge a recurring gift that is deducted directly from their paycheck over a defined campaign period. Employers typically remit collected funds back to the nonprofit organization on a scheduled basis. Advanced workplace giving platforms can manage payroll file processing, installment tracking, and designation reporting to ensure accurate reconciliation and financial transparency.

Do all workplace campaigns require payroll file management?

No. While some large employers require payroll file integration and identity validation, many employers prefer simplified digital campaigns that do not require employee roster uploads or single sign-on configuration. Give at Work lets you match the campaign structure to the employer's needs, from streamlined activation models to fully integrated enterprise campaigns.

How can United Ways compete with CSR platforms?

United Ways compete most effectively by offering strong local relationships, flexible designation options, transparent reporting, and scalable campaign models that meet employers where they are. By combining both streamlined and enterprise-level campaign capabilities, United Ways can expand into employers who have never participated in traditional payroll campaigns while maintaining complex corporate relationships.

What size employer is best for a workplace campaign?

Workplace campaigns can be successful across employer sizes, but the structure should match the organization's internal capacity. Smaller and mid-sized employers often benefit from simplified digital campaign models with minimal administrative lift, while large enterprise employers may require payroll file processing, single sign-on integration, and customized campaign environments. Give at Work enables both within one unified strategy.

Can smaller companies run workplace giving campaigns?

Yes. Many smaller companies are interested in supporting local community initiatives but may not have CSR teams or payroll integration capabilities. Streamlined workplace campaign models allow these employers to participate through templated campaign experiences, simple payment options, and fast deployment, reducing barriers to entry and expanding corporate engagement opportunities.
