Why Deed Clients Are Moving to YourCause

Many Deed clients find themselves outgrowing its early-stage feature maturity and lack of depth in critical CSR workflows. YourCause provides scalable, enterprise-ready employee engagement, grantmaking, and impact measurement that Deed simply hasn’t built.

High Touch, Scalable Support
Every YourCause client receives a dedicated success manager and end‑user support, something Deed’s leaner service model struggles to match.

Why YourCause Is the Better Fit for You

YourCause brings years of experience in programme configurability, reporting sophistication, and operational rigor required for complex, global social impact activity—areas where Deed’s younger platform is still developing.

Beyond the Basics Functionality
More flexibility for admins and many features that Deed fall short on, like payroll giving, volunteer incentives, custom match programmes, and integrated grantmaking.
Comprehensive Reporting
60+ standard reports and AI‑powered impact intelligence, surpassing Deed’s lighter analytics and early‑stage measurement tools.

Key Differentiators	YourCause from Blackbaud	Deed
Impact Reporting & Dashboards	60+ standard reports, AI-powered insights	Lightweight dashboards without advanced analytics
Grantmaking Functionality	Fully integrated grants management system	Only offers clunky grants through a SurveyMonkey integration
Customer Support	Dedicated success manager and end-user support	Smaller team, limited scalability
Platform Flexibility	Tailored and configurable to meet your needs	Prescriptive workflows with less customisation
Company Stability	40+ years in the business, with a strong and transparent public financial standing	Privately held company that does not disclose financial stability

The Most Robust and Flexible Corporate Impact Solution

Explore all the ways you can empower your employees to give back:

Employee Engagement

Engagement Tools Designed for Global Scale

Substance Over Style: Employees benefit from a comprehensive hub for giving, volunteering, ERGs, peer fundraising, and incentives—going beyond Deed’s focus on visual appeal.
Robust Programme Design: Create campaigns, matching programmes, incentives, and seasonal initiatives with full configuration and governance controls.
Advanced Volunteer Management: From skill‑based matching to nuanced event surveys and QR code check‑ins, YourCause gives admins tools that Deed does not.

Grantmaking

Grantmaking That Goes Deeper than a Third-Party Integration

End-to-End Grants Management: YourCause GrantsConnect is purpose-built to manage the grants lifecycle from application intake to award processing, while Deed’s grants are very limited and powered through SurveyMonkey Apply.
Integrated Workforce Insights: Understand how your employees volunteer or give to applicant nonprofits for more informed decision‑making on your grants.
Scalable Controls for Complex Programmes: Role‑based access, budget oversight, multilingual experiences, reviewer tools, and audit‑ready workflows.

Impact Measurement

Smarter Reporting Powered by Advanced AI Intelligence

Cutting-Edge AI for CSR: YourCause uses Blackbaud AI, the first and only generative AI tool for CSR teams in the market, to convert CSR data into narratives, summaries, and stakeholder‑ready insights.
Unified Analytics: Measure giving, volunteering, and grants in one comprehensive reporting environment, in a way that Deed simply can’t match.
Goal Setting & Nonprofit Discovery: Access predictive insights to help identify effective nonprofits and set measurable CSR targets—capabilities unique to YourCause.
