Benevity

Benevity is a Calgary-based corporate purpose software platform for workplace giving, matching, grantmaking, and employee/customer volunteering. Its Giving API lets partners embed nonprofit-of-choice donations, optional matching, and charitable gift cards into e-commerce, banking, and rewards experiences; the Cause Search API exposes Benevity's vetted global nonprofit database; the Spark API lets existing Spark Employee Engagement clients surface giving and volunteering opportunities in other interfaces; and the Location Services API lets clients manage locations (stores, franchises, offices) inside the Benevity ecosystem. The API follows the RESTful/OpenAPI standard and is documented publicly at developer.benevity.org, but credentials are partner-gated - access requires requesting a demo/business relationship with Benevity rather than self-serve signup.
