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.

Benevity publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Authorization API, Causes API, Giving API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Corporate Social Responsibility, Workplace Giving, Donations, Volunteering, and Nonprofits.

Benevity’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 9 more developer resources.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Benevity, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
