Bright Funds

Bright Funds is a workplace-giving, corporate grants, and employee volunteering platform (now part of Submittable) that lets employers run donation, matching-gift, and volunteering programs for their employees and route funds to vetted nonprofits. The platform operates a live OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 authorization server at www.brightfunds.org for single sign-on and API integrations (authorization_code, client_credentials, and refresh_token grants; RS256 id_tokens; openid/profile/email/write/update scopes). It publishes a PGP-signed security.txt but no standalone developer portal or OpenAPI specification. Surfaced as a portfolio company of Bloomberg Beta and enriched into the API Evangelist network from its public identity and well-known discovery surface.

Bright Funds is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Workplace Giving, Corporate Social Responsibility, Employee Engagement, and Nonprofits.

Bright Funds’ developer surface includes support, engineering blog, authentication, and 13 more developer resources.
