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.
