Helping Big Brands and Smart Start-ups Save Time and Give Well
Target
We’ve partnered with Target since 2019, helping to grow Target Circle Community Giving from a pilot to a cornerstone impact program loved by customers and nonprofits nationwide. Every quarter, customers vote on a dynamic set of local nonprofits for Target to fund.
We identify, vet, and engage nonprofits that resonate with Target communities and align with program needs — and we centralize and manage donation payments, compliance, and communications for thousands of small, diverse nonprofits alongside Target’s technology partner.
Together we’ve distributed $42M+ in donations to nonprofits making a difference where Target employees and guests live and work. Sign up for Circle to help your community here!
"Simple Generosity has been an invaluable partner in creating what Target Circle is today — from engaging local nonprofits that truly resonate with our Guests and the communities they live in, to always looking for ways to innovate and making a complex giving program look and feel easy."
— Target Corporate Impact Executive
THNKS
The THNKS.com marketplace gives Fortune 500 companies and individuals an easy way to spread gratitude with unique gifts that recipients can redeem or convert to a donation benefiting favorite nonprofit. THNKS partners with us to manage nonprofit vetting, donation distributions and communications, and reporting for thousands of nonprofits selected by consumers and B2B clients — including small but important community groups that require donations by check and a higher touch to ensure funds are actually received.
DailyKarma
DailyKarma’s Shop for Good platform is Shopify’s #1 cause marketing app, providing flexible e-commerce giving for brands from L’Oreal to Selena Gomez’ Rare Beauty. We helped DailyKarma keep hundreds of client cause marketing programs running seamlessly — managing donation distributions, nonprofit vetting, and fundraising compliance across a dynamic, ever-evolving group of nonprofits from Black Girls Code to The Nature Conservancy. We also collaborated to spotlight smaller high-impact nonprofits advancing causes from conservation to gender equity.
IfOnly
We helped IfOnly (since acquired by Mastercard Priceless) spend less time on the details and more time on their relationships with talent, nonprofits, and customers as part of its marketplace for celebrity experiences for good. We handled donation payments, vetting, compliance and onboarding for national and international nonprofits aligned with high-profile celebrities from the Rolling Stones to Rachel Zoe to Lady Gaga — always nimble and keeping pace with entertainment industry timelines and demands.
All Parents Welcome
We teamed up with the founder of the acclaimed DILF (Dad I'd Like to...Friend) podcast to support the creation of a new nonprofit called All Parents Welcome (APW), a coalition of parents working to build more support and inclusivity within parenting culture. The organization envisions a world with more support for birthing moms, but also for non-birthing parents, including parents through adoption, surrogacy and marriage, many members of the LGBTQ+ community and dads. We partner with APW as a fiscal sponsor and strategic advisor, providing guidance on communications and cause marketing partnerships. Stay tuned for big things from this small but mighty organization — and sign up to join the movement here!
Ribon
Awarded by the Gates Foundation as one of the world's most innovative donation technologies and selected by Blackbaud for its new Social Good Startup Accelerator, Ribon (now Roster) gives companies a fresh and fun new way to engage customers and employees through donation "tickets" they can use to support the nonprofit projects of their choice. We worked with Ribon to refine industry positioning and collaborate on strategic communications as they expanded from Brazil to the U.S. and beyond.
