How Corporate Giving Works: Company Wallets Explained

Each company sets a giving budget that is automatically allocated into individual Company Wallets. Every employee receives an equal share and can vote for the causes they care about. Once they choose, 100% of the funds go directly to the charitable causes, powered by Mastercard’s secure payment rails. No middlemen. No hidden fees. Just transparent, bottom-up giving.

This turns a traditional CSR budget into a powerful engagement tool — employees help decide where the impact goes, and companies build a culture that feels fair, inclusive, and human.

Employees can choose to add their own voluntary contributions through the Payroll Wallet. Donations are deducted directly from their payslip, making it the simplest form of employee giving. It’s flexible, digital-first, and aligned with what Gen Z and Millennials expect from modern benefits: autonomy, purpose, and effortless participation.

Every giving cycle, employees vote on a curated list of local and global charitable causes. The company’s shared impact becomes a reflection of its people — their values, their voices, their priorities. The result is a culture of belonging rooted in action, not slogans.

Real-time dashboards show participation rates, top causes, donation distribution, and engagement insights — helping leaders measure cultural impact in a simple, data-driven way

Actnation is built to run smoothly in the background, making giving simple for everyone. Alongside employee voting and automated donations, the platform offers a shared dashboard where the company can highlight its own initiatives — from volunteer programs and sustainability efforts to internal campaigns and community projects.

The dashboard becomes a living snapshot of the organisation’s collective impact:

• employee participation

• top causes and donation distribution

• engagement trends

• featured company initiatives (e.g., volunteer hours, themed campaigns, special events)

It’s a transparent, real-time view of what the company and its people are creating together. Employees feel connected to a bigger story, and the organisation can continuously surface the actions and values it wants to amplify — not through slogans, but through visible behaviour.
