Hey everyone, founder here.<p>We've always done work in the social good sphere, primarily working with non-profits directly. Once we reached the point as a company where we started offering benefits, we wanted to do offer something that would stand out and attract people who value impact and giving back.<p>We actually tried to run a program on our own, but found that even with just 4 employees, it was surprisingly difficult. When we looked at existing software solutions, they were all expensive and aimed at enterprise companies.<p>From that Patronage was born, and our employees are now able to give up to $100 a month, which we match with a single credit card transaction at month's end.<p>Happy to answer any questions about Patronage, or about what it's like running a donation matching program.<p>Also curious to hear from others who've either had experience with these programs at current or past jobs, or considered starting them as a startup/small business.
Not having to be the one to separately keep track of receipts between me and the HR folks sounds much saner. Just adding a charity, seeing the breakdown of how much the company would match, and then just snapping and uploading receipts as I give or a set amount to auto-deduct, then logging in and seeing breakdowns of what was given each month and totals makes it easier to see just how much I'm helping out the cause. Looks nice.
