U.S. Workplace Giving in 2025 Shifts Focus to Domestic Emergency Response
In 2025, workplace giving programs in the United States experienced a significant shift towards addressing domestic issues, particularly in response to natural disasters and food insecurity. This change marked a departure from the previous trend of prioritizing international aid, as seen in conflicts like those in Ukraine and the Middle East. According to data from Benevity, Inc., a provider of corporate purpose software, total donations through their platform reached $3.74 billion, a 9.2% increase from 2024. Notable domestic events that spurred this shift included the Kerrville floods in Texas and the Los Angeles fires in California, which led to substantial donations to local nonprofits. Meanwhile, funding for international causes saw a 9% decline, with organizations like Save the Children and the International Rescue Committee experiencing drops in their rankings.
