50+ Companies That Donate to Nonprofits (2026 Guide)
June 8, 2026
⚡TL;DR — The Short Answer
Verdict: A practical directory of 50+ corporate giving programs, organized by type, with direct application links and eligibility notes on every entry.
What works: Employee matching gifts, volunteer grants, and foundation grant cycles are the most accessible entry points for most nonprofits.
What doesn't: Cold outreach without relationship-building rarely converts; most large foundation grants are invitation-only.
Best for: Nonprofits ready to diversify revenue beyond individual donors and looking for specific programs to apply to right now.
Worth considering if: Your supporters work at large employers with matching-gift programs, that is often the fastest corporate dollar you can unlock.
Most corporate-giving listicles read like brand encyclopedias: paragraphs of CSR backstory and zero ways to actually ask. If you run a nonprofit, you do not need to be told that Google is generous. You need the application link, the eligibility note, and the program type, on every entry.
This guide is built that way. Below is a directory of 50+ companies that donate to nonprofits, grouped by program type, with a direct application or request link and a one-line eligibility note for each entry. Skim by category, click through to apply.
U.S. corporations contribute roughly $21 billion to nonprofits each year, much of it through employee matching gifts, volunteer grants, foundation grants, in-kind donations, sponsorships, and community giving programs. Where your nonprofit fits depends on your cause area, your geography, and how many of your supporters work at companies with a matching-gift program.
Corporate giving at a glance
Corporations donate an estimated $20 to $26 billion each year (source: industry estimates from corporate giving research organizations).
Sponsorship makes up roughly 12% of a brand's marketing budget on average.
71% of employees say it is imperative or very important to work in a culture that supports giving and volunteering (source: America's Charities workforce research).
Employee matching gift programs: when an employee donates to your nonprofit, the company matches it (often 1:1, sometimes higher).
Volunteer grant programs (a.k.a. "dollars for doers"): the company donates to your nonprofit when one of their employees volunteers a set number of hours.
Foundation grant programs: the company's foundation makes direct grants to nonprofits, usually with a published application window and eligibility criteria.
In-kind and product donations: the company donates goods, software, services, or surplus inventory rather than cash.
Corporate sponsorships: the company funds your event, campaign, or program in exchange for brand exposure.
Community development and local giving: location-based programs that fund nonprofits in cities or regions where the company operates.
Most large companies run two or three of these at once. We have placed each company under its strongest program below, with cross-references where relevant.

Begin by building a relationship, not making an ask. Identify companies that already support causes similar to yours. Look at the company's mission, recent giving history, and employee engagement programs. Once you find a fit, send a personalized message highlighting shared values. Show them the impact their support could make, and ask for a meeting to explore alignment.
Pro tip: a warm intro (through a board member, volunteer, or mutual contact) opens more doors than any cold email.
Research funders whose mission, giving priorities, and geographic focus align with your work. Community foundations, local corporations, and national grant databases are all good starting points.
Carefully read each grant's requirements. Check eligibility, deadlines, word counts, and what they do and do not fund, so you do not miss a small detail that costs you the opportunity. It helps to know what type of grant you are looking for, whether operational, marketing, or start-up.
3. Gather key documents
Prepare a grant toolkit you can reuse. Common documents include:
Mission and vision statement
IRS 501(c)(3) letter
Organizational budget
Program budget (if applying for a specific initiative)
Use the application to show both your heart and your impact. State the problem you address, how your work solves it, and what outcomes you expect. Use data and real stories together.
5. Make it measurable
Funders want results. Outline how you will measure success: years in operation, number of people served, outcomes improved, systems changed.
6. Follow instructions (to the letter)
Stick to word limits, formatting, and submission guidelines. If they ask for three outcomes, give them three, not five. This shows respect for the process and attention to detail.
Give yourself buffer time to handle tech hiccups, last-minute edits, or required signatures. A rushed application is easy to spot.
8. Follow up with gratitude and updates
If awarded, send a thank-you note and update the funder on your progress. If not awarded, politely ask for feedback and stay in touch for the next round.
Corporate giving is a real revenue line for small nonprofits. Matching gifts, volunteer grants, and foundation cycles can add a meaningful percentage to your annual revenue when you target companies that already align with your mission and build the supporter relationships that put your nonprofit in front of an employee match.
What corporate giving programs cannot do is offset platform fees on the receiving side. When a corporation sends you $5,000, your nonprofit should get $5,000, not $4,700 after platform and processing fees.
That is what Zeffy is for. No platform fee, no transaction fee, no credit card fee. Ever. 100K+ nonprofits use Zeffy to receive donations, run events, manage donors, and accept corporate matching gifts, with $2B+ raised on the platform to date.
Microsoft, Google, Walmart, Disney, and Bank of America are among the largest corporate givers in the U.S. Most large public companies set aside roughly 1% or more of profits for corporate giving, typically through a mix of foundation grants, employee matching, volunteer grants, and in-kind donations.
Corporate giving signals to customers, employees, and investors that a company stands for something beyond its products. Donating to nonprofits aligned with the company's stated values is one of the most visible ways to show commitment to those values. Charitable contributions are also tax-deductible, which lowers a company's tax burden.
Follow these steps to reach local businesses: (1) Research your locality and build a list of potential partners. Look for businesses that share your mission and values. (2) Build a compelling pitch focused on the benefits of supporting your nonprofit: community goodwill, increased exposure, employee engagement. (3) Define a clear agreement outlining responsibilities on both sides. Be flexible to their needs. (4) Once you secure the donation, thank them publicly and quickly. For a deeper dive, read the corporate sponsorship guide.
Many companies give in ways unique to their business. Grocery and restaurant chains donate surplus food to community food banks. Tech companies donate software licenses, cloud credits, and devices. Logistics companies donate shipping for disaster relief. Professional-services firms donate pro bono hours (legal, accounting, design, technology). Some companies also run training and youth education programs that nonprofits can plug into directly.
A volunteer grant program (sometimes called "dollars for doers") is a corporate program in which the company donates to a nonprofit based on how many hours one of its employees volunteers there. Grant amounts scale with hours logged. Companies often limit eligibility to nonprofits whose work aligns with their giving focus areas, and some exclude certain categories of organizations.
An employee donates to your nonprofit. The employee submits a match request to their employer (usually through an internal portal). The employer verifies the donation, then sends a matching gift directly to your nonprofit, typically 1:1 (some companies match at 2:1 or higher for specific causes or institutions). To be eligible, your nonprofit usually needs to be a registered 501(c)(3) and listed in the employer's giving platform.
