GIU Approved on Benevity — Workplace Giving Just Unlocked

We have big news. As of April 9, 2026, Greatness In You (GIU) is officially approved on Benevity — the world's largest corporate giving platform. This unlocks an entire new category of donor for GIU and changes the math on every gift our supporters give.

What this means in plain English

If you work at Microsoft, Google, Apple, Salesforce, Adobe, Cisco, or any of the thousands of companies that use Benevity for employee giving, you can now donate to GIU directly through your company's portal — and most likely, your employer will match your gift dollar-for-dollar (some companies match 2:1 or even 3:1).

Translation: a $100 gift becomes $200 to GIU, automatically, with zero extra cost to you. A $250 gift becomes $500. A monthly $50 commitment becomes $100/month for GIU. The match is real, the process takes 5 minutes, and we don't have to lift a finger to receive it.

Why Benevity matters

Benevity isn't just a giving platform — it's a vetting layer. To be approved, GIU had to pass their compliance, transparency, and impact review. Combined with our Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency (top 1% of nonprofits), this is a third independent validation that GIU's books are clean, our impact is real, and our governance meets the highest standards.

Beyond Benevity, we're also live on Every.org — a direct giving platform that supports credit card, bank transfer, stocks, crypto, and donor-advised funds, and automatically checks if your employer offers matching gifts.

How to give through your workplace

It's three steps:

1. Log in to your company's giving portal (often labeled 'Giving', 'Volunteer', or 'Community' on your intranet).

2. Search for 'Greatness In You' or our EIN: 92-2122500.

3. Choose your amount, hit submit. Your employer match is applied automatically.

We built a full guide explaining the process, FAQs, and direct links at giyou.org/get-involved/workplace-giving — bookmark it and share it with anyone who's ever said "my company matches donations."

What's next

We're applying to additional workplace giving platforms (YourCause and Bright Funds are in progress) and we'll share updates as each one comes online. If you work at a company that uses one of these platforms and you'd like to help expedite GIU's approval, please email info@giyou.org — your internal advocacy makes a real difference.

Every door we open, every barrier we remove between a Ghanaian child and their education, starts with a generous person who decided to give. Benevity just made it easier for thousands more of those people to find us.
