RW Institute is conducting the fourth edition of our independent technology review. We're evaluating the platforms that power corporate social impact, from volunteer management to grants administration to employee giving. No solution provider pays to be included. No one pays to be excluded.
The 2019, 2021, and 2023 reviews helped map a fast-changing market. The 2026 edition goes further.
Every solution provider gets the same survey. Every response goes through the same evaluation framework. Where solution providers haven't completed their survey, we fill in what's publicly available and flag the gaps. The goal is to give CSR practitioners a clear, comparable picture of what each platform actually does, not what the marketing site says it does.
Every platform now claims to be "AI-powered." That phrase tells practitioners almost nothing. So we built a three-tier classification framework that separates machine learning, generative AI, and agentic AI capabilities. The framework evaluates what the technology actually does, not what the solution provider calls it.
We also pre-filled each solution provider's survey using public data and information from the 2023 edition. Solution providers are reviewing and correcting, not starting from scratch.
The following 51 vendors are included in the reviewed public roster. The latest verified project tracker recorded 33 submitted surveys, 0 in progress, and 18 pending or not started. Formal solution-provider survey collection closed June 26; corrections and profile updates are still being accepted during the content-review phase. If your platform should be here and isn't, contact us at techreview@rw.institute.

The earlier RW Institute Technology Reviews remain available for practitioners, funders, researchers, and solution providers who want to compare how the corporate volunteering, giving and grants platform market has changed over time. Select the editions you want, complete the form, and the digital downloads will appear on this page.
We ask for a few details before downloads so RW Institute can understand who is using the research and send the 2026 edition when it is published.
If your solution helps companies manage volunteering, giving, or grants and you're not on our list, we want to hear from you.
