SurveyMonkey Raises $15M for Charitable Causes, One Survey at a Time
February 18 2020 - 7:00AM
SurveyMonkey (Nasdaq: SVMK), a leading global survey software
company, has raised over $15 million for nonprofit partners, the
company announced today. With its Contribute platform, SurveyMonkey
offers charitable incentives of 50 cents per completed survey,
providing donations for partner charities of the respondents’
choice.
Introduced in 2011, SurveyMonkey currently partners with more
than 60 leading nonprofit charitable organizations, covering a
broad range of areas of need. Partners include the American Cancer
Society, American Red Cross, Larkin Street Youth Services, Humane
Society of the United States and Plant-for-the-Planet. Respondents
sign up for free, and are sent market research surveys based on the
profile they create. For each survey a respondent completes, a
50-cent donation goes to the charity of their choice from the
selection of Contribute partners.
In September 2018, the company launched SurveyMonkey for Good,
its corporate social responsibility program. Its mission is to
speak up for those without a voice to advance equality and make a
positive impact on society. One of SurveyMonkey for Good’s key
initiatives is to drive important charitable opportunities through
the Contribute platform. SurveyMonkey is known for its product-led
growth model that pioneered the survey software category, but over
the last two years, the company expanded its strategy to sell
customer experience solutions to enterprises like Salesforce,
Cisco, 3M, KLM, Sun Basket, and Chase Center. In line with this
growth, SurveyMonkey has maintained a keen interest in staying
close to what its customers and employees value most.
“Giving back is an essential element of everything we do at
SurveyMonkey, and we are deeply grateful for the millions of
participants that have volunteered their time to help us benefit
others,” SurveyMonkey for Good director Melynnie Rizvi said.
“People want the brands they trust to drive initiatives that create
a better world for us all, and we are proud to lead the
way.”
Among the program’s many partner highlights, SurveyMonkey
Contribute has played a major role in funding animal rescue teams
by donating more than $3 million to the Humane Society of the
United States. Recently, 32 beagles were rescued from an
agricultural chemical and seed company following an investigation
that revealed the animals had been fed pesticides every day for
nearly a year. More than 800 people applied to adopt the dogs,
which were all placed in homes.
Likewise, Contribute funds have benefited Larkin Street Youth
Services, a San Francisco-based organization that provides housing,
education and employment training, and health and wellness support
to help young people get off the street for good. Since 1984,
Larkin Street Youth Services has helped more than 75,000 young
people.
“We’re excited about this partnership with SurveyMonkey, which
allows us to share our awareness and share our services, but it
also gives us an opportunity to receive some unrestricted funding,”
said Deon Price, associate director at Larkin Street Youth
Services. “Those grants that SurveyMonkey’s providing will help us
fulfill our mission.”
SurveyMonkey’s most recently added Contribute partner,
Plant-for-the-Planet, gained recognition at the 2020 World Economic
Forum when Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff committed to plant One
Trillion Trees to help the environment. For roughly every two
surveys completed, or one Euro, Plant-for-the-Planet will plant one
tree.
