The rules of charitable giving are changing, and for companies, executives, and employees alike, 2026 will mark a clear turning point.

New charitable tax rules are coming. Federal funding for nonprofits continues to retract. Expectations around corporate purpose, transparency, and employee engagement are rising. And yet, many workplace giving programs were built for a very different era—one where giving was seasonal, siloed, and often disconnected from broader business strategy.

At Givinga, we saw this moment coming.

That’s why we’ve launched our 2026-ready Workplace Philanthropy Suite—a modern set of tools designed to help organizations adapt, plan ahead, and lead with intention as the charitable giving landscape evolves.

Why 2026 Changes Everything

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) introduces meaningful shifts that will reshape how giving works:

• A universal charitable deduction for non-itemizers, opening the door for millions of employees to receive a tax benefit for giving for the first time

• Changes to donor-advised fund treatment, requiring more thoughtful structuring

• Corporate giving floors, pushing philanthropy further into the executive suite and finance function

• Continued pullback in federal funding, increasing pressure on nonprofits to rely on private-sector leadership

Together, these changes mean one thing: giving can no longer be an afterthought. Organizations that prepare now will be far better positioned to lead in 2026 and beyond.

A New Approach to Workplace Giving

We built the workplace philanthropy suite to meet organizations where they are—whether they’re navigating tighter budgets, rethinking employee engagement, or formalizing giving strategies at the executive level.

The suite brings together several complementary capabilities:

1. Universal Sponsored Account (USA): A company-branded charitable fund that allows employees to contribute and take advantage of the new universal charitable deduction, while enabling organizations to activate generosity across their workforce without increasing corporate spend.
   
   For companies facing shrinking 2026 giving budgets, the USA offers a way to:

   1. empower employees to participate meaningfully,

   2. rally teams around shared purpose, and

   3. track and report collective impact.
      
      

2. Charitable Investment Account (CIA): An executive-class donor-advised account that supports strategic giving at the leadership level, including:

   1. immediate charitable deductions,

   2. tax-free investment growth, and

   3. the ability to donate appreciated securities held over one year, eliminating capital gains while offsetting income, bonuses, or equity events.

   The CIA is designed to sit alongside existing corporate giving programs, giving executives a more sophisticated way to align philanthropy with financial planning and leadership responsibility.
   
   

3. Grant Management & Disbursement Infrastructure: Modern tools for CSR teams and corporate foundations to manage grants, payments, and reporting with financial-grade transparency and compliance.

Built for Flexibility. Designed for Compliance.

One of the biggest challenges companies face today is complexity—different giving tools, disconnected systems, and growing compliance requirements.

Our approach is simple: build flexible solutions on a single, compliant foundation. Every part of the workplace philanthropy suite is powered by Givinga’s financial-grade infrastructure, ensuring:

• regulatory compliance,

• transparent fund movement, and

• minimal administrative burden for internal teams.

The Role Companies Will Play Next

As federal support continues to recede, corporations will increasingly be called upon to fill the gap, not just financially, but as leaders. That leadership will belong to organizations that:

• plan early,

• empower employees,

• treat giving as a strategic function, and

• invest in systems built for the future.

Our goal at Givinga is to make that leadership possible by giving organizations the tools to act with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Looking Ahead

The Givinga’s workplace philanthropy suite is available now, and we’re excited to work with organizations that are thinking ahead to 2026 and beyond.
