Best Corporate Giving Programs: Compared (2026)
Compare 9 corporate giving programs side by side — verified data, transparent methodology, and clearly labeled featured placements.
How we rank
Rankings are computed from verified listing data: facts we could confirm from official sources, publicly stated figures where available, and verification depth. Featured placements are labeled and never change editorial order. Rankings refresh as we verify more programs — last updated October 2026.
Costco Charitable Giving
Costco's charitable giving program supports 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations focused on children, education, and health and human services. Monetary requests are accepted on a rolling basis, with one application per organization per fiscal year (September-August).
FedEx Cares
FedEx Cares is FedEx's global community engagement program, aligning the company's logistics capabilities and team-member volunteerism with nonprofits in areas such as disaster relief, entrepreneurship, and sustainable logistics. It is not run as a separate grantmaking foundation and has no open public application round; support flows through employee-driven initiatives and partnerships.
Google Ad Grants
Google Ad Grants, part of Google for Nonprofits, provides qualifying nonprofits up to $10,000 USD per month in in-kind Google Search advertising. Eligible organizations need valid charity status (e.g., 501(c)(3) in the U.S.) and verification via Google's nonprofit verification partner; government entities, hospitals, and schools are generally ineligible. Accounts must maintain a 5% monthly click-through rate and comply with bidding and keyword policies; funds do not roll over.
Home Depot Community Impact Grants
The Home Depot Community Impact Grants program (distinct from the Home Depot Foundation's large-scale giving) awards up to $5,000 in Home Depot gift cards to nonprofits for community improvement projects such as facility repairs and neighborhood revitalization. Applications are accepted through Home Depot's community grants portal.
Kaiser Permanente Community Giving
Kaiser Permanente funds community health through regional grant programs rather than a single foundation, awarding grants to nonprofits in its service areas. Priority areas include health care access and equity, mental and behavioral health, food and nutrition security, housing stability, and education - e.g., about $2.7 million to 32 nonprofits in Riverside County for 2025-2026 and a $25 million 2026 grant to Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital. KPGives is its year-round employee giving program.
Microsoft Tech for Social Impact
Tech for Social Impact is Microsoft's nonprofit technology program, providing donated and discounted cloud, productivity, and AI tools to eligible nonprofits. Offers include free Microsoft 365 for up to 10 users and $2,000 per year in Azure credits for qualifying organizations. It operates alongside Microsoft Philanthropies' grantmaking and employee giving.
Nike Community Impact
Nike Community Impact is Nike's corporate giving arm, supporting youth access to sport and play through grants and partnerships with nonprofits, schools, and community organizations. The Nike Community Impact Fund (NCIF) makes employee-led grants to grassroots organizations that get kids moving in communities where Nike employees live, work, and play; its 2026 Pacific Northwest cycle awarded $5,000-$25,000. Global initiatives include Made to Play for children ages 7-12.
Target Circle Community Giving
Target Circle Community Giving lets Target's free loyalty-program members earn votes with each eligible purchase and direct Target's charitable giving to participating local and national nonprofits (about 800 organizations per cycle). All participating nonprofits receive funding proportional to their votes; organizations typically receive $1,000-$2,000 per 90-day campaign, with every participant guaranteed at least $500.
Walmart Spark Good
Walmart Spark Good is Walmart's local community giving program, enabling stores and clubs to award grants to nonprofits in their communities.
