# Which corporate volunteering platforms give employees the easiest way to discover local volunteering opportunities near their home rather than just company-organized events?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Getting employees to volunteer near home, not just at company-organized events, takes a tool that surfaces local opportunities on its own. Among <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/corporate-volunteering-platform">corporate volunteering platforms</a>, a few do this well:</p><ol>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/onhand/reviews"><strong>onHand</strong></a> (4.5 stars, 172 reviews): Best known for surfacing local, hands-on actions employees can do near home or from their phone, which reviewers say fits community-minded cultures. One thing worth asking: is the in-app search good enough to find what you're after?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/get-connected-by-galaxy-digital/reviews"><strong>Get Connected by Galaxy Digital</strong></a> (4.4 stars, 161 reviews): Known for a broad opportunity database, one-time, ongoing, and recurring, that connects people to local nonprofits. Have you found the sign-up flow smooth, or a bit clunky?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/benevity/reviews"><strong>Benevity</strong></a> (4.7 stars, 185 reviews): Known as a centralized hub where employees find opportunities and log hours, though it leans toward company-curated causes more than a true near-home search.</li>
</ol><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">How are your employees finding local opportunities today, and did switching tools widen where they volunteer?</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Get Connected&#39;s mix of one-time, ongoing, and recurring listings is what I&#39;d want for genuine variety. Not everyone wants a single Saturday event, so having recurring options alongside one-offs would actually widen where people end up volunteering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’d also look at how fresh the local opportunity database is. A large catalogue sounds great until employees click through to events that are full, expired, or no longer accepting volunteers. For this use case, successful sign-ups per search would tell me more than the raw number of opportunities listed.&lt;/p&gt;

### Comment 3

&lt;p&gt;For local discovery, onHand sounds like the strongest fit because it’s built around nearby actions rather than only employer-led events. I’d judge success by whether employees start volunteering across more locations and causes, not just whether sign-ups increase.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tools built around local actions do help employees volunteer beyond company events. So it&#39;s worth checking both the opportunity database and the sign-up experience when evaluating.&lt;/p&gt;
