Social Impact employee programs

Employee volunteering

At LinkedIn, our employees are some of the greatest ambassadors leading our social impact efforts. Employee involvement can range from leadership opportunities as Social Impact leads in our offices, bringing nonprofits they care about to our offices for LinkedIn Coaches sessions, signing up for our hundreds of volunteer events, or learning about and serving on nonprofit boards through our partnership with BoardLead.

Employee giving

We stand behind our employees' individual giving and volunteering by matching their individual charitable donations 1:1 up to $15,000 per year. Employees can also set up fundraising campaigns using LinkedIn’s giving platform to support the nonprofit programs most important to them and their communities. Fundraisers can be shared within LinkedIn and externally to friends or family or on social media. Please note that contributions made by friends and family outside of LinkedIn are not eligible for our match.

Employee volunteering

Employee Social Impact leads in 30+ offices held over 650 volunteer events, engaging thousands of employees and impacting hundreds of thousands of lives. The majority of these volunteer activities were undertaken in partnership with local community partners closely aligned with the LinkedIn Social Impact mission of helping people facing barriers to economic opportunity build networks.
Fundraising

In 2018, we supported 1,170 nonprofit organizations through our employee collective giving efforts. Our summer interns often lead the way with employee fundraisers through our Intern for a Cause program, where they build campaigns supporting five local community nonprofit partners such as Girls Who Code, Boys and Girls Club, and Downtown Streets Team.
