Challenges is Benevity's next generation social impact product that helps CSR leaders engage employees through gamified activities. It empowers people to take small actions around shared interests that drive meaningful impact at work, in the community and beyond.

What are examples of Challenges?

Challenges are centered around topics like sustainability, wellness and inclusion that give employees opportunities to learn, change small behaviors and be the best citizens they can be. Some examples include: cycle to work every day for one week; establish a sleep schedule; listen to a podcast from the LGBTQ+ community.

Can I choose which Challenges I'd like to use?

Yes, Benevity offers a catalog of Challenges for you to choose from, around the topics of sustainability, wellness and diversity, equity and inclusion. The Challenges catalog will be updated regularly with new content and categories. You can also feature specific Challenges.

Can I create my own Challenges?

Yes! In just a few steps, you can create and publish your own Challenges.

Can I use Challenges with other Benevity products?

Absolutely! Challenges integrates seamlessly with the Benevity platform, including our Donate, Volunteer and Employee Groups modules. It's a great way to spark engagement — often serving as an easy, accessible first step in an employee's social impact journey.
