What does the Community Reinvestment Act mean for your CSR program?
The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requires banks that operate in the U.S. to invest in the communities they serve. Some CSR programs and employee volunteer hours can count toward that requirement.
CRA examiners review data provided by banks for three things: accuracy, completeness and eligibility. If tracking is inconsistent or the data doesn't map qualifying volunteer opportunities correctly, you could lose credit for those programs and hours spent in your communities. That's why building the right infrastructure for purpose-driven programs matter.

It’s CRA volunteering data, delivered
Built in employee volunteer reporting workflows
Your employees log hours. Your CRA team gets data they can use.
CRA Reporting is built directly into Benevity Volunteer workflows where employees track their community hours. It captures volunteer activity, helps geocode to low- and moderate-income (LMI) areas and is aligned to CRA standards.

- Configurable, CRA-specific form fields help capture the right information, including service type, role and location, when an employee enters their time or when a volunteer opportunity is created.
- Address validation and geocoding are applied to every entry, helping to confirm whether the activity location falls within a designated LMI area.
Customized CSR admin tools
CSR volunteer administrators have a dedicated workspace to access summaries by CRA category, number of eligible hours, qualification statements and the ability to review, edit, confirm or decline eligibility without requiring employees to resubmit their volunteer hours.
- Employee volunteer time tracking and volunteer opportunity submissions can be reviewed, confirmed or declined for CRA eligibility.
- Add categories, flag eligible hours and attach internal notes without touching the original employee volunteer time submission.
One structured report your CRA partners can work from
When your CRA team needs the data, you simply export the report. CRA-aligned volunteering data is available in Benevity Reporting Studio, where your team can quickly filter and export when needed.
It’s clean, structured volunteer source data your CRA officer can trust to work from or upload into their CRA platform.
