What's new for Benevity products in March

Find out what’s changed and what’s coming soon across Benevity products this month.

 

Giving

AI-assisted match submissions

Our new Match Assurance receipt scanning feature automatically populates donation details and flags errors during the match request process, saving employees time while ensuring high-quality data for administrators.

 

Grants Management 

AI Grant summaries
Our first generative AI feature for Grants that automatically reads lengthy grant applications and provides a concise, structured summary directly within the reviewer's workflow.

 

Modernization: payments module  (BETA)

The Payments module now has a more sophisticated, hierarchical mailbox filter and an intelligent interface that persists your preferred layout and settings, ensuring your most efficient workspace is ready the moment you log in.

Program and Risk Management

New administrator Resource Centre
Our Resource Center will soon be accessible directly within the platform for admins via a new help icon. Admins gain a curated menu featuring B-Hive resources, community links and product updates.

 

Reporting Studio personally identifiable information masking
​​​​​Reporting Studio now features personally identifiable info masking, allowing admins to grant broader reporting access while protecting sensitive data like tax IDs and personal addresses. This enhancement aligns your team with industry best practices, resolving the tension between operational efficiency and data compliance.

Volunteering

Enhanced volunteer sign-up confirmations

Volunteer sign-up email notifications now have comprehensive details, including guest counts, remaining capacity, and volunteer specifics like contact info and waiver status, so organizers can stay fully informed, right from their email inbox.

 

New volunteer opportunity (BETA)

Administrators will be able to preview the new Volunteer Opportunity experience on March 3rd. This update includes a more modern look and feel, enhanced accessibility, and a consolidated manage menu. Admins can enable the preview via the toggle in their user profile, and it will officially go live for all users on April 7th.

 


 

Upcoming Product Releases

 

Volunteering

Enhanced volunteer reminders 
​​​​​We've improved signup notifications, and next we'll elevate reminders with "add-to-calendar" buttons and all the info that a volunteer needs to make an impact.

 

Improved volunteer opportunity approval and decline notifications

Soon, you’ll get a direct update on your submission with a quick breakdown of what happens next—like how to start signing up volunteers or whether changes are required.

Challenges 

Collective Challenges

Foster a spirit of unity with our new Collective Challenges. This feature allows individual points to pool toward a community-wide goal, then coordinate a corporate donation, a special matching campaign, or a team activity.

Grants Management

In-App dashboards

Centralized views will put program health and task priorities in one place, eliminating the need to switch between pages or run reports just to understand what needs attention. 

 Program and Risk Management

Faster global disbursements

We are evolving our world-class financial engine, shifting from monthly models to automated weekly cycles. This update enables your donations to reach nonprofits in as little as 14 to 21 days—bridging the gap between a donor's act of goodness and real-world impact. By leveraging our Donor Advised Fund (DAF) infrastructure, you will be able to deliver funds quickly and at a global scale without compromising the rigorous security, trust, and compliance your program depends on.

 

Ready to accelerate your impact? Talk to your CSM today to learn how a Corporate or Global DAF can unlock faster disbursements for your program.

Hi, where would we find more information about Reporting Studio personally identifiable information masking? Does this affect how data is displayed in our Reporting Studio reports and how can we start masking data?

Hello ​@Carolyn Withrow! We have an article available in the B-Hive to support. Before this release all users of Reporting Studio had access to view PII. The users who had access to view PII before will continue to be able to view PII. All new users of RS will NOT have access to view PII by default unless an administrator has requested otherwise via a change signatory.
