Ribon is a workplace giving tool for nonprofits that uses behavioral psychology to inspire staff donations, while fostering well-being and deepening their connection to the organization's mission — without ever feeling pushy.
What is Ribon?
Meet the Warm-Glow Effect
When your team donates this grant consistently, they begin to feel a powerful emotion known in science as the Warm-Glow Effect.
This fosters collective well-being, reduces stress, and triggers pleasurable sensations that repeatedly re-engage the team with donations.

How it works
Give your staff the power of choice
Set aside a portion of your unrestricted grants to let your employees decide where it should be allocated within your organization.
We convert that budget into tickets, so your team members can claim them and assign them to programs you’ve pre-selected.

More engagement, more funds raised
Some team members will be inspired by the experience of donating tickets backed by your grants. Over time, they will want to pay for more tickets.
The money from paid tickets can reach 50% of the grant used in the campaign. In other words, a $1M grant on Ribon can bring an extra $500k in new funds.
