Teleskope Partners With Every.org for Employee Giving and Donation Matching
Most employer matching programs already exist on paper. Getting employees to actually use them is where most programs fall short.
Employee giving and donation matching inside Teleskope now run on Every.org, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit giving platform that lets nonprofits and donors give and receive nearly any gift, from cash and credit cards to donor-advised funds, stock, and crypto. Every.org verifies the nonprofit, processes the gift, delivers funds, and issues the receipt.
What Is the Teleskope and Every.org Partnership?
Teleskope has partnered with Every.org to bring verified giving infrastructure into the employee experience platform enterprises already use for ERGs, mentoring, events, and more. Giving and matching run inside the same communities employees already belong to.
Teleskope is where employees discover causes, join campaigns, and see a match confirmed. Every.org is the infrastructure underneath. It verifies each nonprofit, processes the gift, delivers the funds to the organization, and handles the compliance and tax receipts that come with it.
ERGs, mentoring, events, and onboarding already live inside Teleskope. Giving and donation matching now join them, without a separate login or a standalone portal employees have to remember to visit.
How Does Giving Work Now That Every.org Is Behind It?
An employee finds a cause inside their community feed, the same place they RSVP to events or catch an ERG update. They give through payroll, card, or digital payment, or, through Every.org, as a donor-advised fund, stock, or crypto gift.
Every.org verifies each nonprofit against nonprofit-registry and IRS databases before it becomes eligible for giving. Teleskope adds a second layer on top of that: administrators can require a custom verification questionnaire before a cause is approved for their program. Once a gift is made, Every.org processes the payment, delivers the funds to the nonprofit, and issues the donor's tax receipt automatically.
Every.org also confirms each completed gift back to Teleskope through a signed transaction record, matching it to the employee, the campaign, and any employer match. That confirmation is why Teleskope's giving dashboard reflects reconciled totals in real time instead of an estimate pieced together later.
If the company runs a matching program, Teleskope verifies the donation against the program rules and generates the match automatically. There is no request form and no manual review for a standard donation. Offline or flagged gifts still route to an administrator before the match is issued.
Why Does Verified Giving Infrastructure Matter for HR Leaders?
Industry research estimates $4 to $7 billion in matching funds goes unclaimed every year.
Generosity was never the problem. The infrastructure was.
Most of that gap traces back to friction, not disinterest. Employees do not know a match exists, cannot find the request form, or give through a channel the program was never built to track. A verified, connected giving layer closes that gap instead of asking employees to work around it.
For HR and CSR leaders, this reframes the giving conversation. The question is no longer whether to offer a match. It is whether the program is built somewhere employees will actually find it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Every.org, and why did Teleskope partner with them for giving?
Every.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit giving platform built to make it easy for nonprofits and donors to give and receive nearly any type of gift, from cash and credit cards to donor-advised funds, stock, and crypto. As a nonprofit itself, Every.org has spent years building giving technology that verifies nonprofits, processes gifts securely, and gets funds to the right organization. Teleskope partnered with Every.org so every gift made inside the platform is verified, delivered, and receipted, with donation matching running on the same infrastructure.
Does an employer match happen automatically, or does someone have to request it?
Standard eligible donations trigger the match automatically once Teleskope verifies the gift against the program rules. There is no request form for a standard donation. Offline or flagged gifts still route through an approvals workflow before the match is issued.
Can employers restrict which nonprofits are eligible for giving or matching?
Yes. Administrators can run an approved-organizations-only mode, where a nonprofit becomes eligible only after a CSR admin switches it on. Companies can also group nonprofits into their own cause pillars and set eligibility by giving type, so an organization can qualify for a direct donation but not for matching.
Do employees get a tax receipt automatically?
Yes. Every.org issues the donor's tax receipt as the merchant of record on every eligible gift. Employees do not need to request documentation or track it down separately at tax season.
