General Information

Product Name: GozAround

Description: GozAround uses a marketplace approach to connect companies, nonprofits and individuals in one ecosystem. Similar to popular social media platforms, all participants have a shareable profile that captures and displays their social impact. Employees and retirees alike can associate their profiles with current or past companies as a way to participate in collective social impact. Their specialty is working with mid-sized companies who don’t have dedicated CSR staff as they also have an implementation solution called Impact Plus to help companies navigate using the platform who don’t have formalized programs. The user interface and social media-style mechanics drives GozAround user participation. Offerings include personal profiles, goal setting, news feeds, and some gamification features. Relevant content is pushed to the user news feed based on individual profiles in order to connect users with causes they are most passionate about. The administrator experience is enriched with dashboard reporting tools that centralize information from all employee users. Nonprofits also have access to a profile of their own, which allows them to post opportunities and monitor activity. GozAround is focused on continuously evolving the platform according to customer feedback and market trends.

Value-Add Services: Recently launched “Impact Plus” which is GozAround’s “do it for you” model for mid-sized companies lacking in dedicated CSR team members (or with few/divided team members). This includes the above-mentioned implementation and operational support, program design, contest operations, blog/social content generation, press release distribution, event planning, reporting and more. The scope is generally tailored to the client’s needs but is designed to improve ROI through a more successful implementation and higher staff participation.

Implementation Time: 1-3 months
