Money supported community relief including food banks, disaster response organizations, and other critical social service organizations that frontline communities depend on for support.- for corporations and organizations that want to do good, we invested in streamlining our operations to improve how we support partners who have consumer giving programs by giving to and recommending grants from our donor advised fund or using our iframe, and weblinks products. This includes compliance with ab488 and other best practices for safely and securely helping donors support the charities they care about.- created a specific business unit to create a thriving and impactful philanthropy sector supported by seamless collaboration between giving platforms focusing on building community and sharing resources.- continued to explore ways we can expand on our mission.
