Ribon

Ribon is the only employee giving platform built specifically for nonprofit healthcare systems. We help hospitals launch high-performing donation programs that staff actually want to be part of—driving record participation, building a stronger culture, and raising new funds without ever asking employees for money. Traditional employee giving programs don’t fit the healthcare reality—because they weren’t built for it. They were built for office workers, not for nurses finishing long shifts or janitorial staff who never sit at a desk. The result? Low engagement, limited impact, participation rates that rarely surpass 10%, and a missed opportunity to activate one of the most mission-driven workforces in the world. Ribon changes that. At the core of our approach is our proprietary Reverse Matching Gift technology, used by hundreds of thousands of donors and recognized by the Gates Foundation as one of the 10 most innovative giving technologies in the world. Instead of employees giving their own money, they receive tickets—funded by your institution’s unrestricted grants—which they use to support internal projects defined at the start of the campaign. The experience is mobile-first, intuitive, and designed to make giving easy, spontaneous, and rewarding. The result? Participation often surpasses 50%, with programs up and running in just a few weeks. Leaders can track engagement, identify gaps, and use built-in tools to bring more people in—without running complex campaigns or asking staff for donations. Healthcare teams already give their time, energy, and hearts every day. Ribon helps them give financially—spontaneously and proudly—without pressure.
