Important news 🤝 The Social Handshake has been acquired by GoodUp, and we’re moving forward together! 🎉
April 16, 2026
Together, we’re taking a meaningful and important next step in our mission: helping companies and their employees easily contribute to a better world through their employment benefits.
While The Social Handshake has specialized in LoonGift and other giving products in recent years, GoodUp helps organizations engage employees through volunteer work, challenges, and fundraisers. By joining forces, we’re connecting employee giving with employee volunteering. This creates even more opportunities to collectively contribute to a better world, allowing our impact to grow even further!
What does this mean?
For companies and employees:
More opportunities – in addition to LoonGift, new opportunities arise to engage employees through volunteer work.
More impact – employees can dedicate their time, talent, and money to social causes they care about.
More insight – companies gain better opportunities to organize social engagement and make its impact transparent.
For charities:
More companies – access to a larger network of companies committed to social impact.
More opportunities – in addition to donations, there are also opportunities for volunteer work and collaboration with companies.
More visibility – new opportunities to bring your organization to the attention of companies and employees.
We’re really looking forward to continuing to build on our shared ambition: making social impact through employers just as standard as a salary, a training budget, or other employment benefits—not as a nice-to-have, but as a fixed part of the benefits package.
