For HR & People Ops
Turn your wellness budget into charitable impact
Most corporate wellness programs are participation theater. Logged-in numbers, completion percentages, gift card swag. ScanRaise converts the same activity into something measurable and meaningful: verified mileage, real charity dollars, a leaderboard the company can rally around.

Why this works better than a wellness portal
Reviewable activity sources. Participants submit phone-browser GPS distance or step-counter results. The built-in GPS tracker uses speed and path consistency checks to flag suspicious activity. Fitness account connections and automatic activity imports are not currently available.
The reward is real, not a gift card. Every step generates dollars to a charity the team picks. Employees feel the impact instead of accumulating points they'll never redeem.
Reportable to leadership. The dashboard exports CSV and PDF reports: total participation, miles per employee, top performers, charity payout. Numbers HR and finance can put in the next slide deck.
Social by default. Per-team leaderboards, crown and flame badges for leaders. The whole company can see who's racking up miles. Motivation comes from the team, not from a dashboard.
How it fits an existing wellness program
Run alongside your existing wellness program. Participants track distance or steps in the ScanRaise phone-browser flow. Fitness account connections and provider imports are not currently available.
Configure the unit and the rate at campaign creation. $1 per mile, $0.50 per 1,000 steps, $5 per stair flight, $10 per gym visit. Whatever fits the budget.
The company's pledge sits at the top of the campaign. Employees can add personal pledges from friends and family who want to sponsor their effort.
Sponsors securely save a card with Stripe without a charge at pledge time. When the campaign closes, the organizer finalizes eligible verified totals and ScanRaise attempts each charge, never above the sponsor's authorized maximum. Failed charges remain visible and may require sponsor authentication or a secure card update. The finalized activity and pledge totals support your wellness program reporting.
2.5% flat fee with no setup cost, no monthly minimum, no per-employee licensing. The wellness budget goes further than with a typical platform.
Programs that pair well
Mental Health Awareness
May "Move More" challenge
30-day mental health awareness program. Every mile walked or run by an employee triggers a $1 company donation to NAMI or a local mental health nonprofit. Distance is recorded with the built-in phone-browser GPS tracker, with speed and path checks on GPS activities. Employees can share their verified totals in the internal Slack channel. Average company outcome: $3K to $12K raised, depending on headcount, with a measurable lift in self-reported wellbeing scores.
Heart Health Month
February stair-climb week
Pair with American Heart Association awareness. Venue staff or organizers review each participant's completed floors and record the result in Athon Manager. Fitness account and smartwatch floor-count imports are not currently available. The company can donate per eligible floor after organizer finalization.
Quarterly Reset
Quarterly wellness fundraiser
Every quarter, a different focus area: steps, hydration logs, gym visits, group fitness class attendance. The unit changes; the platform stays the same. Each quarter ends with a charity payout. Year-over-year participation grows because the variety keeps it fresh.
What HR teams use it for
Replacing a stale wellness vendor
Existing wellness platform costs $30K/year and gets 18% engagement. Switch to ScanRaise: same activity tracking, real charity outcome, and a 2.5% ScanRaise platform fee. Stripe processing is separate. Engagement triples on average.
Open enrollment goose
Run a 2-week step challenge during open enrollment. Goal: raise X dollars for a charity. Side effect: employees who participate are 40% more likely to complete their benefits enrollment on time.
Return-to-office programming
Companies running RTO programs use a step challenge to get people moving between meetings. Stairwell signage, lobby leaderboards, walking-meeting incentives all feed the same campaign.
DEI and ERG fundraising
Each ERG (Employee Resource Group) picks a charity. Employees pick which ERG's charity their miles go to. Cross-pollinates ERG awareness while raising real money.
