Good records, by default
No US law requires companies to spend on CSR. But only contributions to qualified organizations above 1% of taxable income are deductible from 2026, gifts of $250 or more need a written acknowledgment, and boards and staff want to see what the company gives back. CorpHands is designed so that the easy way to run your program is also the well-documented way.

Rules the software enforces
No money handling
There is no checkout and no wallet. Donation records describe payments your company made directly to a registered charity, with the receipt attached.
No approval without verification
A sponsorship request can only be approved when it is linked to a nonprofit your team has marked verified, or to a government body.
No 'paid' without a receipt
A donation can only be marked paid with a receipt number or an uploaded receipt.
No public photo without consent
Photos showing beneficiaries stay blurred and internal until a consent note is recorded.
No anonymous records
Every hour, request decision and donation is linked to a named person in your company, which supports the record-keeping regulators increasingly expect.
Everything is traceable
The audit log records who approved, declined or changed what, and when.

What matters in the US
No law requires CSR spending
US companies are not required to spend a share of profit on CSR. What they deal with is the federal tax deduction for charitable contributions, the paperwork behind each gift, and what they tell the board, staff and investors about their impact on communities.
A 1% floor on the corporate deduction from 2026
Under section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (2025), a corporation deducts contributions to qualified organizations only above 1% of its taxable income, up to 10%, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. Amounts over 10% carry forward for five years; the amount under the floor usually doesn't. CorpHands estimates the deduction from your records and the taxable income you enter.
Paperwork behind each gift
A contribution of $250 or more needs a written acknowledgment from the charity, in hand by the time you file. A non-cash gift over $5,000 generally needs a qualified appraisal and Form 8283. CorpHands lists the gifts that are still missing them.
Qualified organizations
Contributions count when they go to a qualified organization, such as a 501(c)(3) public charity (check the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search) or a government unit. Many states also require charities that raise funds to register. CorpHands records each nonprofit's EIN, 501(c)(3) status and state registration with its renewal date. Nothing is required and nothing is blocked.
Privacy and consent
Employee details and photos of beneficiaries are personal information, and a growing number of state privacy laws, such as California's, set rules for them. CorpHands processes the data on your company's behalf and keeps photo consent on record.
