I had explored employee giving software solutions in the past, but the price points and implementation timelines and costs just made them unjustifiable. How can I justify spending $40k per year on Benevity when we’re only giving away $100k? It seemed wildly inefficient.

Why are people switching from legacy platforms to Groundswell?

Lower fees

Other platforms charges between 3-5% for their distribution fee and will often assess ad hoc fees to customers for incremental services. Groundswell charges just 1%, the lowest in the industry, and never charges ad hoc fees.

Faster distribution

It can take up to 3-4 months for a match to reach a nonprofit on Benevity or Cybergrants. With Groundswell, donations are matched instantly, and 100% of charities receive their funds within 24 hours.

Better user experience

Benevity and YourCause have grown through acquisitions, leading to a hodgepodge of software and mobile apps that can be “clunky” and “difficult to navigate.” Groundswell was designed with both users and admins in mind.

Better customer service

Legacy customer service is hit or miss and lacks dedicated account managers. With Groundswell, whether you need help launching a campaign or inspiration for your next event our team is easy to reach and happy to help.

Admin-free payroll

Legacy platforms leave you with multiple monthly invoices, monthly payroll reconciliations, and manual reporting - leading to piles of busy work.  Groundswell payroll giving requires zero admin and no payroll reconciliations.

All-in-one platform

Legacy products require multiple logins and create admin headaches. With Groundswell, manage all your social impact initiatives—giving, volunteering, emergency assistance, and grants management—from one centralized platform.
