What makes Groundswell different?

Everything in one platform

Groundswell brings together donation matching, volunteering, grants, charity vetting, and reporting in a single platform. No spreadsheets, no disconnected tools, no manual processes. Just everything you need to run a modern social impact program in one place.

Modern infrastructure, lower fees

Groundswell uses a modern donor-advised fund (DAF) structure to eliminate complexity, reduce fees, and disburse funds in 24 hours. Unlike legacy platforms that add layers of overhead, our approach gets more funding directly to nonprofits—faster, and with less friction for everyone involved.

Designed for employees and admins

Most platforms focus on program management. Groundswell puts people first. With an intuitive experience on both desktop and mobile, employees can give, volunteer, and engage with ease while admins get the tools they need to run impactful programs without the heavy lift.

Where social good meets modern tech. Welcome to the future of impact.

"So simple to use and will make a huge difference."

I have worked for very large organizations of 50k down to 4k employees. They have always been hard to work with. I love that Groundswell is so super easy.

"Great platform used by over 70% of our associates!"

This tool has allowed us to rapidly expand our employee matching and employee gifting programs and has been well received by the associates. Groundswell continues to add new features that make the platform even more  valuable to us. The partnership with CAF America to include international NGOs allowed us to expand to our India-based associates which has been very well received.

"Easy, impactful and fulfilling!"

Not only does Groundswell let you put corporate giving into the hands of employees, the user experience is seamless and the customer support is A+. The Groundswell team is always proactive about finding new ways for our company to leverage the app and the holidays awareness month toolkits are especially helpful.
