A Simpler, More Unified Alternative to YourCause
YourCause was built for the era of manual payroll files and monthly reconciliations—which means your team is buried in admin work while your matches take 90 days to reach their destination. Why settle for clunky tech and ticketing queues? Groundswell is the modern, automated alternative that moves at the speed of now. Distribute funds in 24 hours, eliminate manual matching invoices, and give your employees a 5-star mobile app they’ll actually use.

Why Companies Are Switching from YourCause to Groundswell
Disconnected tools → One unified platform
YourCause brings together multiple products that don’t always work seamlessly. Groundswell unifies giving, volunteering, grants, and relief in one streamlined platform—so everything works together from day one.
Slow disbursements → Funds delivered in days
YourCause can take up to 50 days for donations and 90 days for matches. Groundswell delivers funds within 24 hours—so your impact happens immediately.
Hidden fees → Transparent pricing
YourCause often charges additional fees for core functionality and adds administrative overhead. Groundswell keeps pricing simple and predictable—with no hidden costs or surprise charges.
Ticket-based support → Real, responsive help
Getting help in complex systems can be slow and frustrating. Groundswell gives you self-serve control and fast, human support when you need it.

"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.

Senior Vice President, OneDigital
"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.
Durward Ferland
Partner, Wipfli
"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.
