Groundswell

We're here to challenge the status quo. And one industry standard that we’ve set our sights on is the unacceptable donation distribution delays normalized by legacy platforms. These companies, which currently service the majority of Fortune 500 companies, routinely take 30-60 days to send a donor’s donation to charity, and 90-180 days to send a company’s matching gift. We believe that this is wrong. So we’ve fixed it. Groundswell sends out donations in just 24 hours.

After more than a decade in the nonprofit sector, one thing became crystal clear for our CEO Jake Wood: securing corporate donations was a painfully slow and complex process. Both nonprofits and companies were losing out due to inefficient systems. There had to be a better way. 🤔 The Problem: - Nonprofits spent countless hours chasing corporate funding and often received it 30-90 days after a disaster - Companies struggled to manage and maximize their giving impact - Great causes often missed out due to administrative hurdles 💡 The Lightbulb Moment: What if we could create a platform that streamlined social impact programs, benefiting both companies and nonprofits? 🚀 Enter Groundswell: We built a solution that: ✅ Simplifies the donation process for corporations ✅ Empowers employees to support causes they care about ✅ Helps nonprofits access funding more easily 🌱 The Result: A win-win-win solution where companies boost their social impact, employees feel more engaged, and nonprofits can focus on their mission rather than fundraising logistics. At Groundswell, we're not just changing how corporate giving works – we're transforming its very nature. Because when giving is easy and meaningful, everyone benefits.

Cha-ching! Does your CSR platform offer tax-free interest yields? With Groundswell, employees that thoughtfully set aside funds throughout the year to make larger strategic gifts earn dividends on their balance. It's just another way we're innovating in this space. Why does this help? I'll use a personal example. I'm still chairman of the board at Team Rubicon and owe an annual give-get each year. It's a large check, but my wife and I are happy to write it (figuratively, of course, since Groundswell will send it electronically!). Because it's an amount we can't just send on a whim, we contribute tax-deductible funds to our Groundswell account throughout the year and then donate them at the organization's annual gala. With Groundswell's dividend feature, we'll earn $300-400 - money we can either send to TR or use to create impact elsewhere. It's literally free money that helps employees generate more impact! We're always seeking to be on the leading edge of innovation.

We love reading customer comments like this one 🙌

In today's corporate giving landscape, outdated legacy giving platforms are holding everyone back. It's a lose-lose-lose scenario. Let's break it down: 🏛️ Nonprofit organizations don’t get timely access to critical funding. 👥 The employee experience is completely trampled by slow timelines and infinitely pending donations. 🏢 Companies are faced with an unnecessary amount of administrative work, slowing things down even more and discouraging them from donating as much or as often as they’d like to. It's time for a change. Groundswell is here to transform this lose-lose-lose scenario into a win for all. Read more about how legacy platforms (and their donation timelines) have created this lose-lose-lose scenario in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/gsYR6hBH #CorporateGiving #CSR #SocialImpact #NonprofitSupport
