…this was the best way to connect a diverse team with causes that matter most to each of them. I want to be a part of running a company that is creating a give-back culture, and my hope is that others who want to be a part of that will join us and those who are already here will be inspired to stay.
Garland Harwood
Cofounder & PR strategist, Confidant.
Our workforce is socially conscious. When I joined the team, it was a priority to figure out how Convergent can encourage and empower its staff to give to the causes they care deeply about while building a culture that values being generous. Convergent wanted a giving program that was simple and transparent. Groundswell was able to give us exactly what we needed.
Ivy Gilbert

What was great about implementing Groundswell was it gave us a modern, easy-to-use program that immediately leveled the playing field between us and the largest financial institutions on the planet.
Chris Hughes
