Benevity charges 3% 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.
It can take up to 3-4 months for a match to reach a nonprofit on Benevity. With Groundswell, donations are matched instantly, and 100% of charities receive their funds (both donation and match) within 24 hours.
Benevity’s growth has come through acquisitions, leading to a hodgepodge of software and mobile apps that can be “clunky” and “difficult to navigate.” Groundswell was designed with admins in mind.
Benevity 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.
Benevity’s payroll giving solution requires dozens of administrative steps each pay period to execute, amounting to hundreds of hours a year for enterprise companies. Groundswell offers admin-free payroll giving and no payroll reconciliations or monthly invoices.
Benevity 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.
Groundswell is the only platform that seamlessly integrates your employee giving, volunteering, grantmaking, and employee assistance programs in one easy-to-use platform. One login for all your social impact needs from creation to reporting.
