“I think the idea to simplify corporate giving to put it in employee’s hands, and potentially make it a benefits offering for a company is extremely compelling.”

Retain & Attract Talent

In the race to roll out more differentiated benefits packages, Groundswell offers the ability to bankroll employee charitable giving through both gifting and matching – a perk that attracts values-driven employees and improves employer brand.

Easy Implementation

Unlike traditional matching platforms, Groundswell directs your matches automatically to an employee’s tax-deductible Individual Charitable Account (ICA) so they can give twice as much money to charity when and where they choose – eliminating the hassle of submitting receipts to CSR and chasing forms from HR.

Fully Tax-Advantaged

Employer contributions into the employee ICA (powered by a Donor Advised Fund) are fully deductible charitable contributions, and because the funds are deposited directly into Groundswell, employees never have to pay payroll taxes and their charitable dollars can grow tax-free.
