A Faster, Simpler Alternative to CyberGrants

CyberGrants traps you in "customized" tech debt—clunky UX, hard-coded setups you can’t update, and a support team that disappears when you need them most. Why pay high fees for a platform that makes your job harder?

Groundswell is the modern, self-serve alternative that puts the power back in your hands. Launch a mobile-first experience in weeks, move money to nonprofits in days, and get the proactive support you actually deserve.

Why Companies are Switching from CyberGrants to Groundswell

Flexible platform. Not hard-coded systems.

CyberGrants custom-builds programs that become harder to update over time. Groundswell is configurable from day one—so you can make changes instantly, without breaking your system or waiting on support.

Donations in days, not months.

CyberGrants can take up to 50 days for donations and 90 days for matches. Groundswell’s modern DAF infrastructure delivers funds within 24 hours—so your impact happens immediately.

Transparent pricing. No surprise fees.

CyberGrants often relies on costly custom add-ons and administrative overhead. Groundswell keeps pricing simple and predictable—with low processing fees and no hidden costs.

Self-serve when you want it. Real support when you need it.

Run your program without waiting on support. And when you do need help, get fast, personalized guidance from a team of real humans that actually knows your program.

"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.

Jania Stout

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.
