Groundswell vs. YourCause

Traditional corporate giving platforms are outdated and pricey. Groundswell makes corporate philanthropy modern, easy, and affordable.

What makes Groundswell different?

With Groundswell’s platform, you can leave the busy work to us, like collecting donation receipts, vetting charities, or disbursements. With over 1.5M qualified nonprofits for employees to donate to, they can have a choice in where they make the most impact.

Easy set-up

We get your corporate giving program up and running faster than anyone else.

Seamless Program Management

Save hours collecting receipts, processing disbursements, and vetting charities.

Affordable pricing

We think philanthropy should be accessible to everyone. Our pricing is straightforward and we don’t do unexpected price hikes.

Effortlessly manage your giving programs in one place

Easily set up your employee matching, gifting, and volunteer programs. Provide your employee list and preferred corporate giving rules. Leave the rest to us.
We’ll get you up and running in hours, not months.

Matching

Automatically match funds into a Personal Giving Account for your employees.

Gifting

Send a charitable stipend to your employee’s giving accounts during moments that matter like a work anniversary or promotion.

Volunteering

Employees can log their volunteer hours directly in the Groundswell mobile app, making it easier for you to generate a volunteer match.

Corporate Grants

You can leverage Groundswell for all of your corporate grant making in addition to employee gifting and matching.

Reporting

See the status and utilization of your giving program. Real-time data helps you understand the causes employees support.

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.

…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.
