Uses - Executive Benefits

Reimagine Your Executive Benefits with Philanthropy as the Ultimate Perk

Provide your senior leaders with a tax-advantaged giving account and make philanthropy a component of their total compensation package.

Let philanthropy take center stage with:

Lightning-Fast Distributions

Did you know legacy platforms can take up to 120 days to distribute funds? With Groundswell, 100% of donations (and matches) are sent to nonprofits within 24 hours.

Easy Employee Gifting

Effortlessly contribute tax-deductible gifts to executives' Groundswell accounts. Create gift programs for your entire workforce or select employee groups.

Instant Donation Matching

Whether you're matching donations, volunteer hours, or both, we've eliminated the administrative hassle with instant and automatic processing of all eligible matches. Make an even bigger impact with 2x or 3x matching.

Admin-Free Payroll Giving

Payroll giving should be easy. So we built it that way. No more monthly reconciliations, no more monthly invoices, and no more monthly reports.

Tax-Advantaged Accounts

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) have historically only been available to high-net-worth individuals. The Groundswell platform has turned DAFs into an affordable and easy-to-administer solution for corporate and employee giving.

Privacy in Giving

Philanthropy can be deeply personal. Groundswell giving accounts, built on DAFs, add a layer of privacy to corporate giving, allowing employees to participate more authentically.

Make an impact in days, not months

When a disaster strikes, every minute counts. Nonprofits can’t afford to wait 120 days for funds. Our distribution timelines are 100x faster than legacy competitors, ensuring your donations reach nonprofits when they’re needed most. Add our industry-leading low fees, and you have a new gold standard for efficient giving.

Enjoy software that’s capable, not complicated

Empower your leadership team and top talent with the ultimate executive perk - the ability to give back and make a difference. Our all-in-one platform automates complex workflows and event management, providing a turnkey solution to transform your benefits package and drive social impact at the executive level.

Enable tax-smart giving with Groundswell

Groundswell giving accounts offer three main tax advantages for executives: the ability to minimize taxable income in a given year, the ability to donate appreciated stock assets, and the simplicity of a single year-end charitable giving receipt for tax reporting.

"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.

"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.

"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.
