Groundswell

Did you know that most donation platforms used by Fortune 500 companies today hold onto your generous contributions for 30-60 days before sending them to charities. Company matching gifts? Those can take 90-180 days! We think your kindness deserves better. That's why at Groundswell, we've made it our mission to get donations into the hands of charities within just 24 hours. Because when you give, you want to make a difference right away! Why does this matter? When donations arrive faster: - Charities can put resources to work immediately - Donor impact is felt sooner - The giving experience improves for everyone Learn why timely donations should be the new standard: https://lnkd.in/geNsuZTt #corporategiving #socialimpact #CSR #donations

We just had one of those "THIS is why we do what we do" moments! We woke up this morning to watch in real-time as a customer seamlessly distributed a $2.5M corporate grant to a nonprofit. What gets us excited isn't just the size of the grant (though that's pretty awesome ❤️ ), but we know that: 💰 Not a single dollar was lost to transaction fees ⏰ The grant was completed in just minutes, not days, and the nonprofit will receive those funds in 24 hours 🖥️ Our client distributed the grant directly from their Groundswell platform 🙌 No AP team was needed to process the grant 📊 They'll see the grant integrated into their program reporting in real-time When companies can deploy grants this efficiently, everyone wins - more funding reaches nonprofits faster, and organizations can focus on impact rather than paperwork. It's these moments that remind us why we built Groundswell in the first place - to make corporate giving easier and more impactful.

Time and again, we hear the same pain point from companies: 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠. Sound familiar? - "We're spending hours each month just reconciling donations and matches for our employees." - "Our data is scattered across so many different platforms that reporting is a nightmare" - "Every time we need to make a change, we have to submit a support ticket and wait to get the right person to help us" -"Managing payroll giving was way too difficult so we just turned it off" We built Groundswell to be the solution to these problems: ✅ One Unified Platform: All your social impact data in one place means seamless reporting and complete visibility across all your programs from giving to grantmaking. ✅ No More Financial Headaches: Say goodbye to monthly reconciliation and complex invoicing processes. We've automated donation matching and our unique DAF setup removes the need for invoicing. ✅ Effortless Payroll Giving: Direct integrations and employee self-service make deductions a breeze. ✅ Self-Service Tools: Launch campaigns, adjust matching rules, create unlimited grant opportunities, and configure reports without ever submitting a support ticket. Our partners report reducing their admin efforts by 90% after switching to Groundswell. The result? More time focusing on impact, less time wrestling with systems.

That means you can focus on impact, not admin. -> No more chasing down invoices. -> No more manual reconciliations. -> No more back and forth with your AP department.

Can your CSR platform handle stock donations?

One of our core motivations in building Groundswell was 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲—for both employees and admins. For employees, giving and volunteering should be easy. Finding the right causes, donating, and signing up for events shouldn’t feel like navigating clunky software from the 1990s. Groundswell makes it fun to get involved. For admins, running a social impact program shouldn’t require a certification in outdated software. No more endless training sessions, confusing interfaces, or relying on customer support just to make simple changes. Groundswell makes it easy to manage everything—without the admin burden. But don’t just take our word for it: ✅ "It's super easy to use, and has accomplished everything we needed for our anniversary donation gift to our employees..." ✅ "The tool is easy to use and the admin dashboard makes it easy for our People team to report out on usage." ✅ "The platform is incredibly easy to navigate." ✅ "The platform is simple, intuitive and takes just a few clicks to sign team members up to have an instant impact next door or across the globe." What happens when a platform is easy to use? More engagement. More impact. Less frustration. Happier teams. That’s what modern corporate giving should look like.
