We're here to challenge the status quo. And one industry standard that we’ve set our sights on is the unacceptable donation distribution delays normalized by legacy platforms. These companies, which currently service the majority of Fortune 500 companies, routinely take 30-60 days to send a donor’s donation to charity, and 90-180 days to send a company’s matching gift. We believe that this is wrong. So we’ve fixed it. Groundswell sends out donations in just 24 hours.

CEO of the highest-rated social impact platform on G2 - Groundswell | Executive Chairman at Team Rubicon
Cha-ching! Does your CSR platform offer tax-free interest yields? With Groundswell, employees that thoughtfully set aside funds throughout the year to make larger strategic gifts earn dividends on their balance. It's just another way we're innovating in this space. Why does this help? I'll use a personal example. I'm still chairman of the board at Team Rubicon and owe an annual give-get each year. It's a large check, but my wife and I are happy to write it (figuratively, of course, since Groundswell will send it electronically!). Because it's an amount we can't just send on a whim, we contribute tax-deductible funds to our Groundswell account throughout the year and then donate them at the organization's annual gala. With Groundswell's dividend feature, we'll earn $300-400 - money we can either send to TR or use to create impact elsewhere. It's literally free money that helps employees generate more impact! We're always seeking to be on the leading edge of innovation. What would you like to see us take on? #CSR #socialimpact #innovation #DAF #corporatesocialresponsibility #giving #giveback #charity #nonprofit #teamrubicon #philanthropy

"You make this look so easy!" We love hearing this during our demos. 😊 But here's the thing: It looks easy because we've worked incredibly hard to make it that way. At Groundswell, we believe managing social impact programs shouldn't be a headache. That's why we've poured countless hours into designing an intuitive, user-friendly platform that simplifies: - Employee giving - Donation matching - Employee volunteering - Corporate grants - Employee Assistance Programs - Impact reporting - Program administration The result? A solution so seamless, it almost feels like magic. But don't take our word for it. Book a demo and see for yourself how we're revolutionizing corporate philanthropy - one "easy" step at a time. https://lnkd.in/grhE4TbU #CorporateGiving #UserExperience #SocialImpact #TechForGood

In today's corporate giving landscape, outdated legacy giving platforms are holding everyone back. It's a lose-lose-lose scenario. Let's break it down: 🏛️ Nonprofit organizations don’t get timely access to critical funding. 👥 The employee experience is completely trampled by slow timelines and infinitely pending donations. 🏢 Companies are faced with an unnecessary amount of administrative work, slowing things down even more and discouraging them from donating as much or as often as they’d like to. It's time for a change. Groundswell is here to transform this lose-lose-lose scenario into a win for all. Read more about how legacy platforms (and their donation timelines) have created this lose-lose-lose scenario in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/gsYR6hBH #CorporateGiving #CSR #SocialImpact #NonprofitSupport

Did you know that up to $7 billion in corporate donations go unused every year? 😲 That's right - while companies offer generous giving programs, complexity often stands in the way.
