"Groundswell is an Ideal Platform"
4/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

Groundswell has been a game changer for our company’s giving strategy. The contracting and setup process was refreshingly simple, and their team made every step clear and easy. The quality of support we have received has been outstanding, always responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile.

What has stood out most for us is the grantmaking feature. It has saved my team countless hours and eliminated the frustration that often comes with manual processes. The platform itself is clean, intuitive, and the reporting dashboard makes it easy to track impact and share results with leadership.

Groundswell has not only made our work more efficient but also more impactful. I would strongly recommend it to any organization looking for a modern and user friendly approach to employee giving and grantmaking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great experience using Groundswell"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

My employer does matches. Groundswell does the match automatically, so I don't need to submit a form for each contribution. And related is that it does the donations (and contributions) on a monthly basis so I don't need to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

Honestly, other than some difficulty recently figuring out how to cancel a recurring donation, I haven't had any problems or anything to dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarah Kuntsal of Groundswell

Thanks for the great review Don! We're thrilled that automatic matching and recurring giving are saving you time, and we appreciate the feedback on managing recurring donations.

"Groundswell Made It Simple"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

The people and support: Groundswell’s team is personable, dependable, and always quick to help when needed.

The speed of implementation: How smooth and fast the setup was—it didn’t drag on like so many other tech rollouts.

Ease of use: The platform is simple and intuitive, making it easy for your team to adopt.

Partnership approach: From your first conversation with Jake through today, they’ve worked to make the relationship collaborative and fair. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

I wish there were more built-in options for communicating directly with participants on my team. Right now, when I run a campaign, it’s on me to send everything out. It would be really helpful to have more automation or customizable settings for what gets sent, so there’s one less thing for me to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarah Kuntsal of Groundswell

Thanks so much for sharing this feedback! We just launched a new feature called Broadcasts, which does exactly what you’re looking for—making it easier to communicate directly with your team during campaigns. You’ll find it under the Engagement section in your account, and your Account Representative would be happy to walk you through setup or answer any questions. We’re excited for you to give it a try!

"Groundbreaking giving and volunteering platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

The DAF model for employee giving and volunteering, matched by the company, provides a user-friendly interface (and mobile app) that is sleek and future-forward. Our previous system had multiple screens and acceptances required and Groundswell is one-click into a very intuitive platform to search and engage with organizations. The large number of eligible charities further streamlined the experience for employees. The Groundswell team is responsive, professional, and eager to innovate to solve any issue with integration and roll-out. They have been able to customize to meet our company's policies and are at the forefront of future in-demand offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

Nothing that I dislike. It is such an improvement. We are still working to expedite vetting of international charities and exploring other solutions but that is an issue with any product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarah Kuntsal of Groundswell

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback and for sharing your experience with Groundswell! We’re thrilled to hear the DAF model, intuitive interface, and large charity network have been valuable for your team.

We appreciate your partnership and look forward to continuing to innovate together!

"Modernized 'Giving' with Incredible Leadership"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

We are thrilled to partner with Groundswell. At their core, they have a remarkable group of people who are dedicated to making 'giving' and grant-making easy. Their platform makes it easy to give and their team is responsive to ideas and suggestions on how we can drive a culture of giving and engagement with our employees. All donations are distributed within 24 hours. The tool is very easy to use and we love how we can manage our volunteering events and manage it through the Groundswell app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

Groundswell is a four-year-old company and growing swiftly -- a testament to the product-market fit that they have brought forth with their platform. Like anything with nascent software tools, there are things that can be improved along the way. We actually prefer to work with them through this journey, as we want to increase and grow our culture of giving. They have proven to be a terrific partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarah Kuntsal of Groundswell

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re grateful to partner with you and excited to see your culture of giving thrive. Your feedback and collaboration help us continue improving, and we’re glad the platform is making an impact for your team.

"A seamless addition to our existing giving culture"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

I love that we can match our employees donations instantly. This is a total 180 to what we were doing before where employees made their donation and then submitted for reimbursement for half of it... this is such a better experience overall. I love our ability to spotlight certain causes and highlight non-profits our team has volunteered at in person really helps to connect alll of the dots of our growing CSR program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

I'd love to see some more integration with Slack so we can push out spotlights or reminders there but from what I hear that may already be in the works! Groundswell continues to innovate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
