"Groundswell provides peace-of-mind in your personal giving."
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

Groundswell has helped me to set charitable giving goals and work toward achieving them! In the past I was much less organized in thinking about exactly where I wanted to contribute to make the most impact in my community. I appreciate knowing that any of the charities listed are certified 501( c )3 organizations in good standing, so I have peace of mind that the dollars I contribute will support the causes I intend to.

In the past I did not take advantage of my firm’s match, only because it seemed confusing and a bit onerous. Now, I can take advantage of it with no additional effort on my part and my community receives the benefit. Groundswell really has been a game-changer in helping me to clarify which causes I care most about and identifying the best organizations to support to make an impact.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

It was a little confusing at first figuring out exactly how to set up reoccuring contributions, but once it is set up it works great and the firm match occurs seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great corporate giving/employee benefit platform, service and feature growth"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

We have been using Groundswell for nearly a year and have been very happy with the increase in volunteer engagement, the platform provided to employees and the ongoing level of service and support. Utilizing Groundswell for our existing charitable matching program successfully reduced the administrative requirements of managing matching activity, and implementation and onboarding was easy and straightforward.

The Groundswell team is also continuously adding features and expanding the platform, and they have been responsive to feedback provided by our admins and users. On a personal level, each member of the team I have spoken with has been positive and eager to help. They are clearly doing something right and it's great to see their growth! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

There are some features that would be beneficial to see from an administrative and user experience perspective, such as secondary approval and recordkeeping for corporate grants, but I am confident that the Groundswell team will continue to address feedback and implement additional features.

"Instantly connects me to my community"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

Groundswell has revolutionized my giving, both personally and professionally. It's not just a platform, it's an innovative way to connect with causes I care about and make a real difference. Instead of chasing personal gains, I now find myself regularly opting to raise funds within my Groundswell account, supporting both local gems and established organizations.

It's like having my philanthropy superpower activated! I can instantly connect with the smallest non-profits making a tangible impact right in my community, or lend my support to global initiatives. Tracking my recurring donations is a breeze, and the best part? I can do it all from the palm of my hand. This is the tool I've been missing for years!

But Groundswell isn't just technology, it's a community. The staff is incredible, radiating genuine care, integrity, and a true service-first approach. They're not just facilitators, they're passionate advocates for good.

If you're looking to maximize your impact and join a movement of givers, look no further. Groundswell is the answer. Get yourself and your company on board, and let's change the world, one donation at a time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

I wish more companies were engaging their employees on this platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terrific all-rounder for your giving experience!"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

We started using Groundswell since around a year I enjoy several things about it. To begin with it's got a great team behind it that has run a very successful international nonprofit. So it knows nonprofits very well. They are very tech savvy and that has ensured they have a very easy UX. I would imagine the experience for the beneficiary organization is equally good. Beyond these, I like the ease of searching for 1000s of nonprofits from across the world. This has allowed me to track my donation goals. Our organization does a donation match, which means my impact is doubled!

For the few times I've had to reach out for help, I've found their support being really good, even when I've reached out on weekends. They are very earnest about feedback and taking action. Tax filing is coming up soon and how cool is it that I have one place for my tax receipt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

"Dislike" is a strong word and I don't have anything that I dislike. I also know that they switched to using PayPal Grants which will mean donations will be processed in less than 5 business days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best corporate giving platform!"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

Groundswell is remarkably efficient and easy to use, while having an outsized impact on employee engagment. What I appreciate the most is how it streamlines the entire process of corporate philanthropy and donation matching. It's incredibly user-friendly, making it easy for employees to engage and support causes they're passionate about. The initial setup and implementation process of Groundswell quite literally took minutes.

Groundswell's impact on employee morale and engagement is significant, creating a sense of community and shared purpose within our organization. Our employees have been the most vocal about how meaningful it is to them that they are able to support the causes that mean the most to them as individuals.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

Nothing - it is truly the easiest platform I've ever used, and their customer success team is extremely responsive and helpful any time I've ever had a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

We implimeted Groundswell with our team members and it has been flawless! The support Groundswell offers is handsdown the best customer service I have seen in a long time. We integrated payroll deductions with over 700 team members and it was customized and smooth because of the Groundswell Team. They are worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

We are new to Groundswell but have not found anything of concern. The team is willing to make the program work for our team. We love that they find solutions! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Support & Easy to Use Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

I really appreciated how easy it was to implement Groundswell. I've implemented a lot of tools in my time and Groundswell was very easy and straightforward. Within minutes I had loaded our employees (we chose to do a manual file for speed of launch) and set up a fundraising/matching campaign. The platform was very intuitive and they have many helpful resources available should you get stuck or have questions on the set up process. I also really appreciated that my account team was very proactive - they shared resources, checked in, offered timely suggestions, and even helped troubleshoot one random issue we had with an employee's offline donation. I could not have asked for better customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

No downsides. Groundswell perfectly met our needs for our giving/matching campaign! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The BEST charitable giving platform!!"
5/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

I love how Groundswell's platform makes it easier than ever to donate to the causes I care about and take full advantage of my company's employee matching program. Using their app, I was pleasantly surprised at how incredibly fast and simple it made the process. The UX design is seamless, easily intergrates my company / funding info, and I love how it tracks your progress on meeting your annual giving goals - makes it a fun and satisfying process! Thanks to Groundswell, giving back to the organizations making an impact in my community has never been easier and I plan on using this platform for all future charitable donations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

The only downside I can think of is that not enough people know about it! I wish all companies were aware of how great this platform is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Groundswell?

The team's willingness to go above and beyond. Our implementation process was a lenghty one, mostly because of internal approvals. The team couldn't have been any more flexible and patient. Once implemented, the platform continues to surprise us with its user-friendliness, speed, reporting functionalities and customer service - second to none! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

absolutely nothing! it's been a near perfect experience all around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Organization that aids thoughtful supporters!"
4/5
What do you like best about Groundswell?

I like how Groundswell organized non profits into purpose/impact which helps with choosing where you want to focus your support. I like how easy it is to see how much money I had available from my employer to donate and could easily navigate through the non profits I was considering to learn more about each before deciding which to support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groundswell?

It would be helpful to have more information visible up front about what will happen once you donate (no email until a full recap in January). I found this information in the FAQs, but it can be confusing at first since typically when you donate you get a corresponding email to let you know the donation was successful.
