Our Solution

Philanthropic dollars, much like accumulated wealth, are concentrated in the largest nonprofits and rarely reach local communities. At Give GroundUp, we believe that to meet the real and ongoing needs of our communities, donors deserve better alternatives to support the issues they care about.

For too long, philanthropy has upheld systems of inequity that make it nearly impossible for small grassroots movements to thrive. Give GroundUp is disrupting that model — creating a modern, community-driven approach to philanthropy that amplifies local voices, levels the playing field, and makes space for grassroots organizations not just to survive, but to grow.

Meet give GroundUp.

A social discovery tool that’s changing the way philanthropy works and shifting power back to communities.
