How do Grapevines work?

A Grapevine is a community that comes together with the common goal of giving back on a recurring basis. Whether you’re a small group of friends, a block of close-knit neighbors, or a team of professionals rallying around a cause, Grapevine is your philanthropic home for giving back.

The best part about Grapevine is that it’s so easy. It was easy for me to set up, it’s easy for members to sign up and donate, once it’s set up it needs very little work.”

The Giving Circle Model

Grapevine is based on the idea that when people pool their resources together, they make the world a better place. But we didn’t invent this concept—you may know it as a Giving Circle, a Funder Collaborative, or a Fundraising Circle. Whatever you call it, Grapevine is built for you.
