Simple, Free & Easy to setup
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.
Determine a location or cause area that you’d like to focus on, how much you want to give back and how often, then set up your page on Grapevine.
Use Grapevine’s easy invitations to get your friends, colleagues, family or neighbors to join your group.
Get everyone to set up their recurring donation to your shared pool then collectively decide which nonprofits should receive the funds.
Tools built for leaders
Pool your donations as a group to make a much bigger impact. When you add your $25 donation alongside 40 others your impact multiplies to a $1,000 gift for a nonprofit. Do it every month, quarter or year and the impact adds up.

We’re one of the first ‘casual’ giving groups, and I want there to be a lot more of them. You can be a beginner and still get started on Grapevine.”
Amplify your giving
After launching Grapevine groups at the onset of a global pandemic, the Grapevine community has come together to make a meaningful difference for nonprofits around the country.
“What keeps us going is seeing what your donation has done, and our group helps us stay in touch with the people who’ve received scholarships.”
“We’re up to 52 members and have already written checks to three charities, all without any marketing.”
“One of the best parts for me is learning about all of these local nonprofits that I had never heard of because they don’t have any marketing budgets.”
The collective giving movement is now featured in a new TED Talk from the 2022 Conference! Sara Lomelin, our partner and CEO of Philanthropy Together, talks about the transformative power of giving circles and how you can join the movement to diversify and democratize philanthropy.
