Grapevine is the only platform dedicated to Giving Circles - a charitable model where people come together, pool their donations and give back as a collective to amplify their impact. Founded by Emily Rasmussen in 2018, Grapevine now hosts over 800 Giving Circles, with 55,000+ total members across the US, and $25M in donations to date. Grapevine is connecting people to grow the greater good and accelerating the collective giving movement that is diversifying and democratizing philanthropy.

We envision a more inclusive world where communities thrive with the support of a widespread collective giving movement, and where everyone can be a changemaker, together.
