Make an International Impact

This new initiative unlocks a global catalog of nonprofits so Giving Circles on Grapevine can:

Support vetted global nonprofits through a trusted, transparent platform
Give securely and tax-efficiently across borders
Align their impact with their values, wherever they lead

It’s collective giving—expanded globally, and made simple.

What’s New: A Tech-Powered Leap for Collective Giving

Giving Circles are growing—and now, they’re going global with smarter, more connected tools. This initiative brings together the strengths of three leading partners to make international Giving Circles easier to start, run, and grow:

Grapevine’s digital platform makes it simple to launch and manage a Giving Circle
GlobalGiving’s nonprofit database unlocks access to vetted international causes through seamless API integration with the Grapevine platform
Philanthropy Together’s tools and training help new and existing circles deepen their impact and reach

With this tech-enabled collaboration, we’re expanding a movement that has already mobilized $3 billion through 4,000+ Giving Circles in the U.S.—and building the infrastructure for even more communities to come together and give better, across borders.

There is a 5% for international grants. Grapevine partners with GlobalGiving, a nonprofit that supports vetted organizations in over 170 countries. Nonprofits around the world face challenges such as navigating banking systems, meeting evolving regulatory requirements, and managing limits on incoming funds. The 5% fee helps cover the real costs of addressing these challenges, including increased banking fees, compliance efforts, and the hands-on support GlobalGiving provides to its nonprofit partners. This fee ensures that funds can be delivered safely and effectively across borders.
