About Us:
At Grapevine, we make giving to the causes you care about social, purposeful and fun. We’re building a social giving platform that enables groups of people like neighbors, alumni groups, and more to pool their donations and give together.
Since our launch in 2020, we have moved over $21+M in donations to more than 2,300 nonprofits across the country from more than 48,000 Giving Circle members. We’re the platform partner of Philanthropy Together, the global giving circle initiative backed by the Gates Foundation and many others including Charity Navigator, Giving Compass, Idealist, and more. If you’ve never heard of a Giving Circle before, check them out in the NYT, Fast Company, and Refinery29 or watch this recent TED Talk! We have top tier funders supporting our mission, including Notation Capital, PJC, Alex Chung (founder of Giphy), and David Heath (founder of Bombas).
