Article: What is a contribution?

Contributions are funds added to your Groundswell account, which can then be used to donate to charities. Groundswell accounts are digital wallets for charitable giving, powered by a Donor-Advised Fund; you can put money in, and then send it out to charity when you want.

In order to contribute funds, users need to add a funding source. Groundswell provides several ways for users to add funds, or contribute, to their accounts. These include: 1) bank account; 2) debit or credit card via Apple/Google Pay; 3) Direct Deposit via company payroll.

Once you've contributed funds to your account, they are available for you to donate to charity at any time.
