How To: Add a Charity to Groundswell

If you can’t find a specific charity on the app or web platform, you can submit a request to the Groundswell team to review and add to our charity database if it is eligible.

Many schools and houses of worship are eligible to receive tax-deductible donations, but because they are not required to report to the IRS in the same way the 501c3 charities are, they are not included in the IRS dataset that we populate our platform with.

Submit your request through Groundswell's web app

Step 1. Login to Groundswell

Step 2. On the right hand side of your homepage you see the "Take action" section

Step 3. Click "Can't find the charity you're looking for?"

Step 4. Complete the request form. 

Below are the things you'll need to be able to complete this request: 

1. Charity Name 
2. Charity EIN 
3. Charity Website 
4. Charity point of contact

Submit your request directly through the HepCenter

Submit a request to add a charity via our Help Center here.  If possible, please include the following information when you reach out:

1. Charity name
2. EIN (employer identification number)
3. Website

Please note: If you are looking to add a new charity to your companies approved list of match eligible charities (this doesn't apply to all companies), you can submit a request via the button found on the charity page on Groundswell. The request will be sent to your company’s Groundswell admin for review. Each company has a different internal review process to determine match eligible organizations.
