About Grapevine

Launched in 2020, Grapevine is the only platform dedicated to Giving Circles with 48,000+ members, hundreds of active giving circles and nearly $21 million raised to date for more than 2,300 nonprofits nationwide. A Giving Circle is when a group of like-minded people come together around a shared cause, geography or identity to contribute a certain amount of money (from $10 to $10,000+) periodically (monthly, quarterly or yearly) into a shared pool, and then collaboratively decide which nonprofit will receive their collective donation. Then they do it again the next period!
