A MOMENT TO STEADY COMMUNITY RELIEF EFFORTS

In our communities, trusted street-level leaders are bringing culturally grounded relief work, helping neighbors reach food, home crisis relief, and practical solutions long before large institutions enter the scene.

But the systems around these leaders make this work harder than it needs to be.

Reimbursement grants must be fronted with precious personal funds. Policies shift. Funds stall.

Your gift inspires everyone who cares to propel our Groundswell Growth cohort of leaders, bringing in more donation support, ensuring the relief work of these community heroes can continue without disruption.

HELP US BUILD THE $60,000 MATCH POOL

Before our public campaign launches, we’re gathering a small circle of early supporters whose gifts will double every online donation — helping stabilize helpers in challenging moments, unlock stalled grants, and ensure essential relief work keeps moving.

Target Structure:

1 Anchor Gift: $20,000–$40,000
2 Co-Anchor Gifts: $10,000–$19,999
4 Matching Partner Gifts: $5,000–$9,999
7 Supporting Partner Gifts: $2,000–$4,999

Your gift is your entry into the Matching Circle — a group of leading donors who ensure community helpers can keep supporting their neighbors with dignity, steadiness, and cultural grounding.

BECOME PART OF THE MATCH

Community relief workers need your faithfulness, especially now.

SYSTEMS FALL SHORT

Innovative relief organizers often face barriers in funding systems, in culture gaps, or with complex rules, leaving neighbors waiting for support in times of great need.

SUPPORT MULTIPLIES RELIEF WORK

A single community leader can reach dozens of households. One gift stabilizes relief work for entire neighborhoods and connected communities.

THE DIFFERENCE:
TRUSTED NEIGHBORS

Community members rely on people they know. Your support ensures helpers stay available when challenges arise.

YOUR GIFT FLOWS
WHERE IT'S NEEDED MOST

1️⃣ You Give to the Matching Pool
Your support doubles every public donation.

2️⃣ Helpers Get Timely Support
We guide them through paperwork, unlock stalled grants, and bridge gaps before delays harm their work.

3️⃣ Relief Reaches People in Need
Food, support, connection, and culturally grounded practices continue without interruption.

4️⃣ Stories and Gratitude Flow Back to You
You’ll receive brief, meaningful updates showing the relief work your gift kept moving.

These humble hometown heroes don’t ask for much. Many use their extra time to build new connections that keep families fed, restore outdoor respite spaces, and strengthen community ties. But when their all-volunteer teams face time shortages, these unsung servants can suddenly face burnout or financial strain.

If nothing is done to help them stay encouraged and ready to face the worst, their work risks stopping altogether.

Your support keeps their efforts alive. But not with a large institution's approach. These leaders deserve individual coaching and regular one-on-one expert care.

One gift ensures leaders can call on Groundswell Growth for guidance, technical assistance, and the right connection they never knew they needed — in that crucial moment when they need help most.

When you give, it’s more than just helping right-fit services to continue. You stand beside the people who make community resilience possible.

“I keep working with Groundswell Growth because I could tell you understood why the way we do things is best for the people.”

– Les, community changemaker

These leaders' relief efforts grow because of the power of timely, leveraged support like yours.

Lead other givers and restore hope, health, and balance, charging other supporters to give back like we mean it.

BE A MATCHING ALLY IN THE RECIPROCITY CYCLE

Community helpers take on the responsibility of caring for their neighbors every week. With your support, their relief work continues without delay: reliable, culturally rooted, and deeply needed.
