Groundwork: The Bridge Between Intent and Impact.
Groundwork is a two-way ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between dedicated volunteers and the movements that need them most. Join our growing network to build your volunteer team. Currently available at no cost to political campaigns.
THE PROBLEM
The Gap in Grassroots Organizing
Most campaigns struggle with volunteer "churn" and scheduling gaps, while volunteers often feel their time isn't making a real impact.
THE SOLUTION
Groundwork bridges this gap. We don’t just list opportunities; we facilitate the perfect match. By aligning availability, values, and specialized skills, we ensure that every hour volunteered is an hour spent moving the needle.
Two Paths to Success
For Campaigns
Scale your impact with the right talent.
• Targeted Role Matching: Find volunteers specifically looking for phone banking, canvassing, digital organizing, social media, design etc.
• High-Efficacy Onboarding: Match with volunteers who already have the skills you need, reducing training time.
• Schedule Syncing: Our platform matches your campaign’s with volunteer availability.
For Volunteers
Your time is valuable. Make it count.
Find the roles where you can actually make a difference, on your own terms.
• Cause-First Search: Support the issues that matter to you, like climate, reproductive rights, education, healthcare, etc.
• Role Personalization: Are you a natural conversationalist or a data wizard? Find roles that play to your strengths.
• Flexible Involvement: We connect you with initiatives that can integrate however many hours you choose to contribute.
