Listen Later

In this episode of Purpose & Profit Podcast, Dave Raley and Carly Berna are joined by Grapevine Founder and CEO, Emily Rasmussen, for an exciting discussion about an exciting and growing trend known as crowdgranting.


Emily founded Grapevine, an organization dedicated to bringing people and communities together to further the giving movement, and she shares her passion for giving and how she has managed to share it with the world.


Next, she dives into the definition of a “Giving Circle” and what it means to build one, offering real-world examples along the way.


Later, she explains the difference between crowdgranting and crowdfunding, sharing how crowdgranting can be a more powerful approach to philanthropy. 


Also along the way, Emily talks about: 

  • The “Four C’s” of crowdgranting that nonprofits should be aware of.

  • One of the most popular giving circle models on Grapevine’s platform and why it was so effective.

  • An exciting partnership that Grapevine formed with Bombas, and how it increased awareness of Giving Circles.

  • And much more + a lightning round at the end!
