Your community deserves
its own app.

GrovLink gives nonprofits a fully branded mobile app for clients, volunteers, and donors, without the $40K custom build. Configurable, affordable, and yours from day one.

Diverse hands cupping a young sapling — growth and community

Does this sound familiar?

  • You're reaching clients through paper flyers, Facebook groups, and text chains.
  • A custom app sounds great, until you see the $40–80K quote.
  • Volunteers don't know what's happening unless someone texts them.
  • Donors give once and drift away, with no ongoing connection to your mission.
  • Managing multiple affiliates or chapters means fragmented, inconsistent outreach.
  • Your community deserves a real product, not a workaround.
Let's Fix That

Why an app

Your website, social, and newsletter are doing real work. People still miss more than you think.

Even with several outreach tools in place, clients, volunteers, and supporters still lose track of classes, programs, services, donation opportunities, and what's happening week to week.

Always within reach

So much connection happens in quick moments on a small screen. An app keeps your classes, services, and events at one tap, instead of asking people to dig up the right link, email, or social media post on their phone.

The channel for immediate connection

Your website, social media presence, and newsletter still matter. They each have an important role for reach and story. A mobile app is for immediacy; the repeat touchpoints people rely on between events, when motivation is high but attention is short.

A place people can come back to

Social feeds are noisy; email piles up. In your app, the important stuff is the main event: updates, ways to help, and ways to participate show up as soon as they tap your icon.

The better way

This is why we built GrovLink.

One shared platform powers many nonprofit-branded apps. Each organization gets its own app icon, store listing (iOS and Google Play), user onboarding, theme, and enabled modules, while we handle the infrastructure behind the scenes.

You focus on your mission. Your community gets a real, polished app with your name on it.

See How it Works

Our latest nonprofit rollout

Our latest rollout is with Love INC of Newberg, Oregon, a regional affiliate that helps churches and neighbors serve families together in the Willamette Valley.

GrovLink comes from UpStart Productions, a Pacific Northwest studio that has built technology with nonprofits, universities, and public agencies for over 25 years. We stay close to the organizations we serve and the GrovLink platform is built to grow with each new partner.

Who it's for

Built for the people doing the work.

GrovLink serves the full nonprofit ecosystem, from the clients who need help to the staff who deliver it and the donors who make it possible.

Clients & Participants

Find services, complete intake, get event notifications, and stay connected in one place with your organization's brand.

Volunteers

Sign up for shifts, get updates, and feel like part of the team. No more chasing confirmations through group texts.

Donors & Supporters

Stay close to the mission. See impact, get updates, and give again because they have a real connection, not just a receipt email.

Multi-Site Orgs

Chapters, affiliates, and campuses each get a scoped experience, without managing separate apps or codebases.

Simple by design

From zero to app, without the headache.

Fully custom or more complex? National networks, custom data connections, formal service agreements, or phased rollouts usually need a written scope and price, often building on Program with extras such as integrations, dedicated support, or SLAs. There is no one-size-fits-all number. We will outline what makes sense on a call.

Setup minimum and initial term

Setup minimum. Each paid tier has a minimum one-time setup due at kickoff: $499 on Starter, $799 on Growth, and $1,199 on Program. That covers your standard launch: onboarding in GrovLink, configuring your branded app and modules, and launch support. Setup is billed separately from your subscription. If we agree on work , we bill it at $120/hour in addition.

12-month initial subscription. After you are live, service is billed monthly or annually (annual billing saves 10% compared with twelve separate monthly payments). Your agreement includes a minimum twelve-month initial term so we can invest in a solid launch and ongoing support. When that term completes, subscription typically continues in successive 12-month periods unless your contract describes something different.

Exact wording, payment timing, and renewal terms are always spelled out in the contract you sign.
