The Early Years, aka The Mid 90s

Groundwire (formerly ONE/Northwest) was founded in 1995 by two of the region’s leading environmental foundations, The Bullitt Foundation and The Brainerd Foundation. We were launched with a vision of helping Pacific Northwest environmental groups use the Internet to build stronger ties to the public and to each other. Since our founding we have helped over 1,000 environmental organizations.

Online Tools and Strategy

We customize online tools to support an organization's theory of change, provide campaign design assistance, and help develop engagement pyramids for the groups we work with. We build websites and databases, and consult on email, online advocacy and social media.

And, we are able to offer our services at a deep discount thanks to the generous support of foundations and individuals who believe in the impact we make.

Groundwire Labs

Groundwire has earned an international reputation for leadership, innovation and impact in the field of nonprofit technology assistance. Our developers are leaders in creating technological solutions that can be adapted and repurposed for the many environmental organizations we work with—raising the capacity of the larger movement.
