Who We Are
Give Lively was created by philanthropists who are inspired by the wide variety of nonprofits making a difference here and around the world. Our founders work extensively with nonprofits, and they have seen first-hand the positive impact effective technology can have on nonprofit fundraising, at least for organizations that can afford it.
In 2015, they formed Give Lively with a mission to level the playing field by offering a digital advantage to nonprofits, no matter their size or the visibility of their cause. Our operating costs are covered so that we can develop and deliver innovative tech our nonprofit members at no cost, helping them fulfill their mission while saving them time and money.
Competitors + Fees
Our products are free to use for nonprofits. No setup fees, no monthly or annual fees, and no hidden transaction fees. Our payment processor, Stripe, takes a discounted fee when a donation is processed. Here's how we stack up to the competition:

"Thank you for choosing to amplify My Brother's Keeper Alliance in your #ThanksObama campaign! We appreciate everything that Team Give Lively does to make the planet a better place!"
"Decide how much you want to donate, make the payment and that's it. The full 100 percent of the payment you make will go to the charity you choose"
"Thank you to Give Lively for featuring us on their home page! I think that had a lot to do with us receiving those gifts on Small Token. As a nonprofit operating on a shoestring budget in uncertain political times, these donations make a big impact!"
"Because Civic Nation is a national nonprofit organization, it was critical for us to partner - for free - with Give Lively to leverage their technology and marketing expertise to reach our potential donor base."
"If you're interested in giving (or getting) a charitable donation as a gift in someone's name, try [Give Lively's] Small Token, where you can create and donate to charitable gift registries for no fee."
"We used Give Lively's Small Token Gift Registry platform to successfully launch a long-term campaign after our priorities shifted due to the political climate. Not only did we receive 100% of the proceeds, but also Give Lively provided our donors with a joyful, inspiring experience."
"[Give Lively's] Small Token is an opportunity to divert the funds that would go to more stuff-who needs another set of dishtowels, really?-to efforts like The Girl Project, the Lifebox Foundation, and many more. This is a gift everyone can feel good about."
