We build better fundraising tech and give it away for free.
Give Lively's products drastically improve the online giving experience for donors and help nonprofits raise more for their cause. Plus, it's free (seriously).
What Do We Mean By "Free"?
Much like a foundation, Give Lively was created for the sole purpose of giving away what we build. Our philanthropist founders cover the cost of running our business because they believe that every nonprofit should have access to the best fundraising tech, no matter their means. This frees us to serve nonprofits without having to consider profit. We don't charge nonprofits for use of our services.
No setup fees, no monthly or annual fees, no contracts and no hidden transaction fees. The only fees that come out of a donation are the standard transaction fees charged by Stripe, an industry-leading payment provider we partner with to process donations (and better yet: Stripe offers discounted fees for nonprofits). We cover the rest.
Our Donation Platform
We're confident our donation platform is simple and easy-to-use for donors and nonprofit staff alike. At its core, it's built with safety and security in mind, and designed to be supportive of your organization's fundraising goals.
Smart Donations
Smart Donations is a smart, simple, and secure direct donation platform. Smart Donations can live as a standalone page, or can be embedded directly onto a nonprofit’s current website. It offers nonprofit members unparalleled customization, and makes giving fast, easy, and transparent for donors. Smart Donations is only available to Give Lively members.
What To Expect From Our Products
Quick To Setup
You can start fundraising on our platform in minutes. Just use our 2-step registration process to become a Give Lively Nonprofit Member and we'll generate a Smart Donations page for you immediately.
Easy To Customize
Our Nonprofit Member Portal is a centralized place for you to update and customize your Smart Donations page. Add your logo, impact stories, custom donation amounts, misson statement and more.
Designed For Donors
We believe that the experience for donors should be as joyful and easy as sharing a photo on Instagram or buying a cup of coffee with Apple Pay. That's why we built Smart Donations with the participation of donors, ensuring that they feel good doing good — and do so in just 1-click.

"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."
