Apply for Give Lively Membership

 Have your 501(c)(3) nonprofit’s EIN ready, and make sure your organization has a GuideStar profile.

 Find out if your organization has a Stripe account and, if so, make sure you have access to it.

We use Stripe to securely manage financial transactions between you, your donors and your bank. Without a Stripe account, you will not be able to receive donations, so we don’t review applications until a Stripe account has been identified and connected to us.

Don’t have a Stripe account yet? Don’t worry! Once you apply, we’ll make one for you and guide you through setting it up. Learn more about Stripe.

 Learn about Give Lively’s values.

We personally review every application to ensure each nonprofit member aligns with our values. You will not use our platform or products to:

• discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation or military status in any activities, programs or operations,
• advocate against or deny the rights of women,
• advocate for the sale, ownership and/or civilian use of assault weapons, weapons of war, high capacity magazines, automatic weapons or any mechanism that can convert a firearm into an automatic weapon,
• disseminate hate speech or dangerous speech, promote or incite violence online or offline.

 Apply ahead of time.

Because we manually screen all applications, the usual review period is 7-10 business days from the moment you connect your Stripe account to Give Lively.

Is your timeframe tighter than that? Complete your application and then advise of this need in the appropriate place.
