It’s time to bid 2025 adieu. What better way to say “farewell” than a trip down memory lane on our busy blog?

Our goal on the blog is to provide value to our nonprofit community by elevating the crucial work of our members, introducing the people behind our technology, sharing best practices for successful fundraising and keeping you informed about company news and our latest product enhancements.

We covered a lot of ground this year, publishing 65 posts to inspire, educate and support your missions. We're especially proud to have featured 71 nonprofits in our nonprofit spotlight series.

In case you missed anything, here’s a look back at this year’s articles.

Members

Our member nonprofits are our favorite thing to write about! Over the past year, we shared profiles of dozens of nonprofits, focusing on different issues each month, including: a (now complete) series inspired by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015; and a new series elevating nonprofits filling the void left by the dissolution of USAID.

Staff profiles

Give Lively is powered by a small but passionate team deeply committed to our work and its impact. We've profiled roughly half our team thus far (nine in 2025) to showcase the human element behind our technology. These are the people ensuring smooth support interactions, designing user-friendly products and engineering an optimally functioning platform.

Company announcements

As a values-based organization, we speak out against injustice. Some of our articles reflect these values and clearly articulate our position on global events. We also share word of company-wide developments and celebrations like our 10-year anniversary, milestones in money saved for nonprofits and weekly Community Office Hours.

Product announcements

These articles provide information about platform improvements and new features. In 2025, that included the addition of donor-advised funds as a new payment method, pre-membership access to the Nonprofit Admin Portal and new donor capabilities in the User Portal. If you want to watch the nitty-gritty of product development, make sure you’re keeping up with our Changelog.

Best practices

In 2025, we concentrated on strategies and tactics for making the most of our platform, especially through general strategic planning and communication, and particularly during “giving season.” In addition to sharing specifics lifted from two highly-attended educational webinars, we compiled learnings culled from successful member nonprofit campaigns.
