We work for nonprofits, not profit

Our mission is to power your mission – through exceptional tech, resources and customer support, all part of your free membership.

Free for nonprofits (really)

We don’t charge nonprofits for use of our platform – no setup fees, platform fees, membership or subscription fees, annual or monthly fees, or hidden Give Lively fees.

Breakthrough values + powerful fundraising

We use civic success values as a core membership criterion. Our nonprofit community is united behind visions of a better world.
