It’s that tax time of year and we’re here to help nonprofits and donors!

We want to make certain that donors are aware of the tax summary material available to them in support of their tax needs.

Just as we’ve done in past years, we assist donors who must file U.S. taxes by providing them with easy and secure access to a full summary of the 2023 donations they made to nonprofits organizations through the Give Lively fundraising platform.

Access to the 2023 tax summary

Donation tax summaries are available to donors at all times within our secure online Give Lively User Portal. This portal is designed for everyone who has contributed to a nonprofit through digital fundraising technology powered by Give Lively.

Any donor with an existing User Portal account can log in and follow the “Now Available: Your 2023 Tax Summary” links. First timers on the User Portal must first create an account using the same email address submitted when donating. This needs to be a functioning email address and will be verified for the security of the account.

The 2023 tax summary

The “Your 2023 Tax-Deductible Contributions” page within the User Portal is a printable report organized around each unique customer name associated with the user’s email address. (For example, multiple family members may make donations using the same email address, but submit their own names when they fill out the payment form.)

Under each unique name is an alphabetized list of the nonprofits to which that specific customer donated in 2023 via Give Lively technology. We also show the total tax-deductible dollar amount (as reported to us) that each customer donated to that nonprofit. If needed, individual donation receipts are also available through the “Payment history” page of the User Portal.

Tax summary cheat sheet

We know that donors may desire more information about the tax summary. In anticipation of that, here are some common questions and answers.

Where can donors access their tax receipts?

All receipts for past donations are available in the donor’s User Portal. Here’s how donors can find them.

Can Give Lively donation receipts be resent to donors?

Donors can find their receipts in the User Portal (see above), but there’s no option to resend them.

Can donors download a tax summary?

On-screen tax summaries are available within the User Portal. Donors can use the “Print” button on the tax summary page to print it out or save it to their computer as a PDF file.

What if donors don’t see a tax summary or are missing donations in the User Portal?

- If there’s no tax summary and a donor gave in 2023, the donor should confirm that the login email for the User Portal is the one used to make the donation. If it is,  contact Give Lively support.

- If a donor is missing a 2023 donation to an organization, the donor should check if the donation was placed on their behalf. If the nonprofit did so without logging out of its own Give Lively account, Give Lively data will show this as a donation from the nonprofit, not the donor. The data cannot be changed, but contact Give Lively support to explore other options.

- If a 2023 donation is missing from both the donor’s and the nonprofit's summaries, or if it is a mistaken donation, contact Give Lively support.

We hope this helps nonprofits and donors with useful information!
