About Give Lively

Give Lively is a tech company reimagining the future of nonprofit fundraising. We believe that nonprofits, no matter their size, should not sacrifice their means to satisfy their missions, so we build powerful and practical fundraising solutions that are free for nonprofits and intuitive for donors. We were founded in 2015 by philanthropists who cover our operating expenses so that we never have to charge nonprofits or donors for use of our fundraising platform. By financing Give Lively, our founder-funders activated what we call the Give Lively Effect, our super power: a proven way of democratizing and leveling the fundraising playing field, guiding nonprofits into the digital age, helping them hit their fundraising goals and freeing them to devote more resources to their critical work. We're especially proud to support the values that inspire nonprofits to tackle tough challenges and complex issues like gender and racial equality, reproductive health and LGBTQ+ rights, social and environmental justice, education, domestic violence, immigrant services and more. Our dedicated team’s direct collaboration with nonprofits reflects this; their needs propel the development of our product, which disburdens them of reliance on for-profit fundraising software. Our mobile-ready tech includes online appeals, event- and peer-based campaigns, donation by text, paying via digit wallets and much more, all free for nonprofits after membership approval. Nonprofits using Give Lively have raised more than $400 million for their critical work. At its core, Give Lively places an emphasis on adaptability, joy, experimentation, integrity, urgency and empathy. This is amplified by our commitment to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.
