Anmeldelsen
GiveNow is an Australian online donation platform founded in 2001 and based in Melbourne, describing itself as Australia's first digital fundraising platform. It is built specifically for small to medium-sized charities and not-for-profit organizations, and operates as a social enterprise of the Our Community group, which serves Australia's large community-organization sector.
The platform is operated by Our Community Pty Ltd and uses a percentage-based pricing model with no subscription, lock-in, or upfront cost; donors are given the choice to cover the platform's cost at checkout, and the platform reports that most of them do. Pricing tiers scale by capability, and a per-donation cap limits the platform's share on large gifts.
GiveNow's core strengths are its not-for-profit, low-overhead positioning and its Australian data residency: all customer data is stored locally in Australia, which matters for local privacy expectations. The trade-offs are a single-country focus - it operates only in Australia - and an English-only, domestically oriented product, so it is not suited to international or multi-currency fundraising.
Payments support Visa and Mastercard, both Australian and international cards, American Express, and direct debit for recurring giving, processed under Australian pricing where GST applies. The combination of low percentage-based costs, an optional donor-covers model, and local data storage makes GiveNow well aligned with Australian community groups, charities, and not-for-profits seeking a no-lock-in fundraising tool.
