## Editorial score: 5.2 / 10

## The review

GiveSendGo is a faith-based donation crowdfunding platform that grew from an idea three siblings had in 2014, with a public beta following in early 2015. It markets itself as a leader in online fundraising and frames giving through an explicitly Christian lens — best known as the crowdfunding site with a 'Pray' button alongside its donation tools.

The platform is funded by voluntary donor tips and an optional give-back percentage from organizers rather than a mandatory platform charge, with payment-processing costs applied per donation and slightly higher rates for fundraisers based outside the United States. Payments run through unnamed PCI-compliant processors, and the company does not publish its corporate headquarters, legal entity, or data-residency details on its accessible pages.

GiveSendGo's distinctive position is its willingness to host campaigns — including legal-defense and political fundraisers — that some mainstream platforms decline, paired with a faith-community audience that larger secular rivals do not target. That same permissiveness and religious framing make it a poor fit for organizations seeking a neutral, secular brand. For US-based faith communities and causes turned away elsewhere it fills a clear gap; for European nonprofits, the US-centric operations and thin compliance disclosure weigh against it.

Supported payment options include credit and debit cards, direct bank transfers, Google Pay, and Stripe's Link one-click checkout, though Apple Pay and PayPal are not listed. The platform operates internationally and can display donations in several currencies, with payouts beginning a few days after the first donation and settling to a bank account within a few business days.
