The review
Give2you is an Irish online fundraising platform that launched in 2021 as a brand of Eventmaster, an Ireland-based event-registration company, initially as an add-on to Eventmaster's event sign-up process. Based in Limerick and operating under the laws of the Republic of Ireland, it concentrates on charity and event-based fundraising for the Irish market.
The platform is powered by Stripe, with funds flowing directly to each beneficiary in real time rather than being pooled and paid out later. For charities there are no setup or subscription charges; instead, donors are by default given the option to cover the payment-processing cost at checkout, and may also choose to leave an optional contribution to the platform. Give2you notes that, unlike some platforms, it does not automatically deduct processing charges from donations.
Give2you's strength is its tight integration with large Irish participation events: when people register for an event through Eventmaster, they can automatically spin up a customizable fundraising page, which has made it the fundraising provider behind events such as the Irish Life Dublin Marathon. The trade-off is a strong domestic focus - it is built around Irish charities, clubs, and events, with limited evidence of operation beyond Ireland.
Donations are processed by card through Stripe, and personal data is handled under GDPR with transfers kept within the EU and European Economic Area under standard contractual clauses. The event-fundraising integration, real-time payouts, and donor-covers-cost model make it well suited to Irish sports clubs, charities, and mass-participation events, though organizations needing broad international reach or a wide local-payment-method mix may find it narrow.
