Recensionen
Give Lively is a US fundraising platform founded in 2015 with an unusual model: it is built and run by philanthropists who cover the company's operating costs so that member nonprofits are never charged for the software. It serves only US 501(c)(3) organizations, reviewing each membership application, and reports thousands of active member nonprofits.
Because its founders underwrite operations, Give Lively does not levy platform charges on nonprofits; it is sustained instead by voluntary donor tips. Payment processing is handled through partners including Stripe, Shift4, PayPal, and DAFpay by Chariot, and donors can opt to cover processing costs so organizations retain the full value of each gift, with rapid disbursement and no holding period.
Give Lively's strength is cost: a genuinely underwritten toolkit lets nonprofits keep more of what they raise, and its feature set - campaign pages, donation widgets, text-to-donate, events, peer-to-peer, and team fundraising - covers the essentials well. The trade-off is strict eligibility: membership is limited to US 501(c)(3) nonprofits aligned with the founders' values, so individuals, non-US organizations, and for-profits cannot use it. For qualifying US nonprofits this is compelling; for everyone else it is simply unavailable.
The platform has helped members raise well over a billion dollars and emphasizes the savings members realize versus paid fundraising software. Operations are US-based, including support on US time and US-oriented payment processing, so it offers no European local payment rails and is not designed for cross-border fundraising.
