Give Lively is a fundraising platform built specifically for 501(c)(3) nonprofits in the United States, currently used by more than 50,000 organizations that have collectively raised over $1.5 billion. It provides tools for digital fundraising (campaign pages, donation widgets, text-to-donate), event fundraising (event ticketing, live donation displays), and peer-to-peer fundraising (personal and team fundraising pages, leaderboards).
Donors can give one-time or recurring gifts, and organizations can also log offline donations. Payment options include credit/debit cards, bank transfers, digital wallets, PayPal, and Venmo, processed through partners such as Stripe, Shift4, PayPal, and DAFpay by Chariot. Nonprofits get real-time donor analytics, mobile-responsive giving pages, bank-level encryption, and a Salesforce integration.
Give Lively's core platform is entirely free for nonprofit members — there are no setup, membership, subscription, or platform fees. Operating costs are covered by philanthropic funders, and donors are optionally prompted to leave a tip or cover payment-processing costs at checkout. Standard third-party payment processing fees still apply (starting around 1.99% + $0.25 per card transaction), and funds are disbursed to nonprofits on a rolling basis with no holding period.
