We saw a way to give nonprofits a boost and took action. Nonprofits make the world a better place. They address tough challenges and complex issues like reproductive health, gender and racial equality, social and environmental justice, LGBTQ+ rights, domestic violence, immigrant services, education, and more. But they also face challenges from within. Fundraising tech can be costly, and appealing to donors in a competitive digital world is easier said than done, even as the number of donors giving online increases at an exponential rate. So we set out to develop an intuitive and free fundraising platform that serves nonprofits’ needs without costly for-profit fundraising software. By providing our technology for free, we empower nonprofits to devote more funds to their missions. We believe nonprofits shouldn’t sacrifice their means to satisfy their missions. We are a philanthropist-funded, social impact–driven tech company, founded in 2015, that collaborates directly with nonprofits to forge fundraising tech and give it away to them. Our founders pay our operating expenses so that we never have to charge nonprofits or donors for use of our fundraising platform. Our powerful and practical fundraising solutions are free for nonprofits and intuitive for donors. Nonprofits using Give Lively have raised more than $400 million for their critical work, saving $25+ million in tech fees and charges. We share the love – for free, forever. > > Verdict: Rated **4.1/5** by 11 users.

It's pretty great to not have to pay a monthly or annual fee for a fundraising product where you can text to give and support a peer to peer fundraiser. > > **Cons**: There are a few add ons that I think would be helpful, like a CRM integration or the ability to message out from this platform. The offerings are basic but FREE so I'm really not complaining. > > I love the text to give an option that is customizable and tied into a campaign and the ability to have multiple campaigns is awesome. ----- ### "Fundraising Guru" — 5.0/5 > **Svetlana** | *23 February 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform is super easy to use and set up. It makes your giving page look professional and user-friendly. > > **Cons**: Some features are not customizable. Not all donor data is collected on every transaction due to the payment options some donors select. > > My overall experience with Give Lively has been positive, and it has fulfilled my basic online giving platform needs. ----- ### "Good for free but could be improved in certain ways" — 3.0/5 > **Jon** | *13 January 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was free and easy to deploy on our sites. People were able to make pages and we were able to put forms on our sites. > > **Cons**: I did not like that it was a bit difficult to run reports and the integration for our walk could have been a little smoother allowing for more people to have access to their team information. > > Overall it was good and would recommend for smaller nonprofits or nonprofits needing a quick fix to get them out of rudimentary CRMs. ----- ### "Give Lively is great, highly recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Heath** | *11 August 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love the low cost and ease of use. It integrates well with our websites. > > **Cons**: More customization and automatic donor matchs for companies would be great. > > I continue to use Give Lively and continue to have a good experience with their products ----- ### "Give Lively" — 5.0/5 > **Maya** | *22 November 2019* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love this donation software. It's perfect for our small non-profit. It's great that they take only a small percentage of our donations and don't charge huge yearly fees. The donation campaigns you can design with this software look great and it's easy to connect to our website\! > > **Cons**: There's really nothing bad about this software from our perspective. Does what we need for a small non-profit and doesn't cost a ton. > > Love Give Lively\! Would definitely recommend this for non-profits who are trying to fund raise. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/82506/give-lively?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/82506/give-lively) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
