Give Lively vs. Bonterra Network for Good

We are a technology firm redefining the landscape of digital fundraising for nonprofit organizations, offering solutions that are impactful, user-friendly, and at no cost. Nonprofits play a vital role in enhancing society by tackling significant issues such as gender and racial equality, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ advocacy, social justice, education, domestic abuse, and services for immigrants, among others. However, these organizations often encounter internal obstacles; fundraising technology can be prohibitively expensive, and standing out to potential donors in a saturated digital environment presents its own set of challenges, even with the surge in online contributions. To address this, we created an easy-to-use, no-cost fundraising platform tailored to meet the unique needs of nonprofits, relieving them of the burdens associated with profit-driven fundraising software. By offering our technology for free, we enable these organizations to allocate more financial resources toward their core missions. We hold the belief that nonprofits should not have to compromise their resources in order to fulfill their objectives. Our robust and efficient fundraising tools are accessible at no charge to nonprofits, while also being simple for donors to navigate. Organizations utilizing Give Lively have successfully raised over $400 million for their essential initiatives, resulting in savings exceeding $25 million in technology fees. We are committed to sharing the love with nonprofits indefinitely, ensuring they can focus on what truly matters—making a difference in the world.
