Getting Started

Everything you need to know about the fees and payment methods associated with use of Give Lively technology. We don't charge you anything, but third-party processors do.

Generosity should never be compromised. That's why we take privacy, security, and transparency very seriously. With both donors and nonprofits, we pursue proper steps to protect data and keep private and secure what should remain private and secure.

Give Lively does capture some data. Here is what we record and where we gather it, as well as a reminder that we never collect financial information and always protect all data.

Both your Core Profile and your Campaign Pages can act as fundraising pages, but they are not the same. Understand why.

In the event that a fundraising page isn't working properly, first check the browser. Give Lively works best on the latest versions of most desktop/laptop computers and mobile devices, except Internet Explorer.

A three-step checklist (with support video) to get you set up and fundraising on our platform in no time.

Stripe is an industry leading payment processor trusted by over 100,000 companies and nonprofits. To use Give Lively technology, you MUST complete ALL THREE of the following: (1) create and activate a Stripe account, and connect it to Give Lively, (2) Apply for Stripe's nonprofit discount, and (3) Set up your account to accept ACH bank donations. Learn why and how.

Give Lively Nonprofit Membership includes 24/7 secure access to the Nonprofit Admin Portal, the back-end management system where nonprofits can oversee their online fundraising and donor data. Read more about it.

The Nonprofit Admin Portal is where you manage all of your online fundraising using Give Lively technology. Learn what you can do, how to add new team members to the portal and what happens if you forgot your password.

Your Core Profile acts as the foundation for your fundraising efforts, no matter what Give Lively fundraising solutions or products you use. Many nonprofits even use the fundraising page associated with their Core Profile for year-round fundraising. Customizing your core profile is therefore a very important first step.

While we consider quick donation disbursement to be important, the speed of disbursement is in part a function of the form of payment and whether a nonprofit is a Give Lively member.
