Give Lively

Give Lively is a free fundraising platform for U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofits, offering campaign pages, donation widgets, text-to-donate, event ticketing, and peer-to-peer fundraising with no setup, platform, membership, or subscription fees. Its operating costs are covered by philanthropist founder-funders; nonprofits pay only third-party payment-processing fees, and membership requires an application with a values-alignment review.

Our verdict

Last verified Aug 25, 2026

Genuinely free, philanthropist-funded fundraising suite with a real Salesforce integration and strong event and peer-to-peer tools; held back because built-in donor management is light (deep CRM work relies on the Salesforce sync) and membership is application-only for U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations.
