"The best"
5/5
What do you like best about Give Lively?

GiveLively is amazing. First off - it is free! It drives me nuts how expensive so many of the equivalent services are. Even though it's free, it still performs as good or better than any other service I have used. GiveLively charges nothing so its only the fees from Stripe. The interface on the backend as well as user facing is really clean and easy to navigate. The widgets look really nice on a website. And they have Apple Pay which makes it easy to donate. They have text to give that works great, peer to peer fundraising, honestly everything. On top of it - and this is mind boggling since you aren't paying them- the customer service is amazing! I have gotten great help from everyone I have spoken with, they have a place where you can post changes you want to the platform and people can vote/comment on them so GiveLively can prioritize their ongoing improvement efforts based on user needs. They provide updates on what they are working on and really work to address any feedback. It's honestly the best - I have transitioned multiple nonprofits to using it and tell everyone they should switch to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Give Lively?

Honestly nothing - it has been perfect for everything I have needed it for (using it for multiple nonprofits with various needs). I love it and the people who work there. I am so grateful for GiveLively! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Give Lively transforms"
5/5
What do you like best about Give Lively?

I simply cannot say enough about how Give Lively's technology has transformed the work of our volunteer-led community Dollars for Scholars scholarship organizations, in diverse areas where there are digital deserts and low technology use. Without the free, and powerful online donation and event tools Give Lively offers, and the thoughtful and individualized support, our volunteer leaders would simply not offer the option to donate online. Half of our 450 locally operated Dollars for Scholars organizations are now offering online givers an option to donate through Give Lively. All along the onboarding journey, Give Lively worked with us to create a successful transition, thank you, Give Lively team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Give Lively?

While Stripe, the back-end payment processor is tops in data security and allows our donors to cover the cost of the transaction, which is so key(!!!) its approach to customer support can only go up! While Stripe customer support has improved in recent months, it is obvious that Give Lively is designed to work with nonprofits, thank you, Give Lively! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Why Give Lively is the Best Donation Tool for Small to Medium Size Nonprofits"
5/5
What do you like best about Give Lively?

This is perhaps the best tool that smaller and med size nonprofits should use for a host of reasons. It's Free! You can create an event, in person or digitally, which helped us, during the pandemic! You can embed the tool on your website, and donors can stay on your site and trust your brand. The customer support from giving Lively is wonderful, and they really care about the nonprofits they serve and always add new features to help us grow! Thank you Give Lively for all that you do! Love them. Love their product, and I will never leave them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Give Lively?

I really don't, but if I had to pick something, I'm hoping for a recurring feature on the events tools to be added. We use events for more than major galas, we use them for everyday meetups, peer groups, and training webinars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Shift Drink, Counter Culture Coffee, and Give Lively"
5/5
What do you like best about Give Lively?

Give Lively is extremely easy to navigate. It makes fundraising feel almost seamless. The customer support is extraordinary. It's hard to say what I like best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Give Lively?

This is hard. I'm not sure. It would be cool if the fundraising pages under a user could be public at set up similar to a social media profile like Facebook or lol MySpace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Every Nonprofit Should Consider Give Lively"
5/5
What do you like best about Give Lively?

First and foremost, we love Give Lively because it’s free. The best way to empower nonprofits is to give them affordable tools to help them leverage their story. Give Lively understands that fees undercut the primary goal of nonprofit fundraising – which is mobilizing and connecting to donors so that you can carry out your mission. Give Lively’s tools are polished, modern, and easy to use. Set up was a breeze and we were impressed by the on-boarding experience. We hope to use Give Lively for all of our campaigns moving forward. Britt Board, Program & Outreach Manager, Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Give Lively?

If I had to nitpick, I would say that there are some formatting options are a bit lacking - example, you cannot put a space between paragraphs on your impact statement text boxes. It's small, but visually it makes a difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
