This is the best free fundraising software
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.
PROSWhen I found out about this, I didn't actually believe it was free. 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.
CONSThere 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.

Free is not always free.
My biggest issue is the tech support. there was no way to find support once you are logged in. you have to go to the main page not logged in to see the chat option. I did this two different times and both times the response was the same. "I will have to send this onto an engineer" at one point I was told that "this was a fee product". Does that mean I am to expect it not to work? The tech support is horrible.
PROSAt first glance it does many of the things that the other commentators do. It is easy to set up things on a basic level.
CONSThe Events and live display is not worth wasting time on. in an event setting the text to donate makes it hard for a donor to give more than once. Although there is a check bo for saving the cc info it did not work. on top of that the Apple Pay froze on the computer and did not even show up on my phone. there is now way to just guest lists once someone has purchased a ticket, its just a stoic spread sheet. All in all the events module is not worth the effort.
Reason for choosing Give Lively
It was cheaper. If I do not receive a good response from the Give Lively team them I will be purchasing MobileCause. If I do receive a good response I will update my review.

Love Give Lively! Would definitely recommend this for non-profits who are trying to fund raise.
PROSLove 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!
CONSThere'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.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the kind words, Maya! We're thrilled our platform is a good fit for your nonprofit. To avoid any confusion, we want to clarify that our platform is free: no annual fee, and we don't take a percentage of donations. Reference our Forever Free Pledge: https://www.givelively.org/forever-free-pledge The fees you reference are standard payment processing fees charged by Stripe, a separate payment processor we use to process donations made using our fundraising technology. Stripe charges a fee to collect money from a credit card or through a bank. Give Lively offers donors the option to cover this transaction fee, which most opt to do. Thank you again for trusting us with your online fundraising. We're so glad we can support you!
