It is not necessary to become a Give Lively member to have access to some of Give Lively’s fundraising tools, however those who aren’t members don’t have access to all the products. Additionally, non members must wait 30 days for paper checks to be issued to their organization for any donations collected via the Give Lively tools.

Becoming a member with Give Lively requires submitting your organization's EIN and proof of 501c3 and signing up for a Stripe account (unless your organization already has one).

After signing on with Give Lively nonprofits can customize their products via the member portal. Give Lively’s main fundraising tool is Smart Donations. The Smart Donations product includes a widget that can be imbedded in your website or Facebook page. It is optimized to look good on any device from desktop to tablet.

Your organization can customize the Smart Donations page to reflect your organization's brand and mission statement.

Payments via Smart Donations process through a secure Stripe account and donors can pay via credit, debit, direct debit or Apple Pay.
