It’s fundraising event season. We’ve assembled resources that will help make the most of annual (or special) fundraising gatherings
– galas, outings, signature events and even virtual/livestreamed a-thons. Ask the right technical questions at venues. Set up a best practices event checklist. Be sure to reach out for support. Set yourself up for fundraising event success.
We bolstered the customization of event start times and end times on Event Ticketing pages.
Instead of conforming to a few preset time options, events can now begin and end at any custom time, editable to the minute. Learn how to build an Event Ticketing page.
We simplified the steps to connect Give Lively to Salesforce.
This is part of our ongoing commitment to a refined user experience across Give Lively. Learn how to integrate our platform with Salesforce.
We've adapted our membership application process to account for IRS data delays.
Following our shift to direct reliance on nonprofit data available through the IRS, a handful of nonprofits could not be promptly approved for Give Lively membership. This was due to IRS delays in updating data. We have revised our processes to account for these potential delays without compromising expeditious membership approvals for qualified nonprofits. In some cases, this may require nonprofits to submit additional materials for further verification. Learn what IRS databases we reference for nonprofit data.
We’ve made long-awaited improvements to digital wallets on widgets and the Payment Method page.
Apple Pay is now accepted as a payment method on all of our products, including widgets, and it appears, as does Google Pay, as a payment option alongside all others on the Payment Method screen of our donation form. Read more about these digital wallet updates.
Leading and trailing (empty) spaces accompanying a search terms are automatically trimmed.
This improves the user experience when using the search bar for all reports in the Reports Portal. Explore the donor data available for member nonprofits.
New, detailed error messages now appear if nonprofit admins encounter errors connecting Give Lively to Salesforce.
The Give Lively support team is standing by to help if further assistance is needed. Learn how to integrate our platform with Salesforce.

We’ve restructured the navigation on our givelively.org website.
Since we launched the current version of the Give Lively website in 2021, so much new detail has been added that the original site navigation no longer suited. To account for everything we have today and allow for future growth, we’ve restructured the navigation. Read about our website’s new navigation.top_nav_bar_2024_op1
We have updated all materials to show that the check processing fee for Giving Basket disbursements by check is now $0.93.
This is $0.01 more than the previous increase, this one due to rising postage rates and imposed by the third party responsible for managing the check preparation and mailing. Disbursement checks are sent to nonprofits that receive donations through Charity Navigator’s Giving Basket, powered by Give Lively, but are not Give Lively members. Learn what the value of the Giving Basket check you receive represents and why the check might not be for the full value of donations received.
To assist donors who file U.S. taxes, we have arranged easy and secure access to a personalized summary of the donations they made to nonprofits that used our fundraising platform in 2023.
This was done in compliance with U.S. federal tax law. All Give Lively member nonprofits will soon be advised of this so that they can support their donors’ tax needs. Donor tax summaries (as well as individual donation receipts) are located in the Give Lively User Portal. Read what and where the Give Lively User Portal is and how donors can find their annual summary of donations.screenshot_2024-01-22_at_3
