Full titles now appear in Google calendar invites, whereas any texts following the & symbol had been cut off. Learn more about how to build an Event Ticketing page.We shared a new Member Story about Wellness Warriors, a Give Lively member nonprofit since 2019.

Read about its creative approach to Peer-to-Peer Fundraising. For a short time, the anonymity toggle was missing from Simple Donation Widgets.
The toggle is now back and fully functional, allowing donors to remain anonymous if they choose. Learn how to add the ability to make private/anonymous donations and how to use embeddable widgets to collect donations on your website. We reverted to prior settings in the
Details
column in the
Transactions

Going forward, when nonprofits navigate to Payout
and export the Transactions
report, the Details
column will include new customers’ names, not email addresses. Learn how to export donor data from Stripe. We've added Venmo as a payment method and made PayPal available for recurring payments.
These are just the latest new payment methods, which already include credit/debit cards, ACH/bank transfers, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Spoiler: donor-advised funds (DAFs) are next. Learn about Venmo and monthly PayPal.
The dropdown list of US states and territories on widgets is now fully scrollable.
For a moment, some of the dropdown answers were cut off.The Team search function in the
Supporters
box (aka Peer-to-Peer Leaderboard) on Campaign Pages functions normally once again.

These include:- fresh fundraising page design enhancements
- expanded custom questions on donation forms
- multiple improvements to the donor payment process.
Because nonprofit passion is the bounce in our step, we also included mention of a few major milestones powered by our growing membership of approximately 9,000 nonprofits, and some important reminders and company news. Read the full article and learn how your GivingTuesday campaigns and giving season can be better than ever.
This month, we registered the 1,000th member nonprofit using our Salesforce integration
, accounting for a healthy proportion of our 9,000 active members. In keeping with our commitment to fundraising technology that is free for nonprofits, our members have full access to this first-class, five-star, native Salesforce integration that is fully compatible with Salesforce's Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) and automatically syncs Give Lively data to Salesforce on an hourly basis. Read about this 'Give Lively for Salesforce' milestone.
Give Lively now uses nonprofit data from the California Franchise Tax Board and additional sources at the IRS to determine a nonprofit’s fundraising eligibility.
This is in keeping with our shift to public data for nonprofit information that guides membership eligibility and good standing. Learn about what IRS databases we reference for nonprofit data, how this affects Give Lively membership requirements and how nonprofit governance and delinquency laws might affect access to the Give Lively platform.
