The GivenGain effect

Your reach is bigger than your list.

Your charity can only reach the people it already knows. Every champion opens the door to everyone they know – and that is where new donors come from.

No subscriptions. No platform fees. No feature paywalls. Just a global fundraising network built to help charities raise more.

Structured for trust

A non-profit, built solely for charities.

Most fundraising platforms are venture-backed software companies. GivenGain is three non-profit foundations – we hold every donation as funds for charities, never as our own income, and we can never be bought or sold.

Secure payments

Every donation is processed to bank-grade, PCI-compliant security standards.

Your data, protected

GDPR-aligned, consent-based and fully exportable. Your donor relationships belong to you.

Cross-border compliance

Our foundation structure carries the regulatory and tax-receipting burden across borders – not your team.

Backed by three foundations

Three non-profit foundations – US 501(c)(3), UK registered charity and Swiss foundation – behind every transaction.

Pricing & fees

Simple, transparent pricing.

No subscriptions. No setup costs. No feature paywalls – just a transparent nonprofit model.

~97%
of every donation reaches your charity on average – because most donors choose to cover the fees at checkout. That works out to a 2.56% net effective rate, lower than a standard 3% card fee.

A nonprofit model, not a subscription

  • No subscription, no setup cost and no feature paywalls
  • When a donor doesn’t cover fees, GivenGain’s standard nonprofit contribution is 5% of the donation
  • Any surplus is reinvested into the platform – security, compliance, technology and 24/7 support

Most donors cover the fees

  • At checkout, donors are invited to cover the 5% contribution and ~3% payment processing
  • 85%+ of donors choose to do so globally
  • So on average, around 97% of each gift reaches your cause
Proof, not promises
