Built for nonprofits. Free to use.

No percentage taken

We earn affiliate commissions from retailers — not a cut of your donations. 100% of the purchase value goes to your organization as items shipped directly to you.

Free to join

No listing fees, no subscription costs, no per-transaction charges. Verification is free and posting needs is free.

Direct retailer fulfillment

Items ship from Amazon, Walmart, or Target directly to your door. No volunteer pickup coordination, no warehouse middlemen.

Verified badge

Once verified, your organization displays a Verified badge that signals to donors that your 501(c)(3) status is confirmed.

Donor messaging

Donors can message your organization directly about specific needs. Build relationships with your supporters through the platform.

Analytics dashboard

Track funded needs, confirmation rates, and donor engagement over time. Understand what resonates with your donor community.

Common questions from nonprofits

How long does verification take?

Most organizations are verified instantly via automated IRS lookup. If your EIN isn't matched automatically, manual review typically takes 2 business days. You'll receive an email when your status changes.

What kinds of needs can we post?

Any specific item available from Amazon, Walmart, or Target that your organization genuinely needs for charitable purposes. Physical goods only — Givonit does not support cash-need listings (use the cash donation feature for that).

Can we post needs for multiple programs or locations?

Yes. You can post needs for different programs and associate them with different ship-to addresses within your organization's account. Each need specifies its destination address at posting time.

What if a donor purchases something but we never receive it?

Self-report the need as unfulfilled. We'll flag it in our system. The retailer (Amazon, Walmart, or Target) is responsible for fulfillment — donors can follow up with the retailer's customer service for shipping issues.

Is there a limit to how many needs we can post?

No hard limit during the current phase. We ask that all posted needs be genuine, current, and specific — needs older than 90 days without activity are archived automatically.

How do we receive cash donations made through the platform?

Cash donations are sent directly to your organization's Stripe Connect account. Givonit does not hold your funds. Contact us to set up Stripe Connect during onboarding.
