In short
What is the difference between FundEasy and Give Lively?
Give Lively
Give Lively is free fundraising software for eligible U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations, funded by its founders, with campaign pages, text-to-donate, peer-to-peer, and ticket, table, and sponsorship tiers. Donors are offered an optional tip.
Give Lively screens every applicant for “alignment with our values,” which name support for reproductive health and LGBTQ+ rights. It also says it cannot confirm standing for organizations not listed in the IRS Business Master File or Publication 78.
Give Lively does not publish seating, check-in, or table hosts, and it has no CRM of its own, relying on a Salesforce NPSP integration.
FundEasy
FundEasy is fundraising software built for faith-based nonprofits. It charges a subscription, a 0.7% platform fee, and Stripe processing, and never asks donors to tip FundEasy.
FundEasy serves faith-based and mission-driven nonprofits. Faith is the reason we exist, and we see ourselves as your partner in ministry.
FundEasy includes table hosts, sponsor sign-up, meal choices, drag-and-drop seating, and Live Check-in with unlimited events, plus contacts, gifts, and registrations in one place. It connects to eKYROS for pregnancy centers.
