Even as we continue to make
user-facing upgrades
to our Salesforce integration, we also recently completed under-the-hood stability refinements.
  • Connection reliability: We addressed issues that could cause errors when connecting to Salesforce or saving integration settings.
  • Sync steadiness: We further solidified data sync consistency.
Two number fields now hold the entered number if you scroll while your cursor is over the field
: the ticket prices amounts of the Event Ticketing ticket builder in the Nonprofit Admin Portal and the custom donation amount on donation forms used by donors. Before, in Google Chrome, scrolling with a mouse wheel or trackpad could change the entered number rather than scroll, but only if the cursor hovered over the specific number field. Learn more about Give Lively's fundraising features.
We have completed a rollout that alleviates small misalignment, overlap and font-size issues with the Simple Donation Widget.
This is a followup to our transition to the new Simple Donation Widget. Learn about what makes the new Simple Donation Widget more appealing, efficient and accessible.
We just launched GivingHQ, a free prompt builder for nonprofits that use AI.
GivingHQ turns a nonprofit's mission, voice and goals into detailed prompts for fundraising, email, social media, donor engagement and storytelling. That’s less time spent – and electricity used – conversing with AI and more time for the calls, notes and visits only humans can make. Learn about GivingHQ and then give it a try.

Nonprofits can now use an email address associated with their organization as the public point of contact shown in the footers of fundraising pages and receipts.
Previously, all donors in need of help were pointed to support@givelively.org, which remains the default option if no alternative is provided. Learn how to add a pubic point of contact email address.
Combined screenshots showing how adding an email address to a "Public Point of Contact Email" field results in that email address appearing in the footer on a fundraising page.
A text box now allows for alternative text (aka “alt text”) labels to be added to images nonprofits upload for use on fundraising pages.
This short text description of an image helps users with low vision who use screen readers or other assistive technology. Added “alt text” labels are part of our ongoing accessibility conformance efforts. Learn about "alt texts" and other nonprofit accessibility recommendations, as well as recent accessibility updates.

Donors using a keyboard to navigate through a Give Lively donation form no longer lose their selected suggested donation amount when they tab into the custom amount field.
Now, a chosen selected amount is only cleared when a custom amount is entered into the field. Donors clicking on the custom amount field with a mouse were not affected. Donation forms on Event Ticketing pages remain the same for now. Learn more about accessibility at Give Lively.
