Our Zapier integration will allow nonprofits to connect Give Lively to 5,000+ other web services and automate actions when new donations come in, such as syncing to other databases and CRMs, triggering internal alerts based on criteria such as gift amount, or passing donor contact details to a marketing suite.

We have updated all materials to show that the check processing fee for Giving Basket disbursements by check is now $0.92.
This is $0.04 more than a previous increase, this one due to rising postage rates and imposed by the third party responsible for managing the check preparation and mailing. Disbursement checks are sent to nonprofits that receive donations through Charity Navigator’s Giving Basket, powered by Give Lively, but are not Give Lively members. Learn what the value of the Giving Basket check you receive represents and why the check might not be for the full value of donations received.
