We added to the
values that we hold dear and against which every nonprofit membership application is reviewed for alignment.
Previous values are shown in italics below; new values are in bold. Our member nonprofits must not:• discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation or military status in any activities, programs or operations;
• advocate against or deny the rights of women;
•
advocate against or deny the rights or existence of anyone on the basis of their sex, gender, gender expression or sexual orientation, including transgender and gender nonconforming people;
•
advocate against or deny the rights of historically underrepresented groups, including Black, brown, AAPI and Indigenous people;
•
advocate against or deny environmental or social sustainability practices, especially with regard to renewable energy; land, water and air rights and use; and the growing climate emergency;
• advocate for the sale, ownership and/or civilian use of assault weapons, weapons of war, high capacity magazines, automatic weapons or any mechanism that can convert a firearm into an automatic weapon;
• disseminate hate speech or dangerous speech, promote or incite violence online or offline.
Our values are one reason nonprofits may choose Give Lively over other fundraising platforms.
