We build for charities, not for sales funnels.
Most fundraising platforms gate the real product behind a demo call and a tier upgrade. We thought nonprofits deserved a platform they could sign up for at 2pm and take their first donation from at 3pm. So we built one.
Charity software shouldn't feel like enterprise SaaS.
Most fundraising tools we looked at were built for large foundations with procurement teams and six-month onboarding timelines. Everyone else had to choose between a gated "enterprise" quote and a stripped-down free tier missing the tools they actually needed — recurring giving, multi-currency, Zakat eligibility, embed widgets.
We wanted to collapse that. One tier, every feature, day one. A 4% platform fee on each donation and nothing else. Donors can cover it at checkout, so in practice most charities keep 100% of what comes in.
And importantly: the money doesn't sit with us. Givli is a routing layer on top of Stripe Connect — donations flow into your own Stripe account. You keep control of payouts, chargebacks, reconciliation. That design choice sets a ceiling on how much damage we can do, which is exactly the guarantee charity finance teams want.
What we believe
Four principles that drive every product decision.
Sign up, don't book a demo
Charities don't have procurement teams. The product should be usable the moment you land on it — no gatekept features, no tiered plans, no sales call to unlock the basics.
Your money stays yours
Donations go donor → Stripe → your charity's own Stripe account. Givli never holds your funds. If we vanished tomorrow, your donor history and recurring subscriptions stay with Stripe.
Global by default
Multi-currency native (9 live today, more as Stripe enables them). Zakat-eligible campaigns are a first-class toggle, not a plugin. Donors pay in the currency their bank shows.
Say it honestly
Fabricated conversion stats and vague 'enterprise features' don't help anyone. If a number is on Givli, it's from a real charity's real data. If a feature's not ready, we say so.
Three hops, no middleman
Donor pays
in their native currency — Stripe Elements handles the card.
Stripe settles
applies our platform fee on top of the base donation.
You receive it
payouts on your own Stripe schedule, never held by Givli.
Givli doesn't sit in the money path. We're a routing layer and a reporting dashboard on top of Stripe Connect. The implication: Stripe's uptime, chargeback process, and compliance surface is your uptime, chargeback process, and compliance surface — not a startup's.
Roadmap
Read-only first (transactions, campaigns, donors), then webhooks into your CRM.
As Stripe enables additional currencies in Connect, we flip them on for charities.
Salesforce + HubSpot syncing — shipped once the public API is stable.
Per-charity rules + IP fingerprinting for donors, to reduce disputed charges.
