GiveNow is Australia's first all-in-one digital fundraising platform for not-for-profit organisations, founded to democratise giving and enable any community organisation to collect online donations through easy-to-use fundraising features. In operation since 2001, our deep sector knowledge and experience have supported us in developing what NFPs need, at the lowest possible cost.
GiveNow specialises in supporting small to medium-sized Australian NFPs that make up the majority of the community sector, and are often operating with minimal tech and marketing resources. That's why we are committed to offering the essential features (one-off and regular donations, crowdfunding, memberships, events, grants search, and automatic receipts and reporting) on a stable and secure system, with 100% local team and data storage.
Our story & Our team
GiveNow started in 2001 as the Australian Giving Centre. Since then, we've grown into a fully-fledged service and have supported over 6,000 Australian NFPs to raise more than $240 million.
We are a social enterprise of Our Community, Australia's leading centre of excellence for the nation's not-for-profits. Our Community is the engine room for creating and disseminating practical, affordable training, leadership, and technological solutions that allow not-for-profit and grant-making organisations to get on with the crucial work of building stronger communities.
Our partners in that work include not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises, government, philanthropic and corporate grant-makers, donors and volunteers, enlightened businesses, and other community builders.
Based in North Melbourne, our small but dedicated team is always happy to help with your fundraising. We come to work every day driven by our mission to inspire and transform giving in Australia. GiveNow sits at the unique intersection between community and technology, and we are committed to building a platform that's intuitive, does more, and costs less.
Why choose GiveNow?
🤓 Most experienced
Founded in 2001, we are Australia's first online fundraising platform, and we have supported over 6,000 Australian community organisations to raise over $240 million. We've been around for a while, and we have seen many other giving platforms come and go in the past 25 years. We are still here, and will continue to serve the community sector for a long, long time.
🔒 100% local and secure
Our team and all data are based entirely in Australia. Your data is secure with us, and we never sell your data to any third parties. We support Australian not-for-profits only, don't store donor card details, and have never had a security breach since the day we were founded.
💰 Lowest fees
Our platform fees are 1.5%-3.5% depending on your plan, with no sign-up, subscription, onboarding fees or lock-in contracts. 90% of donors choose to cover the platform fee, and the transaction fees are a lot lower than mainstream providers like Stripe, PayPal and Square, so most of the time, the cost is negligible for your organisation.
🥰 Community at heart
As an Our Community social enterprise, we're committed to building stronger communities through stronger community organisations. We approach every interaction with goodwill and assume others will do the same.

Donations, peer-to-peer fundraising, events, memberships, and grant search - all in one simple place, plus automatic receipts, EOFY donation summaries, and easy reporting. GiveNow is designed for small to medium-sized community organisations, with no technical expertise required to set up.
🤗 Comprehensive support
We offer 100% human support, including phone, email, weekly group demo and onboarding sessions, as well as 1:1 Zoom sessions. You will also have access to monthly fundraising newsletters and educational workshops - all tailored for small to medium-sized community organisations.
