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 and 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.
