Our story

Living Connected.
Giving Perfected.

Giving is already joyful. Our job is to protect that joy by removing everything that gets in the way — the friction, the clunky tools, and the overpriced fees.

Where this started

It started with a simple frustration.

I give to my church. I give to a friend’s ministry in East Africa. I give to a food bank my wife and I believe in. And every month, that means three different websites, three different logins, three different systems.

I built GivApp because I just wanted one place to do all of that. Turns out a lot of people want the same thing.

But the more we built, the more we realized: the problem wasn’t just that everything lived in different places. It was that every existing platform was built for administrators, not for people. The donor experience was an afterthought. Community was a separate product. And the pricing? A percentage of every gift — meaning the platforms that claimed to serve the mission were quietly skimming from it.

GivApp is what we built instead. A platform where giving is simple, community is built in, and every dollar goes where it was meant to go.

What we believe

Four values we actually live by.

These aren’t wall posters. They’re the filters we use when we’re not sure what to do.

Value 01

Accessibility is the product.

If it’s not effortless, we’re not done building it. A pastor should be onboarded in 30 minutes. A donor should give in under 60 seconds. Complexity is a bug, not a feature.

If a feature adds confusion for the end user, it doesn’t ship until it’s simple. If copy requires explanation, rewrite it.

Value 02

Affordability is a conviction.

We’ll never charge a percentage. We’ll never profit from the size of someone’s generosity. Flat pricing isn’t just a strategy — it’s a statement about how donor money should be treated.

If a pricing change puts small organizations at a disadvantage, it violates this value. Every dollar given should arrive where it was meant to go.

Value 03

Built around the giver.

Every other platform centers the organization. We center the person giving. That’s not a feature — it’s the difference. When donors thrive, the communities they support thrive.

When prioritizing features, ask: does this improve the donor’s experience of giving? If yes, it moves to the front of the line.

Value 04

Every mission deserves great tools.

A 50-person church and a global nonprofit should both have access to tools that make them look professional, run efficiently, and grow. We don’t gate quality behind budget size.

If a small organization using the $25/month tier gets a lesser experience than a large one, we’ve failed this value. Quality is not tiered.
