Giving for the Living is more than a donation platform — it's a movement to bring generosity back. We connect people who care with causes that matter, creating real impact through small, intentional acts of giving and tracking it every step of the way.
Who's behind Giving for the Living?
We’re a global team of everyday people — donors, volunteers, tech engineers, and dreamers — united by one belief: that giving should feel human, heartfelt, and hopeful. We're building a space where compassion leads the way.
Where are you based?
Our work crosses borders. While our operations are led from the United Kingdom our mission and the people we serve, span the globe.
Can I see where my donations go?
Yes — and that’s at the heart of what makes Giving for the Living special. We believe you deserve to see the difference you’re making. That’s why every donation you make is linked to real updates, stories, and impact reports from the charities you support. Your personal Giving Dashboard makes it easy to follow your journey — track your donations, revisit causes you care about, and witness the change you’ve helped create.
Donations
How do I make a donation?
Giving should be simple and meaningful. Just create an account, explore the causes close to your heart, and give in a way that works for you — one-time or recurring. Every donation, big or small, carries hope. Then you can track which causes you have donated to and what hope it has brought people.
Can I choose which charity to support?
Absolutely. You know what moves you — and we trust that. Choose the charities you connect with, or let us guide you based on your interests and values.
Is there a minimum donation amount?
We believe in the power of small-scale giving. That’s why we welcome donations starting from as little as £0.5. Because even the smallest act of kindness can create a ripple of change.
Security & Payments
Is my payment information secure?
Your trust means everything to us. We use trusted partners to make sure your data stays private and protected — always.
Do you store my credit card information?
No. We never store your card details. All payments are handled securely by our payment provider, Stripe, so you can give with peace of mind.
Will I get a donation receipt?
Yes, you’ll receive a digital receipt after every donation, and you can access your full donation history anytime. We’re all about transparency — and making it easy for you to track your impact.
Charities
How do you choose the charities you work with?
Every charity on our platform goes through a thoughtful vetting process. We look for organisations that are transparent, impactful, and aligned with our values. We build relationships with them — so you can build trust in where your donations go.
Can I suggest a charity to be added?
Yes, please do! We’re always listening. If there’s a cause or charity close to your heart, let us know. We’ll review it carefully — because our platform grows stronger with your voice in it.
Do charities pay to be listed on Giving for the Living?
No. Our platform is free for charities. We're here to support their mission, not profit from it. Every donation goes further that way — exactly as it should.
