Posted by Alex Shipley on Feb 13, 2024
So you clicked the button. We get it! Just like fundraising on GiveSendGo and those days of sending rickrolls to your friends - resisting that button was simply irresistible. Now that you're here, GiveSendGo wants to assure you, just like Rick, we'd NEVER give you up, let you down, or run around and desert you. Our commitment to your fundraising journey is as unshakable as the rickroll trend itself. Never gonna give you up We believe at our core in sharing hope and we want you to do the same when you use GiveSendGo! That's why we're here to guide you as you embark on your giving or fundraising journey. Making a difference is possible wherever you are. Just say yes and put in the work; we're here to help with the rest! Never gonna let you down Just like Rick Astley's anthem, GiveSendGo won't disappoint.

Plus, we offer prayer features like a prayer button on every campaign page and a prayer wall where you can share your prayer requests and praises. Never gonna run around and desert you Unfortunately, other crowdfunding sites may ditch you faster than someone falling for a rickroll! We've seen them shut down campaigns due to their political and ideological bents, neglecting to defend people's freedom to fundraise. It's like the worst kind of breakup. But worry not - GiveSendGo is dedicated to safeguarding your freedoms, so you can rely on us in your time of need. You deserve a platform that's here for the right reasons! Never gonna make you cry Unless, of course, they're happy tears because your campaign just hit its fundraising goal! Rest assured, we'd NEVER make you cry for any other reason-unless you're watching adorable baby animal videos or soldiers reuniting with family after a long deployment (wipes tear - that one gets us every time), in which case, that's beyond our control. Never gonna say goodbye We're not in the business of goodbyes. Once you give, pray, or start your campaign with GiveSendGo, you're part of the family. Our commitment to you doesn't end when your campaign does. We're here for the long haul, like a love story that transcends time and space. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Like Astley, honesty is our policy, just like in any good relationship. We're transparent about our processes and our mission: to share the hope of Jesus through crowdfunding. No lies, no deception-just a genuine desire to help you make a difference in the world one campaign, donation, and prayer at a time.

GiversSkip the Coffee for a Day, Share Hope on GiveSendGo Instead
Posted by Alex Shipley on Sep 8, 2023
In a world where our daily lives often revolve around the pursuit of convenience and personal indulgence, it's easy to forget the profound impact that a small act of giving can have on someone else's life. We all have our guilty pleasures, like that $5 cup of coffee (sometimes more for those elaborate coffee orders) we grab on our way to work each morning. But what if we told you skipping that coffee just once a month could be the key to making a genuine difference in someone's life? Welcome to GiveSendGo, where a small sacrifice can make huge impact on the life of someone in need. Giving Up That $5 Coffee: The First Step Imagine this: You wake up early for work and rush out the door. Maybe you didn't have time to make your morning coffee, or perhaps, going through that drive-thru is a morning ritual for you. Whether you have your eye on that intricate, frothy, spiced delight that costs a bit more than your regular brew or you're a fan of the no-frills black coffee that gets you through your day, it's all about the comfort, convenience, and routine that coffee brings. But today, you decide to break that routine, to make a small sacrifice. Instead of indulging in your regular cup of coffee, you choose to put that $5 (or more) to a better use. On GiveSendGo, you have the unique opportunity to give that amount to a campaign that you care about. It could be about supporting a local community project, extending a helping hand to a family in need, or aiding a charity that tirelessly works towards a profoundly meaningful cause.

Every month, GiveSendGo Charities combines the Giver Army's monthly donations into grants and awards them to qualifying campaigns associated with each selected cause. Whether it's supporting disaster relief efforts, funding medical treatments, or empowering educational initiatives, your combined contributions are channeled to where they are needed most. The Ripple Effect: How Your Giving Impacts Lives The beauty of GiveSendGo lies not only in the direct help it provides to those in need but also in the ripple effect it creates. Your $5, when combined with the donations of fellow givers, becomes a beacon of hope for someone in crisis. It can be the difference between despair and recovery, between missed opportunities and a brighter future.
