Givvy - Giving Management + Network for Good

The Idea:

What will change in the world because this Project happens?

Givvy is a comprehensive online giving management system launching in early June. This is a real project with a dedicated team working without funding at this point.

Charitiable giving is personally and emotionally rewarding. By providing a framework and set of tools to improve the way we support our causes, Givvy users will feel more satisfied and successful with their giving.

Givvy is a system to enable donors to accomplish the following:

  1. easily create and manage their giving plan
  2. research over 1 million charities/nonprofits
  3. execute their giving (donate thorugh Network for Good) and track donations made via other methods (mail, phone, etc.)
  4. analyze their giving footprint - what types of charities, what geographic reach, how close their actual giving is to their plan, etc.

At Givvy we believe that better tools for giving can result in a better world.

What information will people interact with to make this change?

We are mashing up IRS data on 1.4m charities, user reviews and ratings, wiki pages for each charity, and more. In addition, we are joining this data to merchant-funded rebate malls to generate donations through shopping, auction services and more.

What else have you done in this Cause Area?

This is our first social venture.

The Assessment
