Givvy - Giving Management + Network for Good

Challenges Entered:

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 area of work?

This is our first social venture.

Project goals:

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:easily create and manage their giving planresearch over 1 million charities/nonprofitsexecute their giving (donate thorugh Network for Good) and track donations made via other methods (mail, phone, etc.)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.

Identified Obstacles:

We need funding to cover license fees and initial launch activity.
