In-kind giving,reimagined.

Givelink makes in-kind giving your strongest engagement tool. Get 60% more giving per donor, without the operational mess.

100+ nonprofits across the US & Europe already use it.

You know the pain. We built the fix.

Most in-kind tools were never designed for nonprofits. They were designed for gift registries. Here's what changes with Givelink.

Today

Amazon, other wishlists, drop-offs.

Donors disappear after giving

No access to donor information. You can't reach back to them. They're left wondering if anything happened.

Surprise packages at your door

Boxes show up unannounced. You guess what's inside, who sent it, and where it goes.

No tax-deductible receipts

Current methods make it difficult to create or send tax-deductible receipts back to donors.

Not built for giving

Amazon, Chewy, and Target are leaders in e-commerce, but they weren't designed with donors or nonprofits in mind.

With Givelink

A platform built for you and donors.

Donors stay engaged

See names, emails, and what they gave. Reach back anytime to thank, update, or re-engage.

Batched deliveries, when you want them

You set the pace. Items arrive in scheduled batches according to your preferences.

Tax-deductible receipts on autopilot

Issued automatically to donors the moment a gift arrives. You can access them and keep track.

Built for donors & nonprofits

E-commerce is the medium. The most human, meaningful giving experience is our product.

Already trusted by 100+ transparent nonprofits.

Across the US & Europe, and we’re just starting up. These are some of the teams we get to stand behind.

Hear it from our current partners.

Here’s what accomplished nonprofit professionals said about Givelink.

Givelink has truly changed the way we think about in-kind donations. We're grateful to utilize a platform that makes philanthropy accessible while staying user-friendly and easy to navigate. And, it's refreshing to partner with people who care so much about our work and the impact their product makes in our community!

Hayley Walker

Associate Director of Development - Real Options for City Kids (R.O.C.K.)

The GiveLink platform fills a gap in the donation landscape by enabling donors to easily donate specific items and have them shipped directly. Everything is easy, including saying "thank you" to the donor directly. We love this new fundraising tool!

Our Story

Started by four students to reconnect the world through humanity.

Backed by top impact investors & philanthropists

We started Givelink in Greece, one of the lowest-giving countries in the world by most global rankings. Not trying to build a product. Trying to inspire people to care more.

In just 2 years, Givelink became a mainstream way Greeks support social causes. Our vision became global. Last year we brought it to the US, and we're picking up speed.

Giving isn't a transaction. It's a peak human moment. And it should feel like it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Givelink

Cost & Commitment

What does it cost? Is our partnership free?

100% free for nonprofits. No setup fees, no platform fees, no subscription, no contracts, no minimums. Your organization pays nothing, ever. See it in a 15-min call.

Then how do you make money?

Two simple, donor & nonprofit-friendly channels:

  1. Small optional tip. Donors can leave a voluntary tip at checkout to support our mission, and they can reduce or remove it. Most platforms rely on mandatory fees. Ours is optional.
  2. Supplier-side partnerships. Some suppliers offer us preferred pricing, and there is a small (~5%) markup on product prices to cover logistics.

This is what keeps the service free for you while ensuring stable inventory and fast fulfillment.

Is there any commitment or contract?

No. No contracts, no fees, no minimums. Set up your profile and you are ready to receive in-kind donations. You can pause or adjust your wishlist anytime, based entirely on your needs.

Does Givelink replace our existing fundraising or reduce cash donations?

No. Givelink is a complementary in-kind channel that works alongside your existing fundraising. Nonprofits that add a "Give In-Kind" option see a 15-25% increase in unique donors, because it attracts a different type of giver while your cash donations stay exactly where they are. Think of it as a second front door for supporters who want to give something tangible.

I need to get internal approval. What should I share with my team?

We make it effortless. Copy and paste this to your ED or board:

"I found a way to get more donations, full donor data, and automatic tax receipts, for free. Givelink is an in-kind giving platform used by 100+ nonprofits. Setup takes 15 minutes, partners see 15-25% more unique donors, and there is no contract, no fee, and no risk, we can pause anytime. It adds to our fundraising without changing anything we already do."

Want a one-page overview, a security brief, or a live walkthrough for your board? Book a 15-min call and we will prepare exactly what your team needs.

Products & Sourcing

We already have an Amazon Wishlist. Why do we need Givelink?

An Amazon Wishlist just fulfills. Givelink turns every gift into a donor you can keep. On Amazon, donors check out anonymously, so you never know who gave, cannot thank them, and cannot re-engage them. Every gift is a dead end.

Point by point:

  • Donor data. Amazon: none, checkout is anonymous. Givelink: full donor contact info flows to you automatically, ready to export.
  • Re-engagement. Amazon: impossible. Givelink: message donors directly and turn one-time givers into repeat supporters.
  • Proof of impact. Amazon: nothing after checkout. Givelink: donors get a photo when items arrive, which drives them to give again.
  • Tax receipts. Amazon: you handle it. Givelink: automatic, triggered by your delivery photo.
  • Fundraising lift. Amazon: a static list. Givelink: a shareable link and website button that bring you new donors.
  • Product range. Amazon: catalog only. Givelink: 3,000+ products plus personalized sourcing, we add whatever you need.
  • Switching cost. None. Set up your Givelink wishlist in minutes.

Same convenience for your donors, far more value for you. See the difference in a 15-min call.

Who are your current suppliers and what products do they offer?

We currently source through Amazon, Group Sales, and DollarDays, giving nonprofits wide range and strong pricing. Together they cover virtually every category a nonprofit might need, from food and hygiene to clothing, pet supplies, and electronics.

Can I request specific types of products?

Absolutely. Request anything through this quick form. Because we work with multiple suppliers, we can add new products fast, so your wishlist reflects exactly what you need.

How do you ensure product quality?

Our partner suppliers and supermarkets guarantee the quality of donated products, following the same criteria and regulations they apply to all their orders and deliveries.

What are your future plans for product sourcing?

We are expanding partnerships with the largest national wholesalers and retail chains, so nonprofits can access any essential product they need at the best possible price, with reliable quality and fast fulfillment.

Does Givelink handle cash donations?

Givelink facilitates product donations, which is exactly what sets us apart from traditional donation platforms. When a supporter wants to give money, our 'SmartPick' algorithm converts it into the best possible combination of products based on your specific needs.

Getting Started

Is Givelink right for my nonprofit?

If your nonprofit accepts in-kind donations, Givelink is built for you. Food banks, shelters, animal rescues, schools, clinics, and community programs all use it. The one requirement: you receive physical goods (food, supplies, clothing, equipment) as part of your work. If donors ever hand you items, or you wish they could, Givelink turns that into an organized, trackable channel. Not sure if you fit? Book a 15-min call and we will tell you honestly.

Where do I manage our profile, donations, and needs?

Everything runs from your Givelink Nonprofit Dashboard, your own dedicated space at ci.givelink.app. After our intro call we send your login, and from there you handle it all in one place: your profile, wishlists and needs, incoming donations, deliveries, donor messages, and tax receipts. It is built specifically for nonprofits, so there is nothing technical to install and nothing to maintain.

How long does it take to set up? We are short-staffed.

A ~15 minute initial setup, and under 30 minutes a month after that. Three simple steps:

  1. 15-minute setup. Confirm your details, shipping address, and wishlist.
  2. Receive every two weeks. Products arrive and you upload one photo (about 5 minutes) to close the loop for donors.
  3. Adjust anytime. Update your wishlist whenever your needs change.

Everything else, donor communication, tax receipts, and order fulfillment, is handled by Givelink automatically. No new tool for your team to learn.

How can I browse available products?

We already offer 3,000+ products across every major category (food, hygiene, cleaning, clothing, baby and pet items, office and tech, and more), and we keep adding national distributors so you always get reliable availability and fast delivery.

Can I have multiple wishlists?

Yes. Run multiple wishlists at once, for example one for everyday needs and separate lists for specific programs, seasonal drives, or campaigns. Update any of them anytime, and the changes go live within an hour.

Can multiple team members use one nonprofit account?

Yes. Your whole team can work from the same nonprofit account, so managing wishlists, uploading delivery photos, and messaging donors is never blocked when one person is away. Just tell us who needs access when you set up your profile.

How can I get help using the platform?

We are always available. During onboarding we walk you through the whole platform, and after that you can email us at panos@givelink.app or book a call anytime. A real person always answers.

What happens on the intro call?

It is a relaxed 15 minutes, with no obligation. It is also your chance to meet our founders, Panos (COO) and Antonis (CEO), and get to know the team behind Givelink. We learn about your nonprofit and needs, show you the platform, and answer anything about security, setup, or fit. Right after the call, we send you your account credentials so you can set up onboarding at your own pace, and we stay on hand to help with your profile and first wishlist. You leave ready to receive donations. Grab a time here.

Deliveries & Logistics

How often will donations be shipped to my nonprofit?

We typically batch and ship donations every 2 weeks. This keeps deliveries organized for your team, reduces shipping costs, and avoids a constant stream of small packages.

You are fully in control. Request your preferred delivery frequency when you set up your account, and we can always adjust it later for specific delivery days, higher volume, urgent needs, or campaign spikes.

How will I know when donations arrive, and can I track them?

You are notified for every donation on the platform, by email, and via push notifications if you download the app. And yes, you can track everything: each shipment includes a live tracking link, and you can see the estimated delivery date and every order's status in your Deliveries section. Our team also monitors each order so nothing is missed.

Are there any shipping charges?

Shipping is already included in the product prices. Donors never pay extra shipping fees at checkout. They can optionally leave a small tip to support our work, but that is entirely up to them.

What if we have an urgent need?

Just declare the urgent need right in the platform and we ship immediately, with items typically arriving in 3 to 5 business days. You can also email us at panos@givelink.app and we will prioritize it.

How often is the list of needs updated?

Modify your needs anytime, and the changes go live within an hour, so donors always see your current priorities.

Trust, Security & Data

Is Givelink secure? What happens to our donor data?

Bank-level security, and your data is yours alone.

  • Donor data is stored on AWS, industry-standard cloud infrastructure.
  • All payments run through Stripe (PCI-DSS compliant). Givelink never stores card information on its own servers.
  • Donor contact details flow directly to you, and your data is never sold or rented to third parties.

Donors accept our Privacy Policy before giving and can choose to stay anonymous publicly, while still sharing their email with your nonprofit. Many partner nonprofits have run their own security due diligence and were fully satisfied. Need to brief your IT or compliance team? Book a call and we will walk through it with them.

Is my nonprofit's information public?

Your profile is public so donors can find and support you. That is a feature, not a risk. Any promotional use of your name or photos (e.g. social media) always needs your approval first.

On the technical side:

  • Passwords are encrypted
  • Payments handled by trusted third-party providers
  • Google login supported
  • Users can delete accounts or decline cookies at any time

How do I download or export our donor details?

Every donor who gives through Givelink shares their contact details with you automatically. Even donors who choose to stay anonymous still share their email with your nonprofit, so you can always reach them. View everyone in your dashboard and export the full list to thank donors, re-engage them, or import them straight into the CRM you already use.

Do donors get tax-deductible receipts?

Yes. Donors automatically receive a tax-deductible receipt the moment you upload the photo confirmation of the delivered products. It is fully automated, with nothing extra for your team to do.

What do we need to do when a delivery arrives?

Just two things:

  1. Photo on arrival. A quick snapshot when products arrive. This triggers donors' tax receipts automatically and shows them real proof of impact.
  2. Optional thank-you note. A personal message through the Chats section. Not required, but donors love it.

Why do I need to upload a photo when I receive donations?

The photo is quick, and it is one of the most powerful things you can do. It enhances transparency for donors in four ways:

  1. Proof of impact. Tangible evidence the donation arrived and was put to use.
  2. Emotional connection. Donors visualize their impact and feel it.
  3. Transparency and accountability. It shows you use donations effectively.
  4. Gratitude. It opens the door for a thank-you, which drives repeat giving.

Donors, Impact & Growth

Can I communicate with donors directly?

Yes. Message donors individually in the Chats section to thank them or share updates. Every message is a chance to turn a one-time gift into a lasting relationship.

How can I maximize my visibility and donations through Givelink?

Two high-impact moves:

  1. Add the Givelink donation button to your website. A 2-minute integration that lets supporters donate the exact products you need, directly from your site. Partner nonprofits have seen up to 40% more donations.
  2. Share your Givelink link on social media. One link instantly activates your supporter base. Nonprofits doing this receive 35% more donations within their first month.

Can I use Givelink for specific events or fundraising campaigns?

Yes. Update your wishlist to reflect the campaign's specific needs, then share your Givelink link with your audience. Donors see exactly what you need and can contribute in minutes. The urgency of a campaign drives faster, more targeted donations.

Can I run online donation drives, like a back-to-school drive?

Yes, and this is where Givelink shines. Build a wishlist for the drive (back-to-school supplies, winter coats, holiday gifts, hygiene kits) and share one link across email and social. Supporters donate the exact items in a couple of clicks, you get every donor's details, and everyone sees a photo when it arrives. It is a full online drive without the spreadsheets, drop-offs, or guesswork, and you can spin up a new one anytime your needs change.

Is Givelink a good fit for animal welfare organizations?

Very much so. Animal rescues and shelters are some of our most active partners, and our single largest category is Pet Supplies (1,100+ products), from food and litter to crates, bedding, and medical supplies. Your wishlist is highly personalized, list exactly the breeds, sizes, and supplies you go through, and donors fund precisely that. If there is something specific you need, we add it fast.

Which nonprofits use Givelink, and can I see them?

Over 100 nonprofits across the US and Europe already receive in-kind donations through Givelink, from food banks and shelters to animal rescues and community programs. New organizations join every month.

See it live on their own websites:

You can browse every partner, with their profiles and live wishlists, in our nonprofits directory. Want to hear it straight from a peer? Book a call and we will connect you with a partner similar to your organization.

What is the long-term vision for Givelink?

Every dollar should fund something real, specific, and trackable. Not disappear into a black box.

Today, donors buy the exact products your nonprofit needs and see clear proof of impact.

Tomorrow, we extend this beyond products to the full range of essential needs:

  • Program and operational services
  • Rent and utilities
  • Recurring costs
  • Payroll support for your frontline team

All presented transparently, so donors know exactly what their contribution covers.

Your donors will finally know their impact. So will you.
