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.

Hayley Walker

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 running a book drive on Givelink

How much does it cost to run a book drive on Givelink?

Nothing. Givelink is 100% free for nonprofits: no setup fees, no platform fees, no subscription, no minimums, and no contract. We are funded by an optional tip donors can leave at checkout and by supplier-side partnerships.

Can we ask for specific titles and reading levels?

Yes, and it is the whole point of running a book drive this way. You publish the titles, levels, or categories you need and donors buy from that list, so you stop receiving adult paperbacks for an early-reader program.

Can we ask for books in other languages?

Yes. If the families you serve read Spanish, Arabic, or any other language at home, list those titles specifically. It is the gap a general collection almost never fills, because donors cannot guess it.

Are the books new?

Yes. Everything is bought new from our catalog and shipped from a supplier, so nothing arrives damp, torn, or decades out of date, and you have no unusable books to dispose of.

When is the best time to run a book drive?

Book drives work year-round, which is unusual among drives. The moments with the most attention behind them are back-to-school in August, Read Across America in early March, National Library Week in April, and May, when a summer reading message lands well.

Do donors get a tax-deductible receipt?

Yes, automatically, the moment their gift is delivered. You do not issue anything by hand, and you can see every receipt from your dashboard.

Do we see who donated?

Yes. You get the donor name, email, and exactly which books they bought, so the person who furnished a classroom is someone you can thank and come back to.

Can a school or business run a drive for us?

Yes. Share your drive link and everyone in the building can take part from their phone, including remote staff. A single business can cover a full classroom set in one go.

Can we run a book drive alongside other drives?

Yes. You can run multiple drives from one account, each with its own page, list, and link, so a book drive does not interfere with anything else you are collecting for.

Can supporters outside our area take part?

Yes. Because donors buy online and items ship to you, distance stops mattering. Alumni, remote employees, and family members anywhere can give to a local drive.
