What is 'keep it FREE'?

‘keep it FREE!’ is Givergy’s new initiative that makes our platform 100% free to you, meaning 100% of money raised goes to your cause.

We enable this by inviting your donors to voluntarily contribute at checkout, which covers all platform fees and payment processing fees, ensuring all funds go directly to your good cause.

Standard bidding

Gives guests the ability to bid on any item as many times as they like. Guests can remain anonymous if they choose, and use their ‘My Bids’ area to stay updated on progress.

Max bidding

Allows guests to place a maximum bid on a specific item. The system will then bid on their behalf, increasing by the pre-set bid increments each time they are outbid until it surpasses their maximum bid. They will then receive an out-bid notification to bid again.

I found the Givergy system very intuitive to use. Hannah was very good and worked hard to sort everything out. She was good at explaining how things worked which we really appreciated

Jeremy Pilkington, Director

The Pilko Invitational

Great service as always! The event ran smoothly with great auction prizes and happy guests! It’s tough to run a quiz event and serve a three-course menu simultaneously, so the timings were very tight, but all worked well.
