NYC Startup Unveils Absolutely Free Event Ticketing Platform for Nonprofits

Nonprofits can now promote and sell tickets to all their events for free using Give Lively’s new Event Ticketing product, in time for year-end fundraising. Give Lively’s powerful Event Ticketing technology is designed specifically for nonprofit use, and it doesn’t take a cut of online ticket sales like other platforms on the market. It’s the latest addition and integrates seamlessly with Give Lively’s robust suite of fundraising technology products including Fundraising Pages, Text-to-Donate, and Peer-to-Peer, all available for free to 501(c)(3) organizations.  


Give Lively is a philanthropist-funded tech startup in New York City that is disrupting the nonprofit space by building innovative fundraising tech and giving it away to nonprofits for free. The organization empowers nonprofits to raise more online using best-in-class technology at no cost so they can fulfill their mission without sacrificing their means.

“Events are a major part of nonprofits fundraising strategy,” said David DeParolesa, Give Lively CEO. “But, unfortunately, a lot of technology on the market that facilitates online ticketing is prohibitively expensive, or not designed for nonprofit use. Our nonprofit members inspired us to offer a platform that’s built specifically for charitable organizations and the events they host, and that they don’t have to sacrifice event revenue to use.”

Give Lively’s Event Ticketing platform gives nonprofits the tools they need to sell tickets to any event, from galas to walk-a-thons, conferences to volunteer days, and much more. The technology can also be used to collect RSVPs, sponsorships, and registrations. Nonprofits can create user-friendly event pages with custom ticketing and sponsorship tiers in addition to imagery and video.

“The design of the event page itself is intended to reflect the nonprofit’s brand, but also immediately prompt supporters to see event information and purchase tickets seamlessly,” said Brooke Currence, VP Marketing at Give Lively. Built with mobile-first design in mind, Event Ticketing looks great across all devices. The platform offers an elevated donor experience that allows attendees to get through the checkout process quickly, easily and securely with one-tap checkout available via Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Other features that make Give Lively’s Event Ticketing perfect for nonprofits events include:

  • Linking the event page to a larger fundraising campaign

  • Setting a tax-deductible amount for each ticket price

  • Designing custom ticket levels like tables that can be composed of multiple seats

  • Give Lively members such as the New York Women’s Foundation have already relied on Give Lively’s Event Ticketing to promote and sell tickets to end-of-year fundraising events. The biggest fundraising months occur at the end of the year, and Give Lively is gearing up to empower as many nonprofits this fundraising season with Event Ticketing.
