Hi Run Walk Ride. Do what you do. Do it for a great cause.

Strut your mutt. Tap dance for tabby cats… or even parade for penguins. No matter how you do it, fundraise for animals you care about.

Change the world. Simple as. Pick a proecess. Raise money. Make a difference.


We help ordinary people raise extraordinary amounts of money for causes they care about.

FirstGiving is dedicated to one purpose: empowering passionate nonprofit supporters to raise more money than they ever thought possible for the causes they care about.

We partner with nonprofit organizations to allow them to plan, execute, and measure successful online fundraising campaigns and charity fundraising events with our fundraising software. For individual fundraisers, we aim to make it easy, effective, and even fun to raise money online! For donors, we take the friction out of making a secure online donation.

Our simple, yet powerful tools, along with the fundraising tips and fundraising ideas on FirstGiving, allow nonprofits and their supporters to meet and exceed their goals of raising money for important causes, building awareness, and expanding the world of giving.
