About Us Firstgiving is a private company founded to connect supporters with causes. Our online tools help individuals raise more money for the causes they are passionate about, and can be used to fundraise for any nonprofit organization, using any event or personal occasion as a reason. We provide online personal fundraising pages that fundraisers can personalize and email to their friends, family and coworkers to ask for secure online donations to support their cause. Online personal fundraising is simple and eliminates the hassle and cost of traditional letter-writing and telephone fundraising campaigns.Fundraisers who use our pages raise more money on average than those who don't. Our products also make the donation process simple for the donor and the benefiting nonprofit organization. We send out thank you emails to donors on behalf of the fundraiser and the organization, as well as donation acknowledgment emails to donors for their records. Donations are automatically transferred to the designated non-profit organization. We offer real, personalized support to fundraisers, donors and organizations to make sure that both the fundraising and giving experience are easy, successful and enjoyable. Firstgiving is the US office of Giving, Ltd. The company was established in 1999 in London, England as Justgiving; the US office opened in Lexington, MA in 2003. In December, 2005, we changed the name of the US part of the business to Firstgiving to distinguish ourselves in the marketplace. Firstgiving is considered a leader in providing online fundraising tools to fundraisers and organizations, helping thousands of individuals raise millions of dollars for over 2500 US nonprofit organizations. Firstgiving is committed to offering the best value and the best online fundraising tools to our users. We succeed only when our fundraisers succeed.
