How Givolve works
Give money to someone who needs it
- Browse verified needs on the Needs page. Filter by category or search.
- Pick a need and choose your gift amount. An optional tip supports Givolve.
- Pay securely with your card. Your gift is held securely and then paid out to the recipient's verified account.
- Get real updates as the need is funded and fulfilled.
Donate a free item
- Post the item you want to give away with a photo and description.
- Choose how it gets claimed: let people apply with a reason (you pick who gets it), or first come first served.
- A person in your community claims it and arranges pickup with you.
- The item goes to someone who needs it instead of going to waste.
Ask for help
- Tap "I need help" and choose: financial help or an item you need.
- Tell your story. What do you need and why? Add a photo if you can.
- Your need gets reviewed and verified by the Givolve team.
- Givers in your community see your need and can help directly.
