Nonprofits have saved $100 million in tech costs on $1 billion raised through Give Lively

Published

on

These major milestones are a result of Give Lively’s commitment to helping nonprofits satisfy their missions without sacrificing their means.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — This month, Give Lively, the pioneering free nonprofit fundraising platform, is celebrating two of its most significant milestones to date: Give Lively estimates it has saved the nonprofit community at least $100 million in tech expenses on $1 billion raised since its start in 2015.

Give Lively’s active membership includes approximately 9,000 nonprofits, but it has served a wider universe surpassing 50,000. These are the organizations that have saved tens of millions of dollars a year in fundraising costs, money they would otherwise have spent on the software and fees of for-profit digital fundraising platforms. Core to its mission of making fundraising technology available to nonprofits for free, Give Lively does not require nonprofits to pay for use of its platform – no setup fees, no platform fees, no membership or subscription fees, no annual or monthly fees.

“I’m proud of the cost savings we’ve achieved – real money we’ve been able to redirect back into the hands of the nonprofits that need it most,” said David DeParolesa, CEO of Give Lively. “If anything, I continue to be shocked by how much money other tech platforms charge, and how confusing and complex their business models can be,” he continued, referring to service providers like Blackbaud, Bonterra, Classy and Eventbrite, among others, that demand significant sums to use their technology. “This is a sector that deserves clarity and transparency, not hidden fees and surprise upcharges.”

Give Lively’s focus on free is made possible by its philanthropist-founders, Jennifer and Jonathan Allan Soros, who underwrite Give Lively’s operating costs. They see Give Lively as a sustainable and efficient way to help meet the nonprofit community’s development needs, all while democratizing tech for nonprofits and leveling the digital fundraising playing field. They believe fundraising tech should be powerful, practical and free for all nonprofits. Give Lively also started welcoming optional tips from donors as a way to further extend the reach and capacity of its free products and services.

What $100 million means
The only required fees associated with Give Lively are the transparent costs of third-party payment processors, like Stripe, PayPal and Shift4 (coming soon), responsible for securely managing transactions from donation to disbursement. Other fundraising platforms, however, maintain complex pricing models, often levying supplemental charges such as Classy’s 4.29% platform fee, GlobalGiving’s 5% upcharge or, in other cases, integration fees, service fees, monthly or annual fees and more.

The $100 million in savings is based on the real prices advertised by these other fundraising platforms. Give Lively analyzes the costs that would have been charged to its member nonprofits if they had chosen to raise the same $1 billion on fee-based platforms versus Give Lively’s free tech and integrations.

“We think $100 million is a conservative estimate,” said DeParolesa. “There are plenty of those hidden fees and service charges on other platforms that we haven’t covered in our calculations.”

Of note, the $100 million figure includes savings for over 45,000 nonprofits that have received donations through Charity Navigator’s Giving Basket, powered by Give Lively. Give Lively was selected by Charity Navigator, the world’s largest and most trusted nonprofit evaluator, to build a new and improved Giving Basket. Launched in 2021, it enables donors to give directly to approximately 1.8 million nonprofits through Charity Navigator at no additional cost to nonprofits.

The value of values
In addition to Give Lively’s emphasis on the power of free, Give Lively leans on its progressive values, embraced as a core membership criterion. Give Lively personally reviews every membership application to ensure nonprofits align with its commitment to gender and racial equality, reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights, social and environmental justice, universal health and education, immigrant services and more.

“I could not be more proud of Give Lively,” said Jennifer Allan Soros, Give Lively’s co-founder. “What started as a free, single-product alternative to expensive digital fundraising tools has matured into a fully rounded, multi-product platform and game-changing market force. That the exceptional Give Lively team has held true to our guiding ethos demonstrates how technology can amplify social impact.”

About Give Lively
Give Lively (givelively.org) is a tech company reimagining the future of digital fundraising for nonprofits – powerful, practical and free. It builds easy-to-use fundraising solutions that are free for nonprofits and intuitive for donors, all while staying true to progressive values. Nonprofits using Give Lively have raised more than $1 billion for their critical work from 8 million-plus donations.

Perceptive eClinical Launches Technology-Enabled Clinical Supply Consultancy in Alliance with Trialzen

Published

Expert-led clinical supply strategy powered by advanced planning and analytics technologies.

NOTTINGHAM, England and LASNE, Belgium, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Perceptive eClinical, a leading provider of interactive response technology (IRT) and eClinical solutions, and Trialzen, an expert-led Forecasting and Supply Technology company, today announced an alliance supporting Perceptive eClinical in the launch of its Clinical Intelligence Consultancy Service, Perceptive Clinical Intelligence. This transforms its long–standing clinical supply expertise into a fully integrated, expert–led service spanning the entire clinical trial lifecycle and enabled by Trialzen’s advanced clinical supply planning technologies.

Perceptive Clinical Intelligence combines Perceptive’s deep expertise in randomization and clinical supply optimization with data-driven, technology enabled mathematical optimization, simulation, and forecasting to support smarter planning across the trial lifecycle. This integrated offering helps sponsors design, stress test, and manage clinical supply strategies with greater confidence and operational control. By formalizing its in-house expertise and therapeutic experience, Perceptive unifies randomization, trial supply management technologies and clinical supply consulting to enable more informed, scalable, and lower risk supply decision making.

“Clinical trial supply decisions are too critical to rely on tools alone,” said Malcolm Morrissey, Head of Perceptive Clinical Intelligence. “While supply discussions often focus on stock levels and overage, the real risk is patient impact. Supply availability determines whether visits happen, treatment is delivered on time, and sites can operate with confidence. Effective supply management means looking beyond IP numbers to understand patient continuity and visit level risk across the entire trial.”

Industry benchmarks show that approximately 50% of Clinical Finished Goods (CFG) manufactured for clinical trials are never administered to patients, representing hundreds of millions of dollars in wasted drug supply each year1.

“Setting up Perceptive Clinical Intelligence reflects the next step in Perceptive’s evolution, combining deep clinical supply and randomization expertise with data–driven technology to enable smarter supply planning, and increased supply confidence, and continuity across the trial lifecycle,” said Shaun Hopgood, Chief Operating Officer at Perceptive eClinical.

Perceptive eClinical and Trialzen have each delivered proven results for sponsors, with real–world engagements generating savings exceeding $1 million and materially reducing supply overage.

A Technology Enabled, Expert-Led Approach

Delivered by Perceptive’s in–house specialists, the consultancy is built on 30 years of experience supporting biotech and large pharma across randomization and clinical supply management. It combines Perceptive’s proven supply–modelling expertise with Trialzen’s advanced calculation and simulation engine, fully integrated into Perceptive’s next–generation platform, Clinphone Pro.

Anchored in deep oncology expertise, where global scale, complex dosing, and multi–layered supply chains increase planning risk, the consultancy also draws on experience across Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Infectious Diseases, and supports emerging areas such as Precision and Nuclear Medicine, and Cell and Gene Therapies. 

Reflecting on this alliance and its objectives, Cedric Druck, CEO and Co–Founder of Trialzen, commented: “Trialzen was built by clinical supply experts who spent years watching planning decisions get made on spreadsheets and gut feel, then handed off to execution systems with no feedback loop. This collaboration with Perceptive closes that gap. By integrating our forecasting and simulation capabilities directly with their IRT platform, we enable sponsors to move from scenario planning to operational action in a single environment, with full transparency at every step.”

At the heart of this alliance is a shared belief that clinical supply planning and execution should live in one connected environment. “Together, Perceptive and Trialzen are working toward a unified way of operating, where strategic decisions and day–to–day execution come together, enabling greater visibility, smarter scenarios, and more confident supply decisions from manufacturing through to patient dosing”. said Tony Street, Senior Vice President Strategy at Trialzen.
