Powered by Stripe — the same payment infrastructure trusted by Apple, Amazon, and millions of businesses.

Transparent fees

0.5% GIVA platform fee, clearly itemized before you confirm. No hidden costs, no surprises.

Registered charities

Each charity is verified through Stripe Connect KYC + KYB before they can receive a single dollar.

Every detail removes friction — from discovery to receipt. The result is an experience that respects you.

Your journey

Every gift becomes part of a calm, intentional habit — not a leaderboard.

The Giving Journey

Generosity becomes
a habit.

A quiet generosity index — built by GIVA — recognizes how you give, not how much. Frequency, the breadth of causes you support, your steady presence, and the way you engage with charities all matter more than dollar amounts.

Taking root

Stages reflect how you give, not how much. Each one quietly unlocks meaningful perks along the way — kept respectful, never transactional.

For charities

A simpler way for
charities to receive Gifts.

GIVA helps registered charities receive support through a modern, trusted, Stripe-powered payment experience. Quick to set up. Built to last.

  • Onboard in 10 minutes — Stripe Connect Express handles KYC, banking, and tax compliance.
  • Receive the full gift amount — donors generously choose to cover the processing fees, so every dollar of their intent reaches you.
  • Donor data, your way — each gift includes the donor's name and email so you can issue tax receipts directly.
  • Daily payouts so you can do more now — funds settle to your bank account every business day. We never hold money you could be putting to work today.

Frequently asked

The honest answers.

Are donations on GIVA tax-deductible?
Yes, when the receiving charity is registered with the Canada Revenue Agency. Each charity issues your official tax receipt directly. GIVA forwards your name and email to the charity for that purpose, with your consent.
Why a 0.5% platform fee?
Running GIVA isn't free — servers, Stripe integrations, support, and constant improvements all cost money. 0.5% is enough to keep us alive without being meaningful for your donation. We could have hidden it in a higher Stripe fee; we chose to show it.
How do I know a charity is real?
Every charity goes through Stripe's KYC + KYB verification before they can receive a single dollar. We also verify their CRA registration. If a charity isn't fully verified, you literally cannot send them a Gift.
What about my privacy?
We don't sell your data. We don't show ads. The "Local 50 km" filter uses your location only in-memory — never stored. You can delete your account at any time directly in the app, and all your data is permanently erased.
Can I cancel a Gift?
Charitable donations are generally final. If you sent a Gift in error, email hello@thegiva.app within 14 days and we'll work with the charity on a best-effort basis.
