EverGive is a charity-tech platform designed to help charities move beyond short-term fundraising and build long-term financial resilience. Donors can give one-time or monthly, with donations managed by an independent Donor-Advised Fund (DAF). The DAF invests donations (currently in Bitcoin) and makes ongoing discretionary grants to charities, creating a sustainable stream of support.

No, EverGive (GiveTree Ltd) is a UK-registered limited company. We build products that make giving more impactful and sustainable, providing the technology and fundraising tools that connect donors and charities. Donations are received and managed by independent DAF partners, which are registered charities and hold legal responsibility for investments and grants. EverGive is also registered with the UK Fundraising Regulator.

1. You donate – set up a one-time or recurring monthly donation.

2. Funds are managed and invested by the DAF - donations are received by our DAF partner and invested (currently in Bitcoin) to grow a long-term reserve fund.

3. Grants are made to charities - the DAF makes discretionary grants to eligible charities, guided by the charity you choose when donating. If your chosen charity can’t receive a grant, support will be redirected to a similar cause.
   

4. Sustainable giving – the aim is for the invested fund to grow, enabling grants to continue well into the future.

Not exactly. When you donate directly to a charity, your contribution is typically spent right away. With EverGive, your donation goes into a pooled reserve fund managed by a DAF, invested for the long term, and used to make ongoing grants to charities - helping create more sustainable funding for them.

You can easily set up your donation via our donation page here. Follow the simple steps provided to complete the process securely.

We understand that circumstances change, and you may need to review how much you can give. Life can be unpredictable, and we're truly grateful for every contribution you've made so far.

Your generosity has already started building a legacy, one that grows, supports change, and lives on beyond this moment. At EverGive, we believe that even small, consistent gifts can have a lasting impact when invested with care.

Donations are generally irrevocable and non-refundable. However, refunds may be considered in very limited cases, such as mistaken or unauthorised transactions, fraud, or compliance issues.

• When you make a donation, if you choose to cover card processing fees (the transaction fee), 100% of your donation goes into the DAF.

• If not, the transaction fee is deducted by the payment provider.

• EverGive itself does not deduct fees from your donation. Our platform is funded separately through agreements with the DAF.

The transaction fee covers card processing and bank charges. Paying this fee is optional - if you don’t cover it, it will be deducted from your donation before it reaches the Donor Advised Fund.

When donating, you’ll see the option to add a voluntary tip. This goes directly to supporting the running and development of the EverGive platform. It’s optional, adjustable, and can be removed entirely. Please note that for recurring monthly donations, the tip is also taken monthly.

Yes. You’ll receive an email confirmation immediately after donating. If you’re a UK taxpayer and opted into Gift Aid, the DAF will also process Gift Aid in line with HMRC rules.

All donations are received by our DAF partners, which are registered charities. Donors can make a recommendation as to which charity should receive grants. By law, the DAF’s trustees must retain final discretion, but in practice your recommendation will be followed unless the charity becomes ineligible (e.g. fails due diligence or ceases operating). In such cases, grants may be redirected to a similar cause.

EverGive is committed to transparency. We’ll share regular updates with donors about how much has been granted to charities and the impact being made.

The DAF makes regular discretionary grants to eligible charities. The timing and amounts may vary, as they depend on trustee decisions, available funds, and investment performance, but the goal is to provide consistent long-term support.

EverGive never holds donations directly. Our role is to provide the platform that connects donors with causes, while ensuring the donation process is secure, transparent, and compliant.

All funds are received, invested, and granted at the sole discretion of our DAF partners. The DAF:
‍

• Receives and holds donations,

• Invests them (currently in Bitcoin), and

• Issues discretionary grants to eligible charities.

In the UK, our DAF partner is The Forever Trust (charity number 1212783).

When you donate, you can recommend a charity from our list of approved partners. If you’re unsure, you can also choose a multi-charity option, where your donation supports a pool of causes.

Trustees will seek to follow your recommendation wherever possible, but must retain final discretion by law.

Bitcoin is volatile in the short term - ups and downs are part of its nature. But historically, over the long term, it has shown strong performance and growth, which is why we see it as a reliable foundation for building lasting reserves.

To manage volatility, the DAF sets aside a small cash reserve (around 3%) to help smooth out downturns and maintain grant-making.  Trustees also review performance regularly and retain discretion over grant levels. This means we can navigate short-term drops while keeping focused on the long-term opportunity Bitcoin offers for sustainable charitable support.

EverGive itself never holds your donation. All funds are received and managed by our independent Donor Advised Fund (DAF) partners, who work with regulated custodians to keep Bitcoin safe. These custodians use multi-signature wallets, offline storage, and institutional-grade security controls to protect against hacks or misuse. This means donations are held with some of the highest levels of protection available in the industry.
