Givesource is an open source platform that empowers community foundations to run a Giving Day with more uptime and fewer fees ... . Givesource was created by Firespring, a marketing and software company, in partnership with Lincoln Community Foundation and the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management with the goal of giving back by putting more money and control in the hands of nonprofits and the local foundations that support them. Givesource is being given to the community to disrupt the status quo of Giving Days. Your foundation will have unlimited capacity to help nonprofits fundraise—without managing expensive servers. Ready for the why? Nonprofits make the world go ‘round by helping others, and it is time someone helped them. We understand the unique struggles foundations face when hosting a Giving Day event. Sure, you can find platforms that are easy for donors and organizations to use, scale to donor traffic and accept donations online and offline—but at what cost? We built a tool that does all those things, while keeping the money in your community. Are you a foundation ready to have an impactful Giving Day? Then Givesource is the tool for you. It provides exactly what you need at the lowest possible cost. read more
