After the day
Receipts on their own
Every donor gets a receipt the moment they give. Donorly writes and sends it for you.
Thank everyone
New donors land on your list with their gift; log a thank-you call and set a follow-up for the year-end.
Your money, straight to your account
Gifts go straight to your own Stripe account, paid out on Stripe's schedule, as often as every day.

Book a walkthrough →Your GivingTuesday checklist
- This week: put your page up. Logo, one picture, a paragraph about what this year's gifts will do, and a goal.
- Two weeks out: add the link to your website, newsletter and email signature. Print a QR sign for anywhere people gather.
- The week before: tell your community it's coming. A short text or post with the link is enough.
- On December 1: share the link in the morning, at lunch and in the evening, and post the progress bar as it climbs.
- After: thank every donor that week. Receipts are already sent; a personal call or note is what brings them back.
Questions we hear
When is GivingTuesday 2026?+
Tuesday, December 1, 2026, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
Is there still time to get set up?+
Yes. A donation page takes minutes. If you want your existing donors moved in too, that takes a few days in our experience, and during the beta our team does it for you at no cost.
Do our donors pay a tip to Donorly?+
No. Nothing is pre-selected at checkout. Card gifts carry Stripe's processing fee, like any card payment, and donors can choose to cover it so you receive the full gift. See are "free" CRMs really free?.
Where does the money go?+
Straight to your organization's own Stripe account. Payouts arrive on the schedule you set with Stripe, as often as every day.
