Frequently Asked Questions

Givefinity is a Community Service Intelligence Platform. Our volunteer engagement and community impact platform helps you build a meaningful record of how you give back.

Givefinity is built for individual volunteers and organizations that engage people in service. Organizations can include nonprofits, K–12 schools, universities, fraternities and sororities, businesses, and other community-focused groups.
