Product

iGivefirst promotes charitable donations online by providing a universal "Give" button, similar to the Facebook "Like" or the "Tweet" buttons. The Give button appears right next to inspiring content, and, when the button is clicked, readers can quickly donate to related charities. Read about a disaster in Africa, then click Give and donate to the Red Cross. iGivefirst brings the action of giving to the moment of inspiration with one click of a button.

The more publisher websites that we can get involved with iGivefirst, the broader the connections with users and donors will be and the more money we will help raise for worthwhile causes.
