Building a Better Way to Give
Connecting verified South African NGOs and NPOs with donors who want to make a real, trackable difference in their communities
Why We Built Givio
South Africa has over 200,000 registered NGOs and NPOs doing incredible work in communities across the country. From feeding schemes in townships to wildlife conservation in rural areas, from medical aid for families in crisis to educational programs transforming young lives—these organizations are the heartbeat of our nation's compassion.
Yet, most of them struggle with a critical challenge: connecting with donors who want to help.
Traditional fundraising platforms charge high fees (often 10-15%), have complex verification processes, and make it difficult for donors to discover causes in their own communities. Donors want to give locally, they want transparency, and they want to see exactly where their money goes.
Givio was created to solve this problem. We built a platform specifically for South African NGOs and NPOs that makes fundraising simple, transparent, and accessible—while keeping fees low so more money reaches the people who need it most.
What Makes Givio Different
Built for NGOs & NPOs
Only verified, registered South African NGOs and NPOs can create campaigns. We verify NPO registration numbers, bank details, and organization documents to ensure every campaign is legitimate.
Location-Based Discovery
Our interactive map lets you discover campaigns near you. Search by location, browse campaigns in your neighborhood, and support causes in your own community. Give locally, impact immediately.
Complete Transparency
Every donation, every fee, every payout is tracked and visible. Donors see exactly where their money goes, and organizations can manage their finances with full accountability. No hidden costs.
Low Fees, High Impact
Just 5% platform fee compared to 10-15% on other platforms. Payment processing fees are separate and clearly displayed. More of your donation reaches the cause you care about.
Real-Time Updates
Watch campaigns progress in real-time with live donation feeds, milestone celebrations, and instant updates. Organizations can share stories, photos, and impact reports as campaigns unfold.
Direct Payouts
Funds go directly to verified organization bank accounts. No waiting months for payouts—organizations can request withdrawals when campaigns reach their goals or milestones.
Our Mission
To empower every South African NGO and NPO to fundraise effectively, transparently, and sustainably.
We believe that the incredible work done by South Africa's non-profit sector should be accessible to everyone who wants to help. Whether you're passionate about education, healthcare, wildlife conservation, community development, or disaster relief—Givio makes it easy to discover campaigns near you and contribute to causes that matter.
For NGOs and NPOs, we provide the tools to tell your story, reach new donors, track your impact, and manage your finances—all in one platform designed specifically for South African organizations.
Together, we're building a culture of giving that's transparent, local, and impactful.
