About GivenGain

The GivenGain Group

The GivenGain Group was founded in July 2001 by two brothers inspired by the idea that "it is more blessed to give than to receive".

Today, it has become an important part of the emergence of an organized, private, non-profit sector that has quietly taken its place as a major economic, social and political force in nations around the world.

What we see

We see a global community of individuals breaking down the barriers between and within us, with personal projects that let us sponsor, follow and discuss each others' chosen causes.

We see a world without fear, a world where everyone has enough to eat, the right to choose, the opportunity to speak and be heard. More...

What we do

Since 2001, we've been providing businesses and organisations in various vertical markets with state-of-the-art web applications integrated with on-demand payment processing.

GivenGainThe GivenGain service, launched in 2001, enables nonprofit organizations to run a better operation, increase revenue, build and manage relationships, and win support for the ideas in which they believe.

We are different from other commercial service providers in that 100% of all donations made to projects listed on GivenGain are managed within a fully audited and compliant nonprofit environment, made possible through our unique relationship with the GivenGain Foundation. We believe that this is the right thing to do.

PayPropOur PayProp service, launched in 2004, is an integrated, collaborative, web-based platform that provides property managers with a complete electronic payment solution.

PayProp eliminates inefficiencies in back-office operations, lowers administrative costs per transaction, and applies leading technologies to automate entire processes.
