HOW IT WORKS

How Everyone gives works

What is Everyone Gives?

Everyone Gives is a global social giving campaign, which means a chance to use social media to connect people and see the viral effects of giving. It also helps you to connect your friends to your favorite charities. At Everyonegives.org, you make a small pledge to your favorite charity and then invite your friends to join you in giving to either your favorite charity, or a charity of their choice. As your friends join, you can see your one small gift, as small as five dollars, grow and multiply to quickly become $25, $100 or even thousands of dollars.
The website does not directly take donations though, so once you’ve selected your charity and made your pledge, click on “Donate” to go directly to your selected charity’s website, knowing that 100% of your donation will go directly to your chosen charity.

What is a "Giving Tree"?

To participate in Everyone Gives, you need to either start a new tree or join an existing “Giving Tree”. A “Giving Tree” is started when someone makes an initial donation to their favorite charity. You can join a friend’s tree, start your own tree, or both! When you invite people to join you in matching your donation, they join your “Giving Tree”. You can watch your tree grow as people join it, seeing the power of your networks in action!

How do you get Started?

Starting your own “Giving Tree”

  1. Click “Start your Tree”
  2. Name your tree and give it a brief description. If you want your friends to only donate to your selected charity, and not pick their own, then unclick the option that allows friends to donate to the charity of their choice
  3. Pick your favorite charity
  4. If you haven’t yet signed in or signed up to the site, the site will ask you to sign in, which you can do through Facebook or by entering some basic information
  5. Select the amount you’d like to pledge and click “Pledge”
  6. Invite your friends to join in too via email and through your social network
  7. Click “Donate”. This will take you directly to your selected charity’s website where you can complete your donation, confident 100% goes directly to them.

Joining a friend's "Giving Tree"

If you’ve come to the site through an email or link from a friend, it’s quick and easy to join their tree too.

  1. Sign up, (using Facebook, or entering your details),
  2. Click “Pick another charity” to select your favorite charity (or skip this step of you’d like to donate to your friend’s preferred charity)
  3. Select the amount you’d like to pledge and click “Pledge”
  4. Invite your friends to join in too via email and through your social network
  5. Click “Donate”. This will take you directly to your selected charity’s website where you can complete your donation, confident 100% goes directly to them.
Everyone Gives uses web, social and mobile tools to feature participating charities. These vetted organizations support diverse causes including education, health, social services, environment, disaster relief and development.
