When someone you love is in crisis — a medical emergency, a house fire, a family uprooted — the question isn't just "how do I raise money?" It's "who will actually care?" GiveSendGo was built for that gap. It's a free Christian crowdfunding platform where campaign creators don't just receive financial support — they receive prayer.^1
Founded in 2014 by siblings Heather Wilson, Jacob Wells, and Emily Wells, GiveSendGo was born from a simple observation: crowdfunding was booming, but no platform was connecting generosity with the Gospel. Inspired by the early church in Acts — where believers "would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one's need" — they built a platform where material help and spiritual hope go hand in hand.^2
What sets GiveSendGo apart is its Hope Team: real people who personally call every campaign creator to pray with them over the phone. The platform also features a "Pray" button alongside the "Give" button — the only major crowdfunding site to offer this.^1 Their Giver Army program pools monthly donations to support campaigns that are stagnant or belong to people without a personal network to share with — what co-founder Heather Wilson calls "the crowd for the crowdless."^2
Why Christians Love It"This has brought real relief to our fundraiser and our whole community walking with our friend through this season. I've tried platforms like GoFundMe in the past, but discovering a Christ-centered alternative has been a breath of fresh air."^3
"While going through a difficult time, the last thing you want to deal with is more difficulty. The representatives at GiveSendGo were there to answer questions and support our family through the process."^3
"Because of God's hand in making sure we were taken care of, the community came together and met the goal plus some. We couldn't have done this without GiveSendGo."^1
