What does Givora do, exactly?+
Givora is a managed fundraising service for community charities. We run an always-on storytelling engine — short impact videos every week, built from one monthly shoot — plus one campaign each quarter: a hero-prize raffle, a community auction, or a seasonal appeal. Planned, produced, promoted and reported, for you.
Do you take a cut of what we raise?+
No. Givora charges a fixed monthly fee, agreed up front — never a percentage of donations or ticket sales. Your ad budget stays in your name and under your control; we manage it for you.
What is an audience, and why do you cap it at four?+
An audience is the group of people likely to give to your cause, across the area you actually serve — so a suburb food relief charity and a state-wide women's health foundation are different audiences, even in the same city. We work with a maximum of four charities per audience, and we rotate their major campaigns one per quarter. Beyond four, campaigns start competing for the same donors and the same prize sponsors, and everyone raises less. The fifth charity in a full audience is declined.
We're state-wide, not local. Does this still work?+
Yes. The cap is based on who gives to you, not on council boundaries. A state-wide or national charity sits in a state-wide or national audience, priced accordingly — a wider audience means a larger campaign, a larger prize pool and a larger ad budget. The four-charity cap and the quarterly rotation work the same way at every scale.
Who handles the licensing and compliance?+
We do. Category 3 licence lodged at kickoff, plus disclosures, draw integrity and record-keeping built into the systems we set up. Your charity stays the registered fundraising operator and beneficiary — we carry the paperwork. Givora provides technology, content and marketing as a service; the fundraising stays yours.
What does it cost?+
A flat monthly retainer — no commissions, no surprises. Founding charities — our first four partners — pay $4,500/month, locked for the first 12 months, in exchange for honest feedback and a publishable case study. After the founding cohort, the standard rate is scoped to your charity and the size of your audience at a 20-minute fit call.
How much work is it for our team?+
A few hours a month. You give us one filming day with our crew and approve the content and campaign plans. We handle the production, posting, ads, landing pages, partner coordination and reporting.
We already run a great event each year — do we still need this?+
Keep the event. Most of our charities do, and a well-run gala or raffle night can raise real money in one night. The problem isn't the event — it's that all the effort behind it resets every year: the same cold start, the same volunteer burnout, the same scramble to sell tickets from scratch. Givora doesn't replace your event; it wraps always-on storytelling around it, so the audience you build in the lead-up to this year's night is still warm — and bigger — for next year's.
What happens after I check availability?+
We confirm within one business day how many slots are left in your audience. If there's room, we hold a slot for you for 14 days — free, no obligation — send you the Harvest Method field guide for your board, and book a 20-minute fit call to map a 90-day pilot.
