Our mission
We built MyGiveKit because school and nonprofit auctions should not feel harder than the event itself.
MyGiveKit exists for the PTOs, churches, and community organizations raising money for real needs: classroom supplies, scholarships, repairs, and programs. We charge a flat fee because we believe taking a percentage of every bid is the wrong model for nonprofit fundraising.
How it started
It started with a spreadsheet. A school auction, 200 items, and a volunteer treasurer manually tracking bids on a printed sheet — then re-entering everything into Excel at 11pm to generate invoices. We've all been that volunteer.
The existing tools were either expensive platforms designed for large charities with dedicated development staff, or free tools so limited they created more work than they saved. The gap — simple, affordable, purpose-built for small orgs — was obvious.
MyGiveKit is what we built to fill it. The goal is not to be the most feature-rich fundraising platform on the internet. The goal is to make your next auction easier to set up, easier to run, and much easier to close.
"The right tool should save the volunteer running the event, not bill them more when the fundraiser goes well."
What that means in practice
These are not abstract values. They show up directly in the way the product is priced, scoped, and designed.
Flat pricing, always
We charge a flat fee, never a percentage of bids. Your donors' money should go to your cause, not scale our revenue.
Simple enough for volunteers
Your event chair is a volunteer, not a software buyer. What we build has to work without a training call or a 40-page setup guide.
No lock-in
You can export your data and use your own payment process. We would rather earn renewal by being useful than by trapping you.
Built for small orgs
We scope features to what a small committee actually needs. We are not interested in adding complexity just to look more enterprise.
Honest about what the product does
MyGiveKit tracks bids, winners, and follow-up. You can collect payment your way, and we are explicit about that upfront so there are no surprises.
Focused roadmap
We add features when they make auction day, event prep, or fundraiser follow-up meaningfully easier. The goal is clarity, not bloat.
