Givey operates a donation-matching platform that instantly and automatically matches employees' charitable giving with donations from their employers. Its model levies charges to the employer or corporate supporter rather than the individual donor or the charity, making the service free for charities and individuals. The company works with over 8,000 UK charities and counts London Midland among its customers. Founder Dave Erasmus created Givey in 2011 and the company went through the Ignite100 accelerator. The funds raised are intended to scale the business and expand into consumer donation matching in both the UK and the U.S. Givey positions itself as an alternative to incumbents like JustGiving, which the article says takes roughly 7% of donations and charges charities a monthly fee.
