# How to Get Started with GiveGenius

### How do I sign up for GiveGenius?

To get started with GiveGenius, please contact us at **<charitysupport@givewise.ca>** or [book a meeting](https://meetings.hubspot.com/jessica-rayne/quick-15-min-chat?uuid=eabfbb39-4a94-43e2-8a88-70ef8565d8bd) with our team to get started.

### I am already a GiveWise Charity Partner using the Charity Portal. How do I start using GiveGenius?

As an existing GiveWise Charity Partner, you will see the GiveGenius tab in your Charity Portal. However, access to this tab does not mean your organization is fully onboarded or approved to use the GiveGenius donation tool.

To begin using GiveGenius, all charities, including existing partners, must complete the updated onboarding requirements. These include:

1. Completing the one-time onboarding fee
2. Completing the [GiveGenius Quick Start Checklist](https://guide.givewise.ca/for-charities/resources-givegenius/givegenius-quick-start-checklist)
3. Installing your GiveGenius URL or GiveButton
4. Submitting the [required Verification Form](https://share.hsforms.com/1Miv1wTRzS2eKUw9B_PyFNwduyqn)

Once all steps are complete and verified by our team, your GiveGenius tool will be activated and ready for donor use.

If you would like support with the onboarding steps please book a [quick-chat with our team](https://meetings.hubspot.com/jessica-rayne/quick-15-min-chat?uuid=eabfbb39-4a94-43e2-8a88-70ef8565d8bd), or contact us anytime at <charitysupport@givewise.ca>.

#### I am NOT a registered charity but do charitable work. Can you help me?

Yes! GiveWise supports anyone working to spread generosity and make an impact.

Our **GenerosityWorks** programs help groups and initiatives without charitable status by:

* Facilitating public fundraising
* Providing CRA-compliant donor tax receipting
* Giving you tools to engage and grow your community of supporters

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.givewise.ca/for-charities/givegenius-introduction/how-to-get-started-with-givegenius.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
