Difference Between GiveWise and GiveGenius

Though they work together, GiveWise and GiveGenius serve different purposes for donors and charities.

GiveWise and GiveGenius are part of the same mission: making charitable giving easier, more impactful, and more accessible—for both donors and charities. But they serve slightly different purposes:

GiveWise – For Donors

GiveWise is the public-facing giving platform where donors can give to your charity, open a DAF (Giving Fund), and access more ways to give.

Donors use GiveWise to:

• Give online securely

• Donate complex assets (securities, crypto, etc.)

• Set up recurring gifts or a Giving Fund (DAF)

• Receive one consolidated tax receipt

💡 Think of GiveWise as the donor-facing giving platform where the donation experience happens.

GiveGenius – For Charities

GiveGenius is your charity-side toolkit for managing GiveWise integrations, enhancing the donor experience, and accessing detailed reports.

Charities use GiveGenius to:

• Create and update their Give Page

• Monitor gifts and donor data

• Enable donations of complex assets

• Simplify backend donation processing

• Increase DAF and planned giving

💡 Think of GiveGenius as the charity-side dashboard and integration toolkit that powers a better donor experience via GiveWise.

How GiveWise and GiveGenius Fit Together

GiveWise is the umbrella brand—a digital giving platform built to make charitable giving easier, more flexible, and more impactful for both donors and charities.

Under that umbrella, GiveGenius is a specialized tool built specifically for charities. It empowers organizations like yours to integrate GiveWise into your existing systems, expand your donation options, and manage more complex gifts behind the scenes.

Think of it this way:

• GiveWise is the public-facing giving experience for donors.

• GiveGenius is the charity-facing product that helps you manage, customize, and benefit from that experience.

Together, they work seamlessly to connect donor generosity with charitable impact.
