In 2014, three siblings had an idea. What would it look like if we took the newly popular concept of crowdfunding and stretched it beyond simply funding people's material needs to providing hope for people’s spiritual needs?
Out of those discussions, GiveSendGo was born. After over a year of development and setbacks, we launched GiveSendGo with a beta version in early 2015.
We had meetings daily to talk about and pray for GiveSendGo and the direction we were headed. Once we felt the site was ready to be put out into the world, we had a public launch party in October 2015. We saw steady growth as we worked tirelessly behind the scenes with fixes and changes, making the website work more efficiently while learning the lessons needed to grow a crowdfunding platform.
We ran the race in obedience year after year, patiently waiting for the day GiveSendGo would take off. Little did we know God was just preparing us for the plans he had for us.
At the end of the summer of 2020, during the middle of a pandemic, we watched as GiveSendGo was thrust into the political spotlight for allowing a campaign that mainstream media had shut down and was censoring. Unbeknownst to us, we had stepped onto a battlefield and had to take a stand. After much prayer, discussion, and counsel, a decision was made. GiveSendGo was created for such a time as this. Not to take one side or another politically, but in the middle of a divided political culture, we were to be focused on the very reason we started GiveSendGo: to share the Hope of Jesus through crowdfunding with everyone who comes to our platform.
That continues to be our focus as we stand for freedom.
