Welcome to EverGive. By making a donation through the EverGive platform, you agree to these Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”). These T&Cs govern your relationship with EverGive and your participation as a donor (“Donor”). Please read them carefully before proceeding.
2.1 EverGive operates as a limited company registered in the United Kingdom (GiveTree Ltd, Company Number 13405448).
2.2 EverGive facilitates charitable donations into an endowment fund, managed by a professional Donor-Advised Fund (“DAF”). The goal of the Endowment is to provide long-term financial support to selected charities through sustainable investment returns.
2.3 At present, all investments made by the Endowment are exclusively in Bitcoin. This approach aligns with the Endowment’s strategy to maximise returns through a focused investment in a high-growth asset class.
3.1 All donations made to the EverGive Endowment are recurring, irrevocable, and non-refundable. Once processed, funds are transferred to the DAF for safekeeping and management via the payment service provider Stripe. If you believe a transaction was made in error, please contact EverGive at contact@evergive.com within 14 days for review.
3.2 Donations are processed securely through Stripe, a third-party payment service provider. By making a donation, you agree to Stripe’s terms of service where applicable. EverGive does not retain or control your payment details; these are managed by Stripe.
3.3 Donors may cancel their recurring donations at any time by accessing their account settings on the EverGive platform or by contacting EverGive support at contact@evergive.com. Cancellations will take effect before the next scheduled donation, provided the request is made at least 2 business days in advance.
3.4 All donations are pooled into a ring-fenced endowment fund held by the DAF and invested in accordance with the Investment Management Agreement.
3.5 Gift Aid: If you are eligible and consent to Gift Aid, the DAF will claim Gift Aid on your donation and allocate the resulting funds to the Endowment.
3.6 Donations do not provide you with ownership rights, decision-making authority, or claim to the returns generated by the Endowment.
4.1 Your donation, along with other contributions, will be invested exclusively into Bitcoin.
4.2 Advanced Yields Disbursed Weekly: EverGive provides advanced yield payments to selected charities on a weekly basis, reflecting anticipated returns from the Endowment’s investments. These yields are funded by EverGive as a service to ensure immediate support for charitable activities.
The amount disbursed as advanced yields is based on estimated Net Returns and donor recommendations. Actual investment performance may differ, and EverGive assumes the risk of any shortfall between advanced yields paid and actual Net Returns.
4.3 Returns generated by the portfolio (“Net Returns”) are allocated as follows:
Net Returns are distributed to selected charities as advanced yields based on donor recommendations and subject to the DAF’s discretion, in accordance with donor preferences and applicable terms.
4.3 Donor Recommendations: Donors may select a charity of their choice or opt for “Most Needed,” which supports multiple charities. In future versions of EverGive, donors will also have the option to select specific causes for their returns to benefit. While donor recommendations are honoured wherever possible, the final allocation of grants remains at the discretion of the DAF, subject to applicable terms and conditions (e.g. the selected charity must remain active and in good standing).
5.1 Charities benefiting from the Endowment (“Beneficiary Charities”) are selected based on rigorous criteria, including their ethical practices, transparency, and alignment with EverGive’s values.
5.2 Final decisions about grant allocations to Beneficiary Charities are made by the DAF, ensuring alignment with applicable laws and donor recommendations where possible.
6.1 Donors will receive periodic updates via EverGive’s platform, summarising the performance of the Endowment and the impact of their contributions.
6.2 The DAF will provide detailed records of the donations, investments, and distributions to EverGive, which may be shared with Donors upon request.
7.1 EverGive’s compensation, amounting to 20% of the Net Returns, is allocated by the DAF as a share of the capital gains. This compensation is provided to cover the risk undertaken by EverGive in paying advanced yields to charities.
7.2 In addition, EverGive charges a commission of 20% on advanced yields disbursed to Beneficiary Charities. This commission supports EverGive’s operational costs and the facilitation of immediate impact through advanced yield payments.
7.3 The remaining Net Returns are used to fund yields to Beneficiary Charities and reinvested by the DAF to grow the Endowment’s capital.
