Comparison
GiveRadar vs Every.org: an honest comparison
Two free tools, different jobs. Every.org runs a genuinely zero-fee US donation platform that has moved over 100 million USD to 6,500+ nonprofits. GiveRadar is a free global research database covering 7 million+ charities across 65+ countries. They are complementary, and we will be honest about where Every.org does its job better than we ever could.
GiveRadar in one paragraph
A free global charity research database launched in 2026. Aggregates 7 million+ charities from 50+ official government registries across 65+ countries. Computes an Integrity Assessment from 0 to 100 for every charity, surfaces automated red flags, sanctions matches, and per-charity news context. We do not collect donations. Free public web interface, free REST API tier, Pro at 99 USD per month.
Every.org in one paragraph
A US 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 61-1913297) founded by Garrett Camp (co-founder of Uber and StumbleUpon) and publicly launched in 2020. Operates a zero-fee online donation platform covering any active US 501(c)(3); donors give via cash, credit card, stock, crypto, mobile wallet, or DAF, and Every.org takes no platform cut beyond pass-through processor fees. Cumulative giving over 100 million USD to 6,500+ nonprofits. Funded by philanthropic supporters and optional donor tips.
The 30-second verdict
If you are donating to a US 501(c)(3) and want zero platform fees with multi-asset support (stock, crypto, DAF), Every.org is genuinely best-in-class and we cannot match its donation-platform features. If you are researching a charity (US or international) before donating, GiveRadar is the better tool. The right pattern: use GiveRadar to verify the charity, then use Every.org to actually send the money (if it is a US 501(c)(3)) or use the charity's own donate page if it is international.
Who they are
A bit of context on each platform before the side-by-side detail.
Every.org
Every.org was founded by Garrett Camp, the entrepreneur best known as a co-founder of Uber and StumbleUpon. The project was introduced publicly in a March 2020 Medium post, with the underlying nonprofit (Every.org Foundation, EIN 61-1913297) registered as a US 501(c)(3) public charity earlier. The mission is to build infrastructure that lets people donate to any US 501(c)(3) without intermediary fees diluting the gift.
The platform's defining feature is its zero-fee model. Every.org charges no platform fee, no cut of the donation, no monthly fee, and no setup fee. The only costs are pass-through third-party processor fees from Stripe (credit cards) or Coinbase (crypto). This is genuinely unusual: most donation platforms retain 3 to 15 percent. Every.org is funded instead by philanthropic supporters and optional voluntary tips that donors can add to their gifts.
Every.org accepts donations in cash, stock, cryptocurrency, mobile wallet payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and donor-advised fund distributions. The directory covers any active US 501(c)(3) sourced from the IRS Exempt Organizations Master File. Cumulative giving has exceeded 100 million USD across 6,500+ nonprofits, and 6,000+ nonprofits actively use the platform's fundraising tools.
GiveRadar
GiveRadar launched in 2026 as a free global charity research database. We do not process donations or vet charities for selection: we aggregate every charity that appears in an official government registry across 65+ countries, normalize the data into a unified schema, and expose it through a free public web interface and REST API.
Every charity in the database receives an Integrity Assessment from 0 to 100, calculated automatically across registration status, financial transparency, organizational transparency, third-party validation, and community signals. We surface automated red flags (high executive pay, low program spending, missing filings, sanctions matches) and per-charity news context through GDELT integration.
GiveRadar is explicitly not a donation processor. Charity profile pages link out to the charity's own donate page or to known intermediaries; the donation transaction itself happens off-platform. The free public web interface requires no signup; the REST API has a free tier of 100 requests per day, with paid tiers for higher volume. Methodology and OpenAPI specification are published under CC-BY 4.0.
Side-by-side comparison
These tools serve different functions; the table compares them across dimensions where each is meaningful. Last reviewed June 2026.
| Dimension | GiveRadar | Every.org |
|---|---|---|
| Primary function | Free global charity research database | Zero-fee US donation platform |
| Geographic coverage | 65+ countries; truly global | United States only (any active US 501(c)(3)) |
| Records | 7 million+ charities (all from registries) | Any US 501(c)(3) (~1.9M sourced from IRS BMF); 6,500+ have received donations |
| Platform fees on donations | N/A (we do not process donations) | Zero. No platform fee, no setup fee, no subscription. Only pass-through processor fees (Stripe, Coinbase). |
| Cumulative funds disbursed | N/A | Over 100 million USD |
| Donation methods | N/A; profile pages link to charity's own donate page or intermediaries | Cash, credit card, stock, cryptocurrency, mobile wallet (Apple Pay / Google Pay), DAF |
| Per-charity scoring | Integrity Assessment 0-100 (5 components, automated) | None; verifies IRS 501(c)(3) status only |
| Red flags / news context | Yes (auto red flags + GDELT news + Open Sanctions screening) | No; donation-platform focus |
| Public API | REST + OpenAPI spec; free 100 req/day; Pro 10,000 req/day at 99 USD/month | Partner integrations and donate-button widgets; primarily for fundraising integrations rather than research API |
| Tax deductibility | N/A (we do not accept donations) | Yes; US donations through Every.org Foundation are tax-deductible to US donors |
| Founded / launched | 2026 | ~2018; public launch March 2020 |
| Founder | Matt Timmermans | Garrett Camp (co-founder of Uber and StumbleUpon) |
| Legal status | Private platform (Timmermans Media OÜ, Estonia) | US 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 61-1913297) |
When to use which
Different tools for different jobs. The honest answer for most donors is "both, in this order".
Use Every.org when
- • You want to donate to a US 501(c)(3) without losing 5-15 percent to platform fees
- • You are donating stock, cryptocurrency, or routing through a donor-advised fund
- • You are a nonprofit looking for free fundraising infrastructure (donate buttons, peer-to-peer campaigns)
- • You want a unified donor account that tracks all your giving in one place
- • You want US tax receipts handled automatically by a 501(c)(3) intermediary
- • You appreciate Every.org's mission and want to support a transparently zero-fee model
Use GiveRadar when
- • You want to research a charity (US or international) before donating
- • The charity is registered outside the United States and is therefore not on Every.org
- • You want an automated Integrity Assessment, red flags, and sanctions screening
- • You need a programmatic API for nonprofit research at scale
- • You are a journalist, academic, or grantmaker doing comparative analysis across countries
- • You want news context and registry-sourced filings, not just IRS 501(c)(3) confirmation
The recommended workflow
For most US donations: research the charity on GiveRadar (registry filings, Integrity Assessment, red flags), then donate through Every.org for zero platform fees. For international donations: research on GiveRadar, then donate through the charity's own page or through an intermediary like GlobalGiving's crowdfunding platform that supports cross-border giving. The two tools fit together cleanly because they do different things.
What we have in common
Despite different functions, both platforms share core values about how giving infrastructure should work.
Free for end users
Donors and researchers pay nothing to use the core product on either platform.
No charity fees on the core product
Every.org charges nonprofits nothing to receive donations; GiveRadar charges nothing to be listed or appear in search results.
Tech-for-good orientation
Both platforms approach giving infrastructure as software products built to be transparent, modern, and donor-friendly.
Founder-led missions
Both platforms were started by founders with strong personal commitments to the public good rather than as commercial spinoffs of larger entities.
Honest about the limits
Where each platform is not the right tool. We try to call out our own weaknesses as plainly as we call out anyone else's.
Where Every.org is not a fit
- • Researching a charity registered outside the United States; non-US 501(c)(3)s are not on the platform
- • Looking up an organization's full registry filings, financial detail, or governance signals beyond IRS 501(c)(3) status
- • Verifying operational integrity beyond tax-exempt status; Every.org does not vet beyond IRS recognition
- • Programmatic queries on the global nonprofit universe; the API is fundraising-oriented rather than research-oriented
- • Sanctions screening, news monitoring, or red flag detection per charity
- • Cross-country comparisons or benchmarking against international peers
Where GiveRadar is not a fit
- • Actually donating money: we do not process payments and have no checkout flow
- • Stock or cryptocurrency donation routing; Every.org's multi-asset support is genuinely best-in-class
- • Generating US tax receipts on individual donations
- • Running a nonprofit's fundraising operations (donate buttons, peer-to-peer campaigns, donor management)
- • Centralized donor account that tracks all your giving in one place
- • The honest caveat: if you are giving exclusively to well-known US charities and you trust IRS recognition as sufficient verification, you may not need GiveRadar at all and Every.org is enough by itself
Research before you donate
Search any of 7 million+ charities across 65+ countries. Then donate with confidence, on whichever platform makes sense for the recipient.

This page is written and maintained by GiveRadar. We make no claim to neutrality: we built GiveRadar and we believe in it. We have tried to represent Every.org fairly. Every.org's zero-fee donation model is a genuine public-good contribution to the giving infrastructure, and we recommend it without reservation for US 501(c)(3) donations.
