GiveRadar vs Every.org: an honest comparison
Every.org and GiveRadar are not competitors at all: Every.org is a nonprofit donation platform that moves money to US 501(c)(3) charities with zero platform fees, while GiveRadar is a free international research database that shows what official records disclose about 7.9 million+ nonprofits. One processes gifts, the other informs them.

This page is written and maintained by GiveRadar. We make no claim to neutrality: we built GiveRadar and we believe in it, and we have tried to represent Every.org fairly. Every.org is a nonprofit that charges no platform fees and is funded philanthropically, which is genuinely admirable, and we recommend it without reservation for giving to US 501(c)(3) charities. The two answer different questions and combine well. If you spot an inaccuracy, email info@giveradar.com and we will correct it.

Check how a charity discloses
"What do official records show about this charity, and how transparent is it?"
This needs official records at scale: registration, financials, officers, and a disclosure score. GiveRadar answers it for 7.9 million+ nonprofits across 100+ countries, and Every.org does not rate or score charities.

Give to a US nonprofit
"How do I send my gift to this US charity with as little lost to fees as possible?"
This needs donation rails: a platform that processes the payment and passes it on. Every.org does exactly this for US 501(c)(3) nonprofits with zero platform fees, and GiveRadar processes no donations at all.
Answered by Every.orgWho each one is
GiveRadar
GiveRadar is a free charity intelligence platform covering 7.9 million+ nonprofits across 100+ countries, built from 50+ official government registries and tax authorities, plus vetted directories where no registry data exists.
Each charity gets a 0-100 integrity assessment that measures disclosure: registration, financial transparency, governance, contact availability, and data recency. It does not measure impact, and it cannot be bought.
Profiles include financials, officer records with compensation where disclosed, red flags, GiveRadar Analysis peer context, and watchlists with change alerts. Developers get a REST API and MCP server with free tiers. GiveRadar does not process donations.
Every.org
Every.org is a US 501(c)(3) public charity that runs a zero-fee online donation platform (EIN 61-1913297), launched in May 2019 by Stanford classmates Mark Ulrich, Tina Roh, and Rahul Gupta-Iwasaki; Mark Ulrich is a co-founder and Allison Fine serves as President.
It is funded philanthropically, including by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Garrett Camp's Camp Foundation, plus optional donor tips, and it charges nonprofits no platform, setup, or subscription fees: only third-party processor fees apply, some of which Every.org covers itself.
Donors can give by card, bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo, stock, cryptocurrency, mobile wallet, and donor-advised fund. As of December 2025 it had accepted over $140,000,000 for more than 7,000 nonprofits. It also offers a free public Charity API, and it verifies IRS 501(c)(3) status but does not rate, score, or red-flag charities.
Every.org sends the gift, GiveRadar researches the charity
Every.org and GiveRadar solve different problems, so there is no winner to declare. Every.org is one of the most donor-friendly ways to give to a US charity: zero platform fees, a nonprofit running it, and unusually broad payment support including stock, crypto, and DAF gifts, with Every.org covering the processing fees on several of those.
GiveRadar answers the question Every.org deliberately does not: what do official records disclose about this organization, scored 0-100 across 100+ countries. If you already know where you are giving and it is a US 501(c)(3), Every.org is an excellent way to send the money. If you are still deciding, or the charity is outside the United States, start with GiveRadar.
How do GiveRadar and Every.org fit together?
They sit on either side of a single decision: research the charity, then send the gift. Each does one job well and hands off cleanly to the other.
GiveRadar: research the charity
- A 0-100 integrity assessment from official records, on every charity it covers.
- Financials, officers, red flags, and peer context across 100+ countries.

Every.org: send the gift
- Zero platform fees on donations to US 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
- Card, bank, PayPal, Venmo, stock, crypto, and DAF gifts, with fees covered on several.
- Run by a nonprofit; it verifies 501(c)(3) status but does not score charities.
Figures as of December 2025 and July 2026 where stated. GiveRadar's role is the research layer; Every.org's is the giving layer, and neither loses anything in the handoff.

When should you use Every.org vs GiveRadar?
Research on one, transaction on the other, and for a US charity the honest answer is often both.
Use GiveRadar when
- You are still deciding whether to give: check the charity first for registration, financials, officers, red flags, and peer context.
- The charity is outside the United States: GiveRadar covers 100+ countries from official registries.
- You want a comparable score: the 0-100 integrity assessment measures disclosure across the whole database.
- You need registry-grade data programmatically, or watchlists and change alerts to track records over time.
Use Every.org when
- You know which US 501(c)(3) you want to support and want the most of your gift to arrive: no platform fee, and fees covered on bank, stock, and DAF gifts.
- You want to give in a form most platforms do not handle: stock, crypto, DAF grants, PayPal, or Venmo.
- You run a US nonprofit and want free donation infrastructure with no tiered pricing or exclusive contract.
- You are building a giving app: the Every.org Charity API handles the donation rails, free for non-commercial use.
Use both when
You are giving to a US charity and want to give well. This is the pairing these two tools were practically made for: check the charity on GiveRadar first (integrity assessment, filings, red flags), then donate through Every.org so no platform fee touches your gift. Research on one, transaction on the other, and neither tool loses anything in the handoff. Building a donation product? Use GiveRadar's API for the vetting layer and Every.org's API for the search-and-donate rails.
GiveRadar and Every.org: common questions
Is GiveRadar an Every.org alternative?
Not really, and it is worth being precise about why. Every.org is a donation platform: it moves money to US 501(c)(3) nonprofits with zero platform fees. GiveRadar is a research database: it shows what official records disclose about 7.9 million+ nonprofits in 100+ countries, and it does not process donations. GiveRadar is an alternative only for the research step, the part Every.org does not do. For the giving step, Every.org has no equivalent on GiveRadar.
Is Every.org or GiveRadar better?
Neither, because they answer different questions. Every.org answers "how do I get my gift to this US charity with as little lost to fees as possible": zero platform fees and support for card, bank, PayPal, Venmo, stock, crypto, and DAF gifts. GiveRadar answers "what do official records show about this charity": a 0-100 integrity assessment, financials, and red flags across 100+ countries. The honest steer: research on GiveRadar, then give through Every.org if the charity is a US 501(c)(3).
Does Every.org rate or score charities?
No. Every.org verifies that a nonprofit holds IRS 501(c)(3) tax-deductible status, but as of July 2026 it publishes no ratings, scores, or red flags. That is a deliberate scope choice, not a shortcoming of its platform. If you want an assessment before you give, GiveRadar assigns every covered charity a 0-100 integrity assessment based on what it discloses: registration, financial transparency, governance, contact availability, and data recency.
Does Every.org cover charities outside the United States?
Only indirectly. The Every.org directory lists US 501(c)(3) nonprofits, but an international charity can participate if it has its own US 501(c)(3) entity or a US 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor, and donations are processed in US dollars (as of July 2026). For direct coverage of non-US charities, GiveRadar profiles nonprofits in 100+ countries from official government registries, plus vetted directories where no registry data exists.
