Pro Tip Tuesday: How To Change Your GPS Map Location

The Givelify giving app makes it easier than ever for donors to locate and donate to your church or nonprofit. If they are currently at your service or fundraising event, they don’t even need to search! Donors can relax while the app automatically locates your organization for them.

Want to get the most out of the GPS feature? Getting started is simple. To add your organization or event location to your Givelify giving app profile:

  1. Login to your church or nonprofit’s account at givelify.com
  2. Click Settings at the top right of your screen
  3. Select the About tab
  4. Click the Edit button under Physical Address
  5. Enter your address information into the spaces provided and click Update

If your mailing address differs from your physical address, you can edit that information using the same process under Mailing Address. (This address will not appear in the app.) You can also edit your organization’s phone number, e-mail address, and website in this section of the dashboard.

  3. Select Location Services
    • Check to make sure the button is on the On position
