Sponsorship Management Software Built for Nonprofits
Nonprofit sponsorship software connects your donors to the people and programs they care about, and automates everything in between: recurring payments, sponsor-beneficiary matching, profile management, updates, messaging, and receipts. Instead of tracking sponsors in spreadsheets and chasing failed payments by hand, your team manages the entire sponsorship lifecycle in one platform, and your donors get a personal, relational giving experience that keeps them engaged for years.
Outgiven is nonprofit sponsorship software that is completely free for nonprofits. Unlike donor CRMs that treat sponsorships as an afterthought, Outgiven was built sponsorship-first, by a nonprofit, for nonprofits. And it's not limited to one kind of program: organizations use Outgiven to run child sponsorships, student sponsorships, project and program sponsorships, team sponsorships, and animal and rescue sponsorships — often several of these at once, alongside general giving and giving campaigns.
Why Sponsorships?
Is your nonprofit utilizing sponsorships as a mechanism for engaging donors in generous recurring giving? If not, you might be missing a huge opportunity. Sponsorships are a powerful tool for connecting donors to your mission in a meaningful and personal way. Whether it's for a person, a group, an ongoing initiative, or a program, sponsorships relationally connect donors to your mission in a very compelling way. Sponsors give more, give longer, and advocate for your organization, because they aren't just donating to a cause; they're invested in a relationship. The right sponsorship management software makes that relationship effortless to sustain at any scale.

Why Nonprofits Choose Outgiven
Most sponsorship platforms charge monthly fees that scale with your donor base, so the more successful your program becomes, the more you pay. Outgiven is different: the platform is free for nonprofits, with unlimited sponsorship types, profiles, donors, and administrators. There are no per-record fees, no tiered plans, and no caps to grow into.
Free doesn't mean stripped down. Outgiven includes capabilities that paid platforms treat as premium add-ons: Identity Mask® profile protection for children and sensitive populations, moderated sponsor messaging with automated translation, Lightning Sponsorships for live events, and full donor management with recurring giving built in.

Nonprofit Sponsorship Software FAQ
What is nonprofit sponsorship software?
Nonprofit sponsorship software is a platform that helps organizations run sponsorship programs, where donors commit to recurring support of a specific child, student, project, team, or animal. It manages beneficiary profiles, matches sponsors, collects recurring payments, delivers updates and messages, and provides reporting, replacing the spreadsheets and manual processes most programs start with.
How is sponsorship software different from a donor CRM?
A donor CRM tracks contacts and gifts. Sponsorship software adds the relationship layer: beneficiary profiles, sponsor-beneficiary matching, moderated communication, and program-level management. Outgiven includes donor management and recurring giving, so for many organizations it replaces both tools.
Is Outgiven really free for nonprofits?
Yes. Outgiven is built and operated by a nonprofit, and the platform is free for nonprofit organizations, with unlimited sponsorships, donors, and administrators. Standard payment processing fees apply to transactions. See our pricing page for details.
What types of sponsorship programs can Outgiven manage?
Any of them, in any combination: child, student, classroom, PTA, team, project/initiative, and zoo/rescue sponsorships, with one-to-one or many-to-one sponsor models and fully configurable pricing.
How does Outgiven protect children in sponsorship programs?
Child safety is a guiding principle. Optional Identity Mask® profile masking can protect children and sensitive populations until a sponsorship is completed, and all sponsor-beneficiary messaging is moderated. Learn more about our approach to child privacy and safeguarding.
