FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a charity gift list or digital giving tree?

A charity gift list is a shareable list of the specific items a nonprofit, school, shelter, or community drive actually needs, so supporters know exactly what to give instead of guessing. It works like a digital giving tree: instead of paper tags pinned to a board, every need lives on one online list that anyone can open from a link. GiftList lets your organization add items from any online retailer in the world, so a food pantry, an animal rescue, a classroom, or a holiday toy drive can all build one focused list of real, needed items.

Because the list isn't tied to a single store, you can mix everyday supplies, big-ticket equipment, gift cards, and even cash needs onto the same page. Supporters claim what they want to cover, and claimed items are marked for the other supporters, so the group can see what is still outstanding instead of doubling up on one need. It turns a vague ask for help into a clear, organized list that people can act on in seconds.

Why use GiftList to run your nonprofit wish list?

GiftList is 100% free with no premium tiers, no item limits, and no credit card required, which matters when every dollar should go toward your mission. You can add needed items from any store, mark your top priorities as Most Wanted, and donors don't need an account to view your list, claim an item, or give. That zero-friction giving means more supporters actually follow through, and claim tracking shows what's already covered each time supporters open the list, so the group can see what is still needed instead of doubling up.

Sharing is built for the way charities actually reach people. Send your giving tree by link, email, text, or social media, or drop the link into your newsletter and donation page so the ask lives where your community already is. The Gift Tracker shows who claimed or purchased each item, which makes thank-you notes and donor follow-up far easier. It's a registry built for generosity: cash gifts go straight to your own payment account, with nothing held in between.

How does a nonprofit set up a charity gift list?

Start by creating a free GiftList account and a new list for your cause, drive, or event. Add the items you need by pasting links from any store, choosing from daily-curated gift ideas, or asking Genie, our AI gift finder, for suggestions that fit your campaign. Give the list a clear title and cover image so supporters instantly understand what they're giving toward, and flag your most urgent needs as Most Wanted so donors know where to start.

When your list is ready, share it with a single link, send it by email or social media, or add it to your newsletter and donation page to start collecting donations. As supporters claim items, the list records what is covered and what is still open, so you can see where the gaps are. You can also invite teammates to collaborate on the same list, which is ideal for chapters, classrooms, and volunteer committees running a drive together.

GiftList makes it easy to exchange gifts with friends and family for any occasion, including birthdays, Christmas, holidays, weddings, baby registries, and more! To get started, sign up for a free GiftList account, create a gift list, add items from any site, and share your list with friends and family. GiftList is gifting made easy.

Yes! GiftList is free for everyone.

GiftList is a wishlist and registry service where members link to products they want. To buy a gift, click "Buy" to visit a third-party retailer and complete your purchase. Then, return to GiftList to mark the item as purchased to prevent others from buying the same gift. GiftList doesn’t handle payments, shipping, or gift wrapping—these are managed by the retailer. After marking an item as purchased, you’ll get a confirmation email from notifications@giftlist.com with a link to unreserve the gift if needed. Your personal information won’t be shared with the list owner unless they reveal their gifts and will never be used for marketing.

No account is needed to view a shared list or reserve a gift (mark it as purchased) — gift givers can do everything important as guests. You can also browse Gift Ideas and our gift guides without signing up. You'll need a free account to create your own lists, participate in a group gift exchange, follow friends, and get occasion reminders.

Yes! GiftList is a universal gift registry. Unlike an Amazon wish list, GiftList allows you to add items from any site or retailer.
