FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a charity gift list or digital giving tree?

A charity gift list is a shareable list of the items a nonprofit, school, shelter, or community drive needs, so supporters know what to give. It works like a digital giving tree: instead of paper tags pinned to a board, each need lives on one online list. A food pantry, animal rescue, classroom, or holiday toy drive can combine items from different retailers in one focused list.

Because the list is not tied to a single store, you can mix everyday supplies, big-ticket equipment, gift cards, and cash needs on one page. Supporters claim what they want to cover, and claimed items are marked for other supporters, so the group can see what is still outstanding instead of doubling up on one need.

Why use GiftList to run your nonprofit wish list?

Create and share a GiftList nonprofit wishlist for free, with no credit card required to start. Add needed items from different stores, mark top priorities as Most Wanted, and let supporters view or claim an item without an account. Claim tracking shows what is already covered when supporters open the list, making duplicate purchases less likely.

Share your giving tree by link, email, text, or social media, or add it to a newsletter and donation page. The Gift Tracker shows claims and purchases to help with thank-you notes and follow-up. Cash funds use supported external payment methods; GiftList records contributions but does not process or hold the payment, and provider terms may apply.

How does a nonprofit set up a charity gift list?

Start by creating a free GiftList account and a list for your cause, drive, or event. Add items with product links or manual entry, browse Gift Ideas, or ask Genie for suggestions. Give the list a clear title and cover image, and flag urgent needs as Most Wanted so supporters 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 is a free wishlist, gift registry and Secret Santa app. Add gifts from any online store to one list for birthdays, holidays, weddings, babies and more, share the link, and let friends and family reserve gifts from that link without an account so they can see what’s already taken. To get started, sign up for a free GiftList account and create your first list.

Yes. GiftList is free: creating lists and registries, sharing them, running a Secret Santa, and setting up cash funds or group gifts cost nothing, and gift-givers don’t need an account. You pay only the store for the gifts you buy, and payment apps like Venmo or PayPal may charge their own fees on contributions.

Open the gift, tap “Buy” to go to the retailer’s site and buy it there, then come back to GiftList and mark it as purchased (reserve it) so other gift-givers can see it’s taken. No account is needed; you just enter your name and email. GiftList doesn’t handle payments, shipping or gift wrapping; the retailer does. You’ll get a confirmation email from notifications@giftlist.com with a link to unreserve the gift if needed. Your name stays hidden from the list owner until they choose to reveal their gifts.

No. You don’t need an account to view a shared list or reserve a gift (mark it as purchased); gift-givers just enter a name and email. You can also browse Gift Ideas and our gift guides without signing up. You’ll need a free account to create your own lists, see your match in a Secret Santa exchange, follow friends and get occasion reminders.

Yes. GiftList is a universal wishlist and registry: paste a link from any online store and the item is added to your list. Product details fill in automatically when the store makes them available, and you can always edit them or add an item manually.
