What is a GivingProfile?

Your public impact identity. A permanent, verifiable record of every contribution you make on OpenGiving.

A GivingProfile is your public impact identity on OpenGiving.

It's a permanent, verifiable record of every contribution you make — whether you sell items that fund campaigns, buy from the marketplace, or contribute directly to causes.

What Gets Tracked

Every action on OpenGiving builds your profile:

  • Total impact generated — cumulative funds you've helped raise
  • Campaigns supported — every cause you've contributed to
  • Items sold — your sales that routed funds to campaigns
  • Levels and tiers — your progression through Beginner, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond
  • Streaks — consistent weekly participation
  • Badges — achievements for milestones and special actions

Why Profiles Matter

Traditional giving is invisible. You contribute to a cause and that's it — no history, no record, no proof of your generosity.

GivingProfiles change that.

Your profile is:

  • Public — anyone can see your impact
  • Permanent — your history doesn't disappear
  • Verifiable — every transaction is tracked
  • Portable — share it anywhere with a single link

How It Works

  1. Create an account — your profile starts empty
  2. Take action — sell, buy, or contribute
  3. Build your profile — every action adds to your record
  4. Share your impact — link to your profile to show your history

Use Cases

  • Personal identity — prove your giving history
  • Campaign credibility — established profiles signal trust
  • Seller reputation — buyers check seller profiles
  • Community recognition — top contributors appear on leaderboards

Your GivingProfile is your verified impact identity. The more you participate, the more it grows.
