Ultimate Flexibility
Your nonprofit is unique and your sponsorship management platform should be robust and flexible to meet its specific needs.
- Use as many different sponsorship types as you want. Student sponsorships, child sponsorships, missionary sponsorship, staff, classroom, team, or program/initiative sponsorships. Whatever it is, Outgiven can handle it.

Priority One: Student Privacy and Safety
We believe that student privacy and protection is paramount, and is a guiding principle in our philosophy of operation and how we build and utilize technology.
- Outgiven's Identity Mask© technology can be enabled on any of your sponsorship types and allows you to protect the identity of students or other sensitive populations in your programs.
- When Identity Mask® is enabled, images are automatically blurred, and additional identifiable information is masked in the public viewing directory.
- Sponsoring unlocks a profile, and the sponsor then has full access to name, image galleries, and other information that you make available to them. Even then, you still have full control over limiting what sensitive information is displayed, such as birthdays and last names.
Intuitive Administration
With Outgiven, you have the tools at your fingertips to efficiently and effectively manage your sponsorship programs.
- Delegate sponsorship management activities to your staff, and use permission management to limit access to specific areas of responsibility.
- Easily manage and update all aspects of your sponsorship programs, including student sponsorship profiles, sponsorship types, branding, and integrations.
- Manage branding and logos, as well as key contact info for account owners, sponsorship coordinators, and support personnel.
- Manage payment settings, account linking, and payout details with the click of a button.
Robust Reporting and Integration
As your sponsorship programs grow, it is important to have comprehensive reporting in place to track, analyze and optimize your programs. Outgiven provides you with the tools you need to do just that.
- Always have a pulse on your sponsorship programs, including current sponsorships and related status and detail information, as well as historical reporting.
- Payment and transaction reporting, with full detail to allow you to reconcile and audit all aspects of your sponsorship donation revenue.

Engagement Tools
Student sponsorship is an opportunity for ongoing engagement and interaction with your donor base. The Outgiven sponsorship platform gives you the tools to bring your sponsorship program to life.
- Outgiven automates all aspects of email communication with your sponsors, including welcome emails, sponsorship renewal reminders, and much more. Email analytics are included so that you can measure the engagement of your initiatives. Emails are fully branded to your organization.
- You can provide unlimited sponsorship updates using rich text and images, and those updates are provided to relevant sponsors both through email and through online access.
- Gift sponsorships allow for meaningful giving opportunities, where anyone can gift a sponsorship to another person for any amount or duration. At the end of the gift sponsorship period, Outgiven automatically prompts the sponsor to convert to an ongoing sponsorship!
- Lightning Sponsorships are great for live events, and allow you to capture donor's attention in the moment. Using a generated QR code, donors can sponsor a student in under a minute, and then come back later to create and configure an account.
- Much more!
Payment Integration
Simply and securely link your bank account in just a couple of minutes for payouts. Outgiven partners with Stripe to provide a secure, PCI compliant payment gateway for your sponsorship program.
- Secure integrated payment gateway for worry free subscriptions and payouts.
- Receive payouts on a weekly basis
- Accept all major credit and debit cards, bank debits (ACH, ACSS), and major digital wallets.
- Automated failed payment mitigation, with automatic retries and notifications to the donor with instructions on payment method updates.
Moderated Messaging
Safe messaging provides a streamlined and efficient way of engaging sponsors and allowing them to personally share in the lives of the people they sponsor.
- Through their Outgiven profile, sponsors can compose and send messages to their sponsored student.
- Adminstrators with the Messaging role recieve notifications when a new message is submitted. They can then review and approve a message for delivery to the sponsored person.
- OpenAI powers state of the art translation capabilities that are fast and accurate, saving you time and ensuring that the message is communicated as intended.
- Automated emails keep both the sponsor and the messaging administrator informed of current status.
- Messaging administrators can reply on behalf of the sponsored person, either by sending an image of a handwritten letter or by typing/transcribing a message directly.
Giving Occasions
Occasions is a feature of the Outgiven platform that allows you to engage with your sponsors and extended donor network by providing one time giving opportunities above and beyond recurring sponsorship giving.
- Create one time giving opportunities such as back to school drives, christmas giving, teacher bonuses, and more. A fun and engaging giving page is created for each Occasion.
- Existing sponsors are automatically emailed information about the occasions along with a link to the giving page. The link or QR code can also be provided to non-sponsors for an opportunity to donate as well.
- Occasions can be configured to automatically generate for student birthdays, so that giving opportunities are automatically captured with no addition configuration and work from you.
- Occasion analytics allow you to track and analyze the performance of your Occasions, such as the number of emails open/clicked, and the donation revenue performance.
