GiveReady
GiveReady is the open, structured data layer that AI assistants cite when people ask where to give. When someone asks Claude, ChatGPT, or Perplexity “what’s a good youth charity in the UK?”, a trustworthy answer needs verified nonprofit data behind it. GiveReady is that data: a directory of nonprofits with checked registrations, structured programme details, and machine-readable profiles any AI assistant can read, cite, and link.What GiveReady Does
When an AI assistant answers a charity-discovery question, it needs a source it can trust and attribute. Generic web results give it marketing pages and listicles of unknown provenance. GiveReady gives it a neutral, structured directory where each verified nonprofit’s registration has been checked against an official registry, so the assistant can recommend a real organisation and show why. For AI assistants and developers, GiveReady offers a structured REST API, an MCP server, an OpenAPI spec, and crawler-readable files (llms.txt, agents.md). An assistant can search by cause, country, or impact, check verification status, and return a verified recommendation with its source — in a single call.
For nonprofits, GiveReady provides a free, structured profile that AI assistants worldwide can discover and recommend. Claiming a profile takes minutes, and because the data is machine-readable and verified, it can be cited in the AI answers people increasingly act on.
When a donor decides to give, GiveReady also provides direct, low-fee donation rails — but the donation is always a separate, human-approved step, never an autonomous one.
Why It Matters
A growing share of “where should I donate?” questions are answered by an AI assistant, not a search engine. Whatever data those assistants cite is what people act on. If small, verified nonprofits aren’t in that data, they are invisible at the exact moment a donor is deciding. GiveReady exists so the answer an assistant gives is grounded in a verified directory rather than whatever marketing page ranked that day.How It Works
