We hope you will join us on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 2:30 PM for a one-hour virtual session to learn more about GiftDrive, a free, user-friendly platform that helps nonprofits connect with donors and gather in-kind donations. You can register for this free event here.

GiftDrive was born out of a University of Vermont classroom in the fall of 2024 when three students, Logan Vaughan (UVM ’27), Miro Gohacki (UVM ’25), and Corinne Atwell (UVM ’27), saw how challenging it was for local organizations to manage in-kind donation drives and wishlists.

After interviewing dozens of Vermont nonprofits, the team learned that most struggle to track donations, collect donor info, send tax receipts, and communicate needs effectively. Many local nonprofits and other volunteer organizations still rely on spreadsheets, email chains, or paper lists to organize drives, leaving donors guessing what’s actually needed and how to give, and nonprofit staff or volunteers buried in logistics. As federal and state budget cuts make it more challenging for rural nonprofits and volunteer entities to carry out their work, efforts like GiftDrive strive to make it easier for busy community leaders to raise funds or solicit in-kind donations to fulfill their missions.

Session participants will learn from Logan Vaughan, one of the GiftDrive developers, how GiftDrive works, see a visual demonstration, and, if desired, receive tools to set up their own free GiftDrive account.
