Who we are · Built in Chicago

Born in Chicago. Built to centralize the work of culture.

For 10+ years we've watched companies juggle five vendors for the same job — a swag supplier, a kitting partner, a recognition platform, a corporate gifting tool, an employee appreciation program. Five contracts. Five dashboards. Givenly was built to replace all five with one relationship.

Our story

A Chicago success story.

Givenly was founded in Chicago more than a decade ago by a team that had spent years inside the messy reality of corporate gifting and branded merch — and decided it didn't have to be messy.

Today we serve 500+ enterprise customers across North America and beyond. We power swag stores, recognition feeds, milestone gifts, and client gifting programs for brands like Madison Square Garden, Northrop Grumman, McKee Foods — and hundreds more.

We're still based in Chicago. Still privately held. Still building.

What we believe

Four things we won't compromise on.

The values that shape every product decision, every customer commitment, every Chicago-built feature.

One relationship, not five.

Consolidation isn't a feature — it's the whole reason Givenly exists. Every product we add has to fit the same contract, the same dashboard, the same account team.

Premium over plentiful.

A 20,000+ catalog only matters if you'd actually want to receive what's in it. We curate hard, edit out the cheap stuff, and stand behind brands employees recognize.

Done right, on time.

Pop-up stores in days. Holiday programs that ship before December 24. Onboarding kits at the door before day one. We measure ourselves in delivered packages, not promises.

HR-configured, IT-approved.

SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, HRIS integrations, security reviews on file. The platform HR can run without putting another ticket on engineering's queue.

Why companies choose Givenly

Four reasons people stay.

The proof points our 500+ customers cite when their procurement team asks "why this vendor."

No inventory hassles.

Zero warehouses, zero waste. Print-on-demand swag, address-on-demand kits, points-driven gifting. We carry nothing you don't need.

20,000+ curated gifts.

From Apple gear to Yeti drinkware to Michelin-starred dinner reservations. Recipients pick what they actually want — not what HR thinks they want.

Seamless recognition.

Mobile-native, AI-assisted, and tied directly to rewards. Recognition that ends with delivery, not a thumbs-up that goes nowhere.

10+ years experience.

A decade of running culture programs at scale. We've seen the failure modes — and built the platform around avoiding them.

Ready to consolidate?

One Chicago team. One platform. Five vendors gone.
