Is givv.org a 501c3?

They don't state this on their website, and they claim you can give to anyone, not just charities, which makes me wonder if you lose the tax-deductibility by using givv.

It doesn't look like they need to be 501c3 themselves, because they are merely an intermediary. It's strange that this is not obvious from the site, but in the 3-minute video, they said "...and at the end of the year you get a nice tax report of everyone you've given to..."

They say "Texas nonprofit corporation". Does that imply 501c3? They certainly could do a better job at organizing the information on their site.
