All the examples I can find in dictionaries use “make a promise”, but people also use “give a promise” and there is no difference in meaning in my opinion.
Here are two examples with “give a promise” from The Guardian:
When Seb Coe said 'I promise' he didn't promise for himself, he promised for you, he promised for me. He gave a promise on behalf of us all."
(https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/jan/27/tottenham-west-ham-olympic-stadium)
Trimble gave a promise to his party's rank and file last November to resign as First Minister if there was no progress on decommissioning by February.
