How to Fundraise For a Charity - UK

Transcription

1 Charity The only UK fundraising & crowd-funding site where 100% of donations goes to the charity

2 Fee-free fundraising How much of your 100 donation reaches the charity you support? Did you know that all other UK fundraising sites (including JustGiving) charge charities up to 6.3% in fees? Crowdfunding sites can even top that - with commission fees reaching up to 10%. Make a Donation doesn t charge charities any fees whatsoever and never will. We are passionate about fundraising and believe that charging charities fees is both wrong and unnecessary. We have created a platform that is changing the future of giving and allowing charities to receive 100% of their hard-earned donations. Make a Donation Virgin Money Giving Just Giving Just to clarify - we don t charge any commission fees or set-up charges. Plus, we even pay your bank transaction fees for you - something no other fundraising site does and which will save your charity 1.7% per donation on average. Welcome to the future of fundraising.
