Who we are and what we do 5
Our story We believe everyone is naturally generous. All over the world, people give when they can. Our founders Zarine Kharas and Anne-Marie Huby pictured a world where giving was easier, more enjoyable and inspiring. In 2001 they founded JustGiving and started to make it happen. First came the online fundraising page: a radically easy way for fundraisers to share their stories, raise money and transfer it to their chosen charity. It was revolutionary. We were the world s first online fundraising business, making donations simpler and safer for everyone. And we re proud to say we ve been growing the world of giving ever since: innovating with companies, charities and developers; investing our fees in world-class technology; and helping raise over $1.6 billion for thousands of charities. 100% brilliant service. I ve been really impressed throughout: it is easy to use and makes fundraising so much easier. I love all the different ways that people can donate too, for example on Facebook. I wouldn t have raised half as much without JustGiving! Hol Langley, fundraiser We re creating a future where donating is so inspiring that it becomes part of everyday life. Where giving is a given. We d love you to join us. 6
JustGiving has been used by... 1.4 million fundraisers in 200 countries 21 million donors in 250 countries 7
How it works On JustGiving, your supporters can make online fundraising pages to raise money for your cause. They can tell their story using words, pictures and videos. Then they can share their page with friends by email or social networks like Facebook, and ask them to donate money. And your charity can receive donations directly from your supporters too. Once you join JustGiving, anyone in the world can donate to your charity using our super-secure technology. 1 2 3 We make it easy for your supporters to donate and give them a choice of currencies. We send the donations to your charity securely by seamless bank transfer. So whether your supporters are sponsoring a friend or sending you a donation directly, no one has to lift a finger. Charities pay us a fee of between 5% and 2% of the donation. In return, we help you raise more money by giving you the best tools, built with world-class technology. 4 JustGiving.com is the most-visited site in the UK charity giving sector. We re able to process record numbers of donations at a moment s notice because of the millions of pounds we re investing. 5 Our innovative tools make it even easier for people to support the causes they care about on Facebook, mobile or on wherever they are. That s why more charities in the UK recommend JustGiving than any other online fundraising service. 8
