How a page works — for fundraisers

An online fundraising page is the easiest and most efficient way to collect donations. Friends and family can sponsor you by credit or debit card from anywhere in the UK or the world. This is how it works.

1. To create a page, you need to fill in a few details about yourself, and choose a password for your Justgiving account. Your name, address and email address are passed on to the charity you are supporting, so that it can receive automatic updates on how much you are raising.

2. You then choose a web address, a message, a photograph, a fundraising target (optional) and a thank-you message for your donors. You can also choose to receive an email alert each time someone donates to your page. Once you are happy with the way your page looks, you email it to all your friends and contacts and watch the money start rolling in.

3. If they choose to donate, their gift will be processed and sent to charity immediately.

4. All donors receive the automatic thank-you email that you wrote when you created your page. If they have any questions they can contact our helpdesk at .

5. Justgiving sends donations to charity every week. In addition, Justgiving automatically reclaims 28% in Gift Aid on UK donations, helping you raise more at no extra cost.

We hope you enjoy using your Justgiving fundraising page. If you have any further questions please contact memberservices@justgiving.com.
