JustGiving deducts a 5% fee from each donation made through the site. In return we help people raise more money, more efficiently. By leaving the costly and time-consuming stuff to us, charities can spend more time and energy on what they do best - changing more lives.

Here's what we're busy doing for our 5% fee

• Running, monitoring 24/7 and constantly improving JustGiving's technology so it can handle high levels of traffic while meeting the latest security and banking standards.
• Constantly creating new fundraising tools and services for charities, at no extra cost.
• Taking full responsibility for the Gift Aid we claim on charities' behalf, being regularly audited by HMRC.
• Providing dedicated customer service for charities and their supporters, giving prompt and expert advice.
• Giving charities full access to their data, helping them track and analyse their fundraising success.
• Providing free support to charities (especially the small ones) on how to raise even more online.
• Giving you a clean, junk-free experience. 

Here’s how we charge our 5% fee

1. You donate £10.00, we deduct our 5% fee along with any card charges from our payment partners, and send the rest to the charity that week.
2. We boost your donation by 25% by reclaiming Gift Aid from the government - it usually takes about a month. We then deduct our 5% fee and automatically send the rest over to the charity,
3. So for every £10.00 you give, the charity gets £11.74.

Here's how it works in a bit more detail:

* Charges vary depending on whether you use a credit or debit card (1.25%) or PayPal UK (1.45%)

Currently, UK charities also pay a monthly subscription fee of £15 + VAT or £39 + VAT for our service. Learn more in our Charity Terms and Conditions.

Crowdfunding fees

It's free to sign up and create a Crowdfunding Page.

Our payment processing partners deduct a 1.25% fee for donations made on a debit or credit card and a 1.45% fee for donations made via Paypal UK. These fees aren't taken by JustGiving, and are the same as any other online transaction fees.
