£6 billion raised for good causes on JustGiving

Leading fundraising platform, JustGiving has surpassed £6 billion in donations through the platform.

JustGiving, which removed platform fees in March 2019, has managed almost 200 million donations from more than 180 countries since 2000.

Some recent JustGiving campaigns:

• £55 million was donated in response to the war on Ukraine
• £39 million was raised on the platform by people completing the London Marathon
• Sir Captain Tom Moore continues to hold the largest individual led online crowdfunding campaign in history, after his challenge went viral and led to more than £39 million donated to the NHS
• £13 million was donated in response to the earthquakes which affected Turkey and Syria.
• The late Dame Deborah James’ Bowelbabe fund recently surpassed £11 million. Deborah worked tirelessly campaigning to raise funds for and awareness of bowel cancer.

Pascale Harvie, President and General Manager of JustGiving said: “The last few years have been really hard for a lot of people, the COVID-19 pandemic followed by a cost-of-living crisis has meant that people have been through and continue to cope with the toughest of times.

“Yet, despite this, people of all ages continue to take action and support the causes they love. Our fundraisers and crowdfunders are extraordinary and what they have collectively achieved to benefit more than 20,000 charities and causes in the last year alone is remarkable.”

About JustGiving
JustGiving is the world’s most trusted platform for online giving. We help people raise money for the charities and people they care about the most. In 2000, JustGiving.com began with one simple goal – to enable charities to receive donations online from anywhere in the world. Fast forward 22 years and over £5 billion has been raised for good causes in almost every single country in the world.

JustGiving became part of Blackbaud, the world’s leading cloud software company powering social good in 2017.

To note – JustGiving does not charge a fee on donations but instead operates a voluntary contribution model, meaning people donating can choose to leave a ‘tip’ if they wish. The only non-optional fee is a 1.9% + 20p to cover card payment charges.
