DONATE enables your friends and supporters to make an immediate donation using their mobile phone (text and web), contactless payments or to bid in a silent auction or enter a text-based raffle. Charities are charged from 2.95%*. This covers the charges made by card providers, text providers and banks for processing payments. Our administration costs are covered through a DONATE fee when we make outpayments**.
* When donors add Gift Aid we do even better and send on 114% of the donation.

Charities
Beyond standard donation facilities, the DONATE platform opens up new sources of income via silent auctions and text raffles. Other providers can charge anything up to £5,000 to setup your silent auction. Our platform has no fixed costs.
Non-charity fundraisers
Non-charities can use the DONATE platform too, but they pay 5% transaction fees to cover the additional scrutiny checks.
Donors
Our low fees mean that as much as 97.05%* of their money goes where they intended – to the charity of their choice.
