Product Information

Charities on the platform can take part in Big Give match funding campaigns and build their own fundraising and match funding campaigns on the site. People can also donate directly to Carers Link Lancashire through our JustGiving page, and you can pay any cash donations in using our page.

And that’s not the only way these companies take cash away from charities – the biggest platforms Just Giving and Virgin Money Giving both charge charities to use their platforms.

Instead, philanthropic behavior, both individually and collectively, must be understood as embedded in political institutions, laws, and public policies, the sum total of which help to give shape, structure, and social meaning to philanthropy. This will make your fundraiser more reachable to different audiences and allow you to keep track of donations and money raised. However, most charities are not able to directly accept donations by credit or debit card, as that needs a very secure online payment system, to be able to accept card details.

I wanted simply to have a mechanism for my guests to donate to my charity instead of giving physical gifts.
