Online fundraising for multiple charities

jonny_power

Hi,

I want to run a half marathon, and have used Justgiving.com before. However I want to split the money I raise between 2 charities. Is there an easy online way to do this? Justgiving doesn't seem to support it.

Thanks

I don't think you can do this via justgiving, short of setting up two separate pages? but then not an equal split!

i would also like to know if this is possible, im organising a sponsored skydive and would like to raise money for the 2 playgroups that my child attends
also would like to know if you can raise the money online if the charity isnt reg to a site like just giving?

If the charity isn't registered with the online site you want to use, then no, you won't be able to use that site to support that charity. If it's not a registered charity, they may have difficulty actually registering: you'll understand that the sites have to check that the money is going where it's supposed to, ie to charities with trustees who are responsible for ensuring that the money is well spent.

If the charity hasn't yet registered with any of the online sites, then it could well be worth doing so. Encourage them to take a look at Martin's article on this: there's a comparison table to show that it needn't even cost them anything! For those that do charge to register, those charges should be easily covered by a big event like a skydive!

Yes they are a registerd charity (under 5s playgroup) think they are silly not being involved in one of these sites there is much more potential to raise funds this way, Thankyou

I am interested in this also, I did some digging on the Just Giving website and found this link

http://justgiving.zendesk.com/entries/483118-can-i-create-a-page-to-raise-funds-for-more-than-one-charity

The gist of it is that you can't directly give to two charities from one page but you can create multiple pages one for each charity and then create a Team page which links to the charity pages.

You then give the link of the team page to your friends and relatives and they can decide which they want to donate to.
