I'm doing a sponsored run in a few months and want to set up an internet account so that people can donate to charity. The only one I know is https://www.justgiving.com does anyone know of any others? Justigiving takes a percentage and it would be nice to find one that didn't. Bit of a longshot I guess.

Hi ,
They do take a very little percentage I think but it is the ones the charities ask you to go through usually, well Cancer Research UK were the ones who told me about it.
Good Luck!!0 -
Oooh, thanks for the info!0

You have to bear in mind that if you want people to donate online, they want to do so through a secure site. Providing a secure site and passing the money on to the RIGHT charity costs money, so it's not unreasonable to charge a small percentage for the convenience ...
I'm not aware of anyone else offering this service either, but would be glad to know of others!Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
There are a few alternatives, but justgiving is the biggest and best known.
They all charge a feee for the service, which isn't unreasonable, and the fact that they help make sure that Gift Aid is claimed, means that it can work out better for the charities. I think this has been posted about before...

justgiving is by far the biggest and most known. Sadly they do charge a flat £15-20 fee per month plus VAT which can be a little harsh when you start out as a charity. As well as 5% charge - this I would feel was oughtweighed by the fact they automatically reclaim the gift aid for the charity so if you give £10 then the actual donation is worth over £11.50 to the charity even after the 5% handling fee.DFW Nerd #025DFW no more!
