Best website for fundraiser?

Options
I recently started fundraising for a cgarity and exceeded my goal! I've been using Just Giving but they will be taking a fee from my donations which I hate.
I'm going to continue to fundraise for charity but I need another site which doesn't have a time limit or fees.
Any help is appreciated.

    Ask the charity which sites they are registered with - they may have a preference. And while you may object to paying a fee, the charity may feel it is money well spent, since they will not have to record 'your' individual donations and send receipts, pay multiple cheques into the bank, perhaps account for a load of small change, and then claim the Gift Aid where appropriate. That is all part of the JustGiving service. (And no, I don't work for them, the charity I work for prefers fundraisers to use another portal, but it is worth us paying a fee to the fundraising sites because they do carry out a fair bit of very tedious work!)

    Plenty of chuggers in our High Street every day. They seem to earn a good living from the charities they collect money for.
    I'm told, not sure if it's true, that they actually pocket the first 2 years donations for anyone they sign up via DD. That appears the going rate the charities are more than willing to pay.
    Presumably the numbers show such donaters continue to donate much more than 2 years, as the charity doesn't get to see any money until then.
