The true cost of fundraising
Some well-known platforms are claiming to be 'free for charities' but still leave charities with no choice but to pay registration fees, card fees, Gift Aid fees, monthly fees and high bank fees - while donors are asked for 'tips' that go directly to the platform.
We believe fees should be transparent. There are no ongoing monthly charges, you only incur fees when you get donations. Here's how our fees stack up:
| What are the fees | People's Fundraising Branded Service | [People's Fundraising] Charity Branded Managed Service | Just Giving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registration fee | Free | Free | Free |
| Monthly fee | Free | Free | £15 + VAT to £39 + VAT |
| Platform fee | 1.75% / 2.75% | 2.75% / 2.9% | 5% to 15% |
| Payment processing fee | 0.85% + 8p | 0.85% + 8p | 1.9% + 20p |
| Gift Aid fee | Free | Free | Optional 5% fee |
