How-to guides

Step-by-step guides to each of our fundraising solutions, with screenshots from the real product.

Campaigns

Run a fundraising campaign online

One donation page for your appeal, with its own text code, short link and QR code. DONATE claims the Gift Aid and pays you with your payouts.

Giving

How supporters donate

What supporters see when they give on a DONATE donation page or by text, from the amount to the receipt.

Team Challenges

Run a team fundraising challenge

Supporters fundraise together as a team, and every member gets their own page and link to share with their sponsors. You can charge an entry fee, which is never Gift Aided, and ask entrants to raise a minimum.

Tickets

Sell tickets and check guests in

Entry tickets for your dinner, show or open day, set up in a few questions. Each guest gets a QR code ticket, scanned at the door with the DONATE App on volunteers' phones.

Raffles

Run a raffle online

Sell raffle tickets online and by text, then draw the winners in your portal. A ticket buys a chance to win, so it is a payment, not a gift.

Auctions

Run an online charity auction

Bidders compete for your lots on their phones and winners pay by link. Gift Aid applies only to what is paid above a lot's value.

Voting

Run a vote

Supporters vote for your candidates, by donation at a fixed price per vote, online or by text, or in a free vote, once per email address. A live board shows the standings on a big screen.

Corporate fundraising

Sign up as a company and fundraise for charities

Open a DONATE account for your company, add the charities you raise for, and publish your first campaign. DONATE pays what you raise straight to the charities.
