Set up a Fundraising Page

For Community Sponsorship Groups who have Citizens UK as a Lead Sponsor

If we are acting as your Lead Sponsor, you can raise money via Citizens UK, through our Fundraising Platforms, DONATE & Justgiving.

Because we are a registered charity, this allows us to claim Gift Aid (an extra 25p for every £1 doanted by a UK taxpayer). Once you have set up a group bank account, we will transfer your fundraising balance once a month.

You can set up with one or both fundraising platforms. They have the following features:

DONATE	Justgiving
Example Information Page & Donation Page	Example of a Fundraising Page, Donation Page, and Team Page
Fees: 4.5% (+ 22p for web donations) £30 Gift Aided donation = £35.69	Fees: Card-processing fee = 1.9% + 0.20 5% fee on Gift Aid £30 Gift Aided donation = £36.36
Can’t see funding total on main page (have to check separate page, e.g. here)	Shows fundraising total very clearly
One-Off Donations & Regular Giving (e.g. £5 per month) Text to Donate Text Lottery (text £X for a raffle ticket – then when you draw, the winning person will get a phone call – great at events!)	One-off Donations & Regular Giving (e.g. £5 per month) Can set up a Team Page with linked sponsored event pages.
Page must be set-up and edited by Sponsor Refugees	Groups set up and edit page yourself
Not-for-profit	For-Profit Company
Recommended for general donations	Recommended for sponsored events

Both platforms also claim Gift Aid (HMRC gives an additional 25p for every £1 donated by a UK taxpayer, at no cost to the donor).
