Crowdfunder
launches a fee-free platform for charity fundraising today, with transaction charges covered, no fee taken on Gift Aid, and platform fees set to 0%.
According to Crowdfunder, this makes it the only crowdfunding platform to offer 100% fee-free fundraising to charities and people raising funds for charities, with donations received administered by Charities Trust, including Gift Aid, to ensure that 100% of both go to charity.

Supporters will be asked if they want to “tip” the platform to cover costs, but this will be optional.
Simon Deverell, Creative Director, Crowdfunder said:
“Every penny raised for charity should go to charity. The millions of hard-working fundraisers deserve platforms that put their goals – to raise as much money for their chosen cause – first.
“For too long fundraising platforms have profited from people’s goodwill. We believe this model is outdated. That’s why we’ve launched a totally fee free fundraising platform and will roll out rewards- based pledging and match funding over the next six months.”
