Our fees
Give as you Live Donate is a fundraising platform that aims to help charities raise donations and to empower a growing nation of fundraisers.
Unlike JustGiving and Virgin Money Giving, we have no setup or monthly fees meaning charities can utilise our Give as you Live Donate platform for free.
In order to cover our costs as well as keep developing our fundraising platform to support charities, we charge a low 1.9% platform fee and a 2.9% payment processing fee on donations.
We also allow donors the option of covering these small fees for charities. On average 80% of our donors cover this charge, meaning your charity will likely receive the majority of your donations in full with no charges.
