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.

The table on the rightbelow shows how our charges add up for a £20.00 donation.

Setup fees FREE
Donation value £20.00
1.9% platform fee £0.38
2.9% processing fee £0.58
Gift Aid supplement (If eligible) £5.00
Total fees on Gift Aid FREE
Without fees covered, your charity gets £24.04
With fees covered, your charity gets £25.00

Got questions? Here's what we're asked most

Select a question on the left to view its answer.

You can use Give as you Live Donate to create fundraising pages to receive donations for your chosen charity.

Our pages are perfect for big events, personal challenges, remembering a loved one and more.

You can also donate directly to any of our charities. We support monthly donations too, so you can give regularly.

You can support any of our 200,000+ UK charities.

When creating a fundraising page, you can select up to 5 charities to raise funds for.

Our charities range from big national charities to local schools, churches and social groups.

We do not support crowdfunding. All funds raised are paid to charity and not to any individuals.

A platform fee of 1.9% and a payment processing fee of 2.9% are taken to cover the cost of taking the donation and paying it to the charity.

Donors can choose to cover fees for the charity when making their donation.

There are no fees on Gift Aid and there are no set-up or monthly fees for your charity.

We pay charities once a month via our payment technology partner, Stripe.

Gift Aid is subject to approval by HMRC, therefore the Gift Aid portion of the payment can take a few months.
