Our fees

Give as you Live is a fundraising platform to help charities raise donations and to empower a growing nation of fundraisers.

Unlike JustGiving and Enthuse, 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 combined platform and processing fee of 2.5% on donations.

We've also allowed 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 100% of the donation with no fees.

Credit and debit card donations are taken by our payment technology provider, Stripe, and are therefore never held by Give as you Live Ltd.

Here's how our fees add up

Setup fees	FREE
Donation value	£20.00
2.5% combined platform & processing fee	£0.50
Gift Aid supplement (If eligible)	£5.00
Total fees on Gift Aid	FREE
Without fees covered, your charity gets	£24.50
With fees covered, your charity gets	£25.00

Setup fees

There are no setup or monthly fees to be registered as a charity on Give as you Live Corporate.

A charity must have registered status in order to be listed. We are able to accept charities registered with the charity commissions for England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. In addition, we can accept organisations registered as a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) or Community Interest Company (CIC), and any organisation recognised by HMRC as eligible for Gift Aid.

As part of the setup process, charities must provide payment details in order to receive payment. These payment details are then subject to our verification process which must be passed before a payment is made. We do not accept private bank accounts.

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

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.

Charities pay a processing fee of just 2.5% on donations made via our platform.

Donors have the option of topping-up their donation and many choose to cover fees.

There are no Gift Aid fees and we don't charge set-up or monthly subscription fees for charities or fundraisers.

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.

Give as you Live Donate is free for charities to join - unlike some fundraising websites, we do not charge any set-up or ongoing fees just be listed on our website.
