It has come to light that just giving charge a fee for donations which we think is not made clear on there site. To put the record straight her is what they charge. (thanks Aramyees)
What Just Giving charge:
Charities pay a 5% fee on donations (which we take from the Gift Aid we reclaim) and in return we help them raise more money, more efficiently. By leaving the costly and time-consuming stuff to us, they can spend more time, energy and money on doing good.
Here’s how we charge our 5% fee
You donate £10 and we send it to your charity that week.
We reclaim Gift Aid from the government (which takes a month), adding £2.82 to your donation.
We take our 5% fee (+VAT) from the Gift Aid, with credit/debit card/PayPal charges, and send all the rest to the charity. So for every £10 you give, the charity gets almost £12, and they get it faster.
Your donation £10
Gift Aid + supplement £2.82
Our 5% fee £0.64
VAT @ 17.5% £0.11
Credit card fee @ 1.45% £0.15
Total cost to charity £0.90
Total donation £11.92
