What is crowdfunding?
Raise funds for personal causes
With crowdfunding, you can raise funds for anything that positively impacts your local community, an individual or the environment.
Maybe you want to support a local school, raise funds for a friend in need, or cover the costs of medical treatment. With JustGiving, you can do all of that and more.
Start by setting up your online crowdfunding page. It couldn’t be easier to tell your story and start crowdfunding. Once you’ve verified your bank details, you can start receiving donations.
There are no upfront fees. You have full control – with your ability to withdraw the funds to your own bank account within 14 days.

Medical bills
Individuals can use crowdfunding to cover the cost of medical treatment for themselves or others.
Funeral costs
Crowdfunding can be used to remember loved ones, cover the cost of funerals or memorial services.
Vet bills

If you donʼt hit your target youʼll still receive any funds you raised (minus some small fees), so you can still make good things happen.
Our data shows that pages with targets raise more than those without, so itʼs good to have something to aim for.
A shorter time limit keeps up the momentum and thatʼs why pages have an initial duration of 120 days.
Once your page is active you can extend it up to 1 year if you prefer.
