Frequently Asked Questions

What are the JustGiving fundraising leaderboards?

The JustGiving leaderboards track your fundraising and show you where you stand among fellow fundraisers! Raise money on JustGiving and watch as you climb the ranks, both overall and in your fundraising event.

Plus, you’ll earn special badges along the way to help you celebrate every win and share your journey, all while making a difference for charity.

How do I get on the leaderboard?

It’s simple…all you need is to want to make a difference for charity!

Get on the overall JustGiving fundraising leaderboard: use JustGiving to fundraise for a registered charity in the UK and get one or more donations to your Fundraising Page in 30 days.

Get on the JustGiving Event leaderboard: use JustGiving to raise money in a specific upcoming Event with more than 200 fundraisers on JustGiving (e.g. London Marathon, Great North Run, Royal Parks Half Marathon) and get one or more donations to your Fundraising Page in 30 days.

Why am I on the leaderboard?

Congratulations – you’re on the board!

If you’re not part of an Event, you qualified for the overall leaderboard by fundraising for a registered charity in the UK and had one or more donations to your Fundraising Page in the last 30 days.

If you’re fundraising in an Event with 200 or more fundraisers on JustGiving, you’re showing up because you’re one of those incredible fundraisers and you’ve had one or more donations to your Fundraising Page in the last 30 days.

Why can't I find my page on the leaderboard?

Overall Leaderboard: your page will drop out if there haven’t been donations for 30+ days. To rejoin, start getting donations again!

Event Leaderboard: your page stays on the leaderboard until 21 days after the event ends. If there haven’t been donations for 30 days after this period, the page is removed. Event leaderboards will no longer show two months after the event date.

Why can't I find an Event on the leaderboard?

Events only have a leaderboard if they have more than 200 fundraisers on JustGiving and took place in the last two months.

If you’re doing an Event on JustGiving and don’t see a leaderboard for it – share it, rally your friends and family, and get more people involved!

How long will my page be on the leaderboard?

If you’re not part of an Event, you’ll continue to appear on the leaderboard if your page has not expired and you’ve received donations in the last 30 days.

If you’re fundraising in an Event on JustGiving, your page will show on the leaderboard until 21 days after the event date has passed, and if you’ve received donations in the last 30 days.

Can I opt out of the leaderboard?

Yes, you can opt your Fundraising Page out of the leaderboard at any time. Heads up though, once you’ve chosen to leave or opt your page out of the leaderboards, you can’t rejoin!

However, if you create a new page in the future, that page will automatically show up on the leaderboards, which you can then opt out again if you choose.
