Set up a JustGiving page

How to set up a page to collect donations on behalf of the St George’s Kidney Patient Association.

Raising money online couldn’t be simpler. If you haven’t already, select “Fundraise for Us” link on this page and set up a JustGiving fundraising page so your friends and family can sponsor you in a matter of minutes.

JustGiving have created a really useful video on how to use your JustGiving page to make fundraising really easy. Watch the video.

Why fundraise online?

• It’s easy to set up and manage. Your friends and family can sponsor you from anywhere at any time and you don’t need to spend time collecting money.
• You can use it as well regular donation forms, giving friends and family two ways to support you.
• If you are a UK taxpayer, JustGiving will automatically reclaim at least 25% in Gift Aid on your donation at no additional cost to you.

Ways to make the most of your page

• Make your page as interesting as possible by adding photos and videos and letting everyone know why you’re raising money for cancer research.
• Share your page on Facebook and Twitter and email it to your friends and family. More and more donations are being made via social media so be sure to share a link to your page.
• Let people know that their donation will make a real difference to our research. We are funded entirely by the public and their money can help save lives.
• You can collect donations via mobile by logging on to your JustGiving page and use JustTextGiving to set up a unique ‘text to donate’ code. Texts are free and 100% of the donation, plus Gift Aid, goes to charity.
• Have you used the checklist to maximise your success? Just Giving have produced this checklist.
• Use the JustGiving app on your iPhone or Android to update your page.
