Video: Five digital fundraising platforms your charity should know about

Fundraising platforms have exploded over the last few years. The platforms are helpful to charities, providing an easy and simple method for raising money without too much fuss. But, with so many options on the market, so many organisations offering services, choosing the right digital fundraising plaftorm can be a challenge.

Each platform has different capabilities and fuctionalities, ranging from the most simplistic donation options to high-tech fundraising functionalities. Some offer Gift Aid options, other do not. Some have processing fees, service fees, and other hidden costs. Some charge more, but justify the charge through innovative optimisation options.

Today’s video aims to help you decide. It looks at five of the most popular platforms currently on the market, explores the functionalities and prices, and explains why such platforms may be right for your charity. We discuss the following five organisations, all of which offer popular digital fundraising platforms:

• Charities Aid Foundation
• Donr

The video aims to give an overview of each platform, but we encourage charities to research further, judge each platform against your needs, and cast a broader net to see if other platforms are more suitable. There are so many options, as we discuss in our article on fundraising platforms.
