JustGiving
JustGiving is a British multinational online social platform for charity giving. The company was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in Bankside, London, England. JustGiving has been owned by Blackbaud since its acquisition in October 2017. As of September 2025, JustGiving has 25,700 charities using its platform and 22 million users globally.
In 2000, Zarine Kharas and Anne-Marie Huby founded JustGiving (initially clickforaction.com), a company to provide online tools and processing services to enable the collection of charitable donations.
In 2002, JustGiving won the New Media Awards Grand Prix award and also Best Use of the Web award.[failed verification]
In 2004, JustGiving was recognised in the 2004 Charity Times annual Awards in their Fundraising & IT Services category. Charity Times said the company had "transformed the face of donating in the UK".
2006 was the firm's first profitable year. In June 2011, the firm claimed that it had provided its service for more than 9,000 UK registered charities and 1.9 million fundraising pages for users, collecting more than £770 million since launch. The cumulative total passed £1 billion in March 2012. The cumulative total passed £4 billion in June 2016.
JustGiving charged a 5% fee on all donations to cover the cost of running the business until March 2019, when the fee was made voluntary. In 2008, The Guardian reported Kharas as acknowledging that "the commission charged by justgiving.com is controversial".
In January 2010, Charlie Simpson, aged seven, raised more than £210,000 (£145,000 in the first 48 hours) via his JustGiving page for the 2010 Haiti earthquake relief programme by UNICEF.
In March 2014, Christian Smith was killed in a crash with a car during a 24-hour charity bike ride for Mind. Donations via his JustGiving page rose to more than £68,000 after his death was covered in the media.
