How to set up an online giving page

An online giving page is an easy way to fundraise for your event or challenge, as it allows people from all across the county (and beyond) to quickly head online and donate to your cause.

Here, we’ve put together steps to creating your own giving page on JustGiving plus raising money on Facebook.

There are two websites you can choose from to create your online giving page. We recommend Just Giving, as it’s a well know online fundraising platform, but it’s best to choose the website you feel the most comfortable with.

So, read on to find out how to set up online giving pages on JustGiving and Facebook.

Setting up a JustGiving page

  1. Head to justgiving.com.
