How GoFundMe Can Help After the Closure of Virgin Money Giving
After the sad announcement Virgin Money Giving is closing in November 2021, charities and individuals fundraising may be looking for alternatives. If you are a charity or someone looking to fundraise, we can help you.
Fundraising for charity
At GoFundMe we put charity at the heart of our fundraising experience.
If you are someone who is looking to raise funds for a cause that is close to your heart we are here to help you. We know raising funds for charity can be an exciting and nerve wracking experience.
Once you have chosen the charity you want to fundraise for you can launch your campaign with a click of a button and your funds will be delivered directly to the charity safely and securely. Unlike our competitors we don’t take a penny out of Gift Aid meaning 100 percent goes to the charity.
