Wishgenie fundraising platform

NCVO, the National Council for Voluntary Organisations, has partnered with the fundraising platform Wishgenie with the aim of helping charities increase their fundraising, volunteering and community engagement through social media.

The free service, which can be signed up to as an organisation or individual, offers:

• Fundraise by shopping - When a charity’s supporters shop online or instore, a percentage will be donated back to the charity, including from birthday and wedding wish lists;
• Create fundraising challenges - Charities can ask supporters to run marathons on their behalf and no commission is taken from the funds raised;
• Crowdfund - Charities can raise funds for something specific by creating a campaign and collecting commission-free funds directly into their account;
• Recruit volunteers - Source and manage volunteers for the charity; and
• Increase corporate donations - Add more visibility to donations from local businesses giving them more incentive to support the charity.
