Turn Your CircleInto Impact.

A Cause Champion is a volunteer fundraiser. You pick a cause, pledge an amount you would like to raise, and share your fundraising page with the people who know you. The donations directly go to the verified NGO behind the cause. Cause Champions never handle or receive donation funds themselves.

No. Starting a fundraiser costs you nothing. There is no joining fee, no charge for your page or your poster, and no minimum you have to raise. Being a Cause Champion is a volunteer role, so you are not paid on what you raise. You give your voice to the cause; the money goes to the NGO.

A fundraising page with your own link, a personalised poster you can share, and someone from our team to help you through it. We also share the facts that can help you with creating a video appeal if you’d like to do so. When a donation comes in we thank the donor on behalf of you, the NGO and The Giving Circle, and we let you know.

Nothing happens, and you owe nothing. There is no financial liability on you if you do not raise it. The amount you pledge is a target you set for yourself, not a commitment you owe to anyone. Whatever you raise reaches the cause.

It takes very little of your time and it is entirely flexible. We create all the communication material, and you share it with your network on WhatsApp, Instagram and any other social media. You decide how long to keep your fundraiser running. There is no fixed term and no minimum period.

Yes, and it is one of the best reasons to start. A birthday, a wedding or an anniversary, a run you are training for, a milestone at work, or the memory of someone you have lost. Tell us the date when you start and we will arrange it for you.

Yes. You can dedicate your fundraiser to someone, and many Cause Champions do: in honour of a parent, in celebration of a friend, in memory of someone they have lost. Tell us and we will put it on your page. The funds you raise go to the verified NGO behind the cause, never to an individual.

Yes, and many do. A fundraiser travels on trust rather than on money, so you do not need a large following or a network with deep pockets. Students are often better at this than they expect, because the people around them pay attention to what they care about.

If you are under 18, you will need a parent's or guardian's consent.

At the end of your fundraiser we issue a certificate together with the partner NGO, which you are welcome to use for a college application or a CV.

Yes. At the end of your fundraiser we issue a certificate jointly with the partner NGO you raised for, so it carries their name alongside ours. Students are welcome to use it for a college application, a CV or a school community-service requirement. We also tell you what your fundraising went on to support.

Straight to the NGO. Donations go directly to the partner NGO through the NGO's own payment gateway and into the NGO's own bank account. The Giving Circle does not receive, hold, or process donation funds at any stage.
