What is Wonderful.org?

Wonderful.org is a free online fundraising platform for anyone wishing to raise money for a registered UK charity. Fundraisers and charities choose Wonderful.org to ensure that every penny raised as part of a fundraising event or challenge reaches the charity.

Why we don't take cards

We do not take a percentage of funds raised, ask for tips, or do anything that prevents 100% of donations going to the causes that charity supporters are so passionate about. We are inspired and driven by that passion.

Making a donation

Making a payment via Wonderful - whether as a consumer or a charity donor - needs to feel safe and secure. Wonderful is an FCA Authorised Payment Institution leveraging the speed, security and simplicity of Open Banking.

Are recurring payments supported?

Recurring donations are a widely requested feature, and something we aim to make happen but current limitations on the Open Banking specification for recurring payments prevents us from implementing them just now.
