Create a fundraising page If you're new to Wonderful.org and are setting up your first fundraising page for a charity, this quick guide will explain everything you need to know. The great thing about Wonderful is that every donation you receive is passed directly to the charity in full - and instantly.
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.
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.
Supported payment types Whenever someone makes a donation on a Wonderful.org fundraising page, the payment is transferred directly from the donor's bank account to the charity's bank account. This process is known as an instant bank transfer and is made possible by Open Banking.
Tickets, events, raffles HMRC has specific restrictions as to whether Gift Aid can be applied / claimed if the donor is receiving a 'benefit' in return for the donation (such as admission to an event, a raffle ticket, or an item purchased in an auction).
After your fundraising has finished Once you're nearing the end of your fundraising event you might be wondering what happens after your fundraising event date or end date.
How to create a fundraising page Get started by creating a wonderful page for your fundraising efforts. Once you've created your fundraising account at wonderful.org you'll be able to create fundraising pages for any charity listed on the platform.
Posting fundraising page updates Wonderful fundraisers can post regular updates on their fundraising pages via their online accounts at wonderful.org. These updates will appear on the public-facing page so that everyone can see what's been happening.
Replying to donation messages When donors make a donation to a Wonderful fundraising page they are able to include their name and a public message of encouragement for the fundraiser. Both of these are optional.
Distance tracking and Strava Wonderful fundraisers can set distance goals as part of their fundraising challenge. It might be that you're training for a marathon and want your supporters to see your training progress.
