New from Localgiving: Fundraise for free, just in time for Christmas!

Getting started with online fundraising can feel like a big step. You might wonder whether it'll be worth the cost, whether it's the right platform for you, or whether you have time to set it all up.  Especially when you are a small charity or CIC and there’s already a lot of pressure on for efficient and effective fundraising. That's why we've created something new.

Introducing the Starter Tier: a free way to join Localgiving and start raising money for your cause. It's the first time we've ever offered anything like it, and it's designed to remove every barrier between you and your first online donation.

Free to join, free to fundraise

The Starter Tier costs nothing to join, and you won't be asked for a credit card. Sign up, create your fundraising page and start taking donations quickly.

Better still, it stays completely free until you raise £1,000 or reach six months on Localgiving, whichever comes first. That's real breathing space to launch your page, share it with supporters and see what Localgiving can do for you, without paying a penny.

Get ready for the Christmas giving season

Christmas is one of the busiest times of year for charitable giving, as people look for ways to support the causes and communities they care about. 30% of all donations come in December. If your fundraising page is live before the rush begins, you'll be ready to welcome those donations from day one.

Because the Starter Tier is quick to set up and free to join, there's no reason to wait. Sign up now and your page can be up and running well before the festive season peaks.

Try Localgiving with no strings attached

The Starter Tier is built for organisations that want to find out what online fundraising can do for them before making any commitment. Whether you're new to fundraising online or just new to Localgiving, it lets you:

• Get started quickly, with no upfront cost
• Get a feel for how Localgiving works
• Raise real money for your cause from the very start
• Do it all without any commitment

There's nothing to lose, and plenty to gain for the cause you care about and the community you support. 

Ready to grow? Upgrading is easy

The Starter Tier is all about getting you up and running. It doesn't include our donation boosters like Gift Aid, Monthly Donations and greater access to our AI Grant toolkit, which help you get more from every gift and build steady, regular support.

When you're ready to unlock them, upgrading to our Fundraising Tier is quick and easy. Start small, grow at your own pace, and move up whenever it suits you.
