Event management comes to JustGiving1

IT | Kirsty Weakley | 31 Jul 2012

JustGiving has partnered with Active Network to launch an event registration and fundraising tool for it users.

Barnardo’s, Brighton Marathon, KPMG and Maggie’s Centres are among those that have been involved in the initial pilot of the new tool, which has now been opened up for others to use. The full launch is planned for this autumn, by which time the organisations expect to have added more features.

With the new tool participants are able sign up to events and begin fundraising straight away. Event organisers will be able to manage event registration and marketing in one place, and there will be the option to automatically create fundraising pages for individuals when they sign up to an event.

The Brighton Marathon’s event director Tom Naylor said the “tool has been very beneficial” since the organisation started using it for the 2013 marathon, and that his organisation was “already seeing a considerable increase in the number of fundraising pages created compared to last year.”

Zarine Kharas, chief executive of JustGiving said the development was in response to demand from charities, he said: “When we ask charities what they’s like to be able to do using JustGiving, online event registration ranks as one of the top requests.”

It is free to set up an account. Active Network then charges £1 per registrant plus a 6.5 per cent transactional fee and JustGiving’s standard charge of £15 per month plus a 5 per cent fee on donations applies.
