Since 2004, Just Giving online fundraising pages have helped the SOS Africa Charity raise over £600,000 for our children’s education projects in South Africa. Just Giving pages make online fundraising simple; SOS Africa fundraisers set up Just Giving online fundraising pages and raise funds by participating in a whole range of fundraising events from bake sales to Everest Climbs and Ultra Marathons. By simplifying the fundraising process, Just Giving online fundraising pages eliminate the need for cash sponsorship collection; fundraisers are able to focus solely on organising their fundraising events and the impact their philanthropic endeavours will have upon their chosen charities.
What is Just Giving?
Just Giving is the world’s most trusted platform for online fundraising and giving. Just Giving helps people raise money for charities and people they care for the most. Just Giving was founded in the UK in 2000 with the aim of enabling charities to receive donations online from anywhere in the world. 23 years later Just Giving has enabled its users to raise over £5 billion for good causes in almost every country across the globe.
Just Giving Online Fundraising Pages
SOS Africa also uses Just Giving Online Fundraising Pages to facilitate annual fundraising events. Since 2011, Just Giving online fundraising pages have enabled our UK based charity to host large scale fundraising events from charity abseils and zip wire to prison lock-ins and fire walk fundraising events. During the COVID19 Pandemic Just Giving Online fundraising pages enabled us to host a Hermitcraft Livestream Online Fundraising event which raised over £100,000 for the children sponsored by SOS Africa in South Africa.
Just Giving online fundraising platforms make organising large-scale SOS Africa Charity events very straightforward – by eliminating the need for cash sponsorship and enabling our fundraisers and their supporters to track the progress of the online fundraising before, during and after the event. SOS Africa’s 2023 annual fundraising event is a sponsored charity abseil from King Alfred’s Tower in the UK. You can view the Just Giving Event Team Fundraising Page here.
