It's just 2 and a half years since Virgin Money Giving launched and donations have already broken through the 100 million pound barrier! Due to the fact that they are a "not for profit" donations platform, an extra 3.4 million pounds has been donated to charity compared to justgiving.com*. It is for that reason that I've decided to make the switch to Virgin Money Giving for all of my future fundraising activity.
You can read more about it here on the Virgin Money Giving blog. If you would like to make a donation then please use this link.
* If the money raised through Virgin Money Giving since launching in October 2009 was raised through JustGiving instead £3.4m less would have reached charities. This is based on the Gift Aid re-claim rate for Virgin Money Giving and the overall mix of payment types on Virgin Money Giving.
