…about Givto

A. How does Givto work?

Givto is run by a registered charity called the Better Giving Partnership. When you give using Givto you are donating to the Better Giving Partnership. As a registered charity, we claim Gift Aid from the government on your donation if you are eligible. This means that your chosen charity doesn’t have to. We then pass your donation and Gift Aid on to your chosen charity.

We take a small fee from your donation and Gift Aid. This helps us to cover the costs involved in running Givto. As a charity we are not interested in profit and we do everything we can to keep the fee as low as possible.

The Better Giving Partnership trustees oversee everything the charity does. Legally, they have the final say on how all donations are spent. But the only time we wouldn’t pass your donation on to your chosen charity is if they ceased trading. If this happened we would let you know and ask you to choose another charity.
