About us
JustGiving is the world’s fundraising platform for good. Our mission is to ensure no great cause goes unfunded. We do this by connecting the world's causes with people who care.
Founded in London in 2001 by Zarine Kharas & Anne-Marie Huby, so far we've helped people in 164 countries raise over $3.3 billion for causes they care about.
Tech for good
We think of ourselves as the R&D team for every cause in the world. Everything we do is focused on building cutting edge technology that helps connect causes to people who care. Many of the organisations we work with couldn’t afford to do this on their own. We keep testing, learning and improving all the time.
Doing the right thing
On top of that, we believe it’s not just what you do but how you do it. Our focus is not just on driving profit but on creating a great product, doing what’s right for our customers, and making JustGiving an awesome place to work. That's why 22 million people use JustGiving to show they care.
