Making Donations

Once your fundraiser is complete, you’ll likely have all of the money raised ready to be donated:

1. First, check any of the expenses have been paid out, if the event was marketed as 'all profits will be donated to xyz charity'

   • For example, If you held a bake sale, has the cake maker been reimbursed or the invoice for cupcakes been paid out of the fundraising yet?

2. Next, total all of the funds raised for your event. 

   • Make sure all of the items you're adding up in your Fundraising account are for your fundraiser specifically. Is everything there, or does something look like it's missing? Money from JustGiving isn't received instantly, so these items may not be showing straight away.

3. Once you're happy that your Fundraising account reflects all of the funds raised, complete a Purchase Request to make the charity donation.

4. Finally, celebrate your fundraising achievements and share how much you've raised!

We would always encourage you to utilise your College Fundraising accounts for your fundraising as our finance team can make all the donations and everything is handled safely. However, you are able to set up a donation page where funds will go directly to a charity. You just need to be sure that:

• It is reputable and genuine

• The money is going directly to the charity (and not to a crowdfunder)

• Only profit is donated

• That you use this form to record your fundraising.
