It’s important you can source what’s needed for your online regular giving programme without being tied up with add-ons

For instance, do you need an online regular giving platform but not the Direct Debit processing because you manage this in-house?

We’ve noticed a good deal of sector commentary recently about difficulties in finding online donations platforms that don’t come connected to payment processing services as a prerequisite. It seems this is becoming more and more prevalent, with some charities telling us that another online Direct Debit platform will shortly be consolidating its services in this way, so they will no longer be able to use their giving pages if they want to continue processing their own Direct Debits.

If your charity finds it’s in this position, we can help.

At CommittedGiving we believe in supporting charities with the services they really need. Our ethos is all about giving you the choice and flexibility to maximise your fundraising, while ensuring you enjoy the level of control you choose.

Online Direct Debits with control and flexibility

Our CGDonate platform can be used for one-off and/or regular payments via online Direct Debit. We can work with you to design and create a fully charity branded regular giving page that allows you to accept Paperless Direct Debits via your website.

Whilst we can also process your Direct Debits for you, we are aware that many charities still process in-house and we’re very happy to support that too. Our CGDonate eDirect Debit pages give you full access to download and import donations information directly into your CRM system for Direct Debit setup and on-going collections. And we’ll support you all the way, with guidance and advice on how to integrate and get the most from your pages.

Why us?

For 20 years charities have been trusting us to create the highest quality online donation pages and to manage their payments. This means we’ve pioneered online giving, we have a wealth of knowledge and experience behind the services we offer, finely tuned so you are assisted in your fundraising both efficiently and effectively.

We’re happy to talk you through how we help others and demonstrate a host of live examples from the small, medium and large charities we work with, so you can see what we could achieve for you.

Don’t delay – let us help you today

If you need an alternative giving platform and need to switch quickly, let us help you make that switch with no interruption to your regular payments.

We can work with your existing page design to get you up and running. And later review with you how this might be changed or improved to help you sign up more regular supporters through the best possible online donation experience.
