Givealittle online fundraising

Have you set yourself an exciting fundraising challenge? Setting up a page with givealittle makes fundraising from friends, family and colleagues really easy.

Using givealittle means people can donate to you online via their credit card. For those who don’t live close to you, or have busy lives, this makes it very convenient. If people donate over $5 to your fundraising, they can receive a receipt which allows them to claim a tax refund too.

An online fundraising page also allows you to track your progress towards your fundraising goal. Anyone who visits your page can see how you are getting on and it may encourage them to give more to help you reach your target.

We have our own Coastguard page on givealittle where you can make a one-off donation or set up your fundraising page.
