For charities

Your shop, donations and Gift Aid in one place

Badger Commerce runs your whole charity website under your own name: news and pages, donations, regular gifts and a shop. It claims Gift Aid from HMRC for you every month, and we set it all up and look after it.

Everything a fundraising team needs, together

No fundraising platform taking a cut, no separate shop, no spreadsheet of Gift Aid declarations.

Donations on your own site

One-off donations of any amount, alongside the shop and on your own domain, with your branding and your supporter relationship.

Gift Aid, claimed for you

Declarations collected at checkout or in the supporter's account, then claimed from HMRC automatically every month, including back-dated declarations.

Refunds handled properly

Refund a donation and it leaves the next claim, or is flagged for repayment to HMRC if it has already been claimed.

Regular giving

Monthly supporters on a common billing day. Every paid month creates a Gift Aid-eligible donation, and failed payments are chased for you.

Supporter fundraisers

Supporters create their own fundraiser page with a target, story and updates. You approve it, and everyone sees progress towards the target.

A shop too

Sell merchandise, raffle tickets or "fund the kit" items from the same catalogue, and see shop, donation and subscription income separately.

New: donation links

A donation link that works everywhere

Turn one link into a QR code and put it on your van, your bucket or your stall. Supporters scan it and land on checkout with the amount set and Gift Aid on the same page.

No shop or basket to get through first.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on the phones that have them.

Each link tagged with where it was used.

Print-ready QR codes from Badger Links, which you can repoint after printing.

Supporter fundraisers

Let supporters raise money for you

Supporters start their own page for a run, a bake sale or a birthday. You approve it, it lives on your site, and Gift Aid on their donations comes to you.

Progress against a target, updates and photos on every page.

Milestone emails at 25%, 50% and 75%, and a personal thank-you to each donor.

Every page and photo approved by you before it goes live.

Proven in the field

Built with UK mountain rescue teams

Badger's charity features were developed with volunteer mountain rescue teams who wanted their own website to raise money, not a third-party page. Derby Mountain Rescue Team and the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation both raise money through their Badger sites.

Your new site, set up for you

Everyone on the team is a volunteer, so we do the heavy lifting. You don't get handed an empty site and left to it. A one-off £500 setup (plus VAT) covers all of this, and your site is ready to run within a week.

We build it with you

Your name, your branding and your own content, with donations, monthly supporters and a shop set up and ready to go.

Your domain, moved over

We point your existing web address at the new site, connect your Stripe account and look after the technical setup. After that we host, update, security-patch and monitor it.

HMRC Gift Aid, connected

We walk you through registering for HMRC's online Gift Aid, then connect it so claims go off automatically every month.

Then it's the Charity plan: £15 a month + VAT (£18) for your whole website. Card payments cost about 3% + 30p each in total: Stripe's own 1.5% + 20p in your own Stripe account, plus our 1.5% + 10p including VAT. We take nothing from Gift Aid, so a £10 donation with Gift Aid is still worth about £11.90 to you.

See a charity site working

Hedgerow Wildlife Hospital is a fictional charity on the Badger platform: donations with Gift Aid, supporter fundraisers, adoptions and a shop. Have a look around; checkout runs in test mode.

Collecting in person?

Badger POS, now in pilot, takes contactless donations on an iPhone at events and records Gift Aid declarations on the spot, into the same system as your online giving.

What it costs

One plan for charities. £15 a month + VAT (£18) covers your whole website: pages, news, blog, shop and donations. We host it, keep it updated and security-patched, and have it pen-tested, so it replaces whatever you pay someone to look after a WordPress site.

Card payments cost about 3% + 30p each in total: Stripe's own 1.5% + 20p, in your own Stripe account, plus our 1.5% + 10p including VAT. We take nothing from Gift Aid. You can apply to Stripe for its charity rate, and we can help with that.

Set-up is £500 + VAT, one-off, and we do all of it for you. Prefer to pay yearly? £144 + VAT. We give at least 3 months' notice of any price change.

Is it worth it for a small charity?

If you raise less than about £100 a month online and someone already looks after your website for free, a free giving page may suit you better for now. But this isn't only a donations page. It's your whole website, kept up to date and secure. Once monthly supporters and Gift Aid add up, it pays for itself. Ask us and we'll tell you honestly which side of the line you're on.
