Free To Use Platform

For Individuals, this is a free to use platform, that allows people to give to any listed good cause in the 5 ways of giving. All activity is recorded and able to be retrieved to remind you of the support you have given.

The live marketplace is able to show causes in your area, but if you have other charities that you want to support that are not listed, simply point them at the platform and they can join for free. If you or they need help, we have a support team to assist.

What Investors in Community Giving does with its funds

One of the main aims of our platform is to make sure charities and community groups receive the full face value of all donations from individuals and businesses, without the charges and deductions made by some other charity giving websites.

Rather than pass on these necessary financial charges and make deductions from donations, we cover these costs via the funding received by Investors in Community Giving.

Any surplus funds received from Investors in Community Giving are awarded as grants to charities and community groups (including schools and not for profit organisations) listed on the Investors in Community platform by our board of trustees.

As much of this funding is received via Gift Aid, we try to make sure that, wherever possible, these grants are made within the genre of the original donation. That means that if the original donation was made to a cancer related charity, then the relevant grant (should surplus funds be available) will be awarded to a cancer charity.

How Investors in Community Giving receives funds

Our charity receives its income from one of three sources:

01

Via donations from the Citercom Limited company (13770754) T/A: Investors In Community, which charges businesses an annual subscription fee to use its platform.

02

Via Gift Aid from qualifying individuals who donate.

03

Via external grants and donations.

Why we think this makes us different

Some charities tell us that our model of zero charges/deductions and individual grants means that they receive a greater amount than they do via other platforms. Investors in Community Giving has been designed as a fair way to help the whole charity sector.

The Investors in Community Giving charity has no internal overheads, except for covering the financial charges of transactions. No money is ever passed to any profit-making business, retaining 100% of the money that you donate, for the direct benefit of the charity sector.

The trustees would be happy to answer any additional questions you may have about Investors in Community Giving. You can contact them by emailing trustees@investorsincommunity.org
