Charity Challenge are proud to announce that they have partnered with givestar, a fantastic, forward thinking and dynamic company, as its official fundraising platform.
Simon Albert, Charity Challenge’s founder said “Our participants invest a huge amount of time, effort and energy raising the vital funds for their chosen charity and we felt it was our obligation to ensure they have the best tools to do so.”
givestar is a mobile first service, available online and on an app for mobiles, which not only enables friends and family to donate online, but also allows participants to use their own mobile phones with the Tap to Donate feature, to take payments in person from colleagues, friends and family, by debit or credit card with just a tap. It’s quick and really easy to use.
We believe this will be a game changer for fundraisers and will not only help them to reach more supporters more easily, the statistics show that donations are higher when given in person rather than online. So we hope it will be easier and more effective at helping participants reach their fundraising targets quicker.
Tom Montague, givestar’s Co-Founder said “Partnering with Charity Challenge marks a major milestone for us. For decades, they’ve inspired people to push their limits and, in doing so, have helped generate tens of millions of pounds for charities around the world. We’re proud to bring our technology to such an established and purpose-driven community. Together, we’re ensuring every challenge translates into even greater impact for the causes participants care about”
