Justgiving for Sports Clubs

Sport England, JustGiving and CCPR have joined forces to make it easier for clubs to raise money and claim Gift Aid online, enabling volunteers to spend more time on sport and less time on administration.

JustGiving, the largest online fundraising community in the world, is now able to offer the same tools to Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) that it provides to the biggest charities in the UK.

JustGiving has dropped its subscription fees – worth £180 per year - for all CASCs, meaning that your club can join JustGiving today, and start fundraising for all the important things you help raise money for, like a new set of nets or a changing room revamp.

There are many benefits to using JustGiving to raise money for your club online

• You can raise money more easily, quickly and efficiently
• JustGiving makes claiming Gift Aid easy, as they do all the administration for you, saving you time and money. Through Gift Aid, the Government will give you up to 28p for every £1 you raise
• Payments through JustGiving are weekly, so you know when they are coming, and can plan ahead
• Real people are on hand to give you and your supporters help and advice 7 days a week.

Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs ( HMRC ) has estimated that only 10% of CASCs are utilising their ability to claim Gift Aid, meaning that grassroots clubs are missing out on vital funds that they are fully entitled to claim. JustGiving makes claiming this money easy.

Not a CASC?

There are many thousands of sports clubs in the UK that could benefit from joining the CASC scheme.

Both property and non-property-owning clubs can gain substantial benefits from the CASC scheme by receiving 80% mandatory business rate relief and the ability to reclaim up to £28 in Gift Aid for every £100 donated.

CCPR provides advice and support for clubs considering CASC registrations and they are supporting our partnership with JustGiving.
