Ethically increasing tip revenue

Challenge

Challenge

Having raised over £6bn for good causes around the world, JustGiving

is Europe’s biggest fundraising platform. In 2019, JustGiving replaced its 5% platform fee on donations with an optional tip model and saw an instant jump in revenue. However, the most effective designs weren’t transparent enough and left some donors feeling misled and leaving JustGiving’s reputation at risk.

Our goal was to continue increasing the tip ‘take rate’ but in a clearer and more transparent way to help rebuild trust and reduce churn.
