Splitting money between charities?

Former Member

If do an event that isn't charity-specific, is it possible (and how?) to split the money between more than one charity? Am just thinking that I may get more sponsors that way.

I am hoping to do it all online - much easier that way.

Former Member

To do that online you'd have to have two separate pages.

That's what I thought too. I've spoke to one of the charity members who has said he'll see if he can find me some information about this.

I have just received an email from the other charity, who said:

Hi Sophie,

Thank you so much for choosing to support both RNIB as well as Nystagmus
Network - over half of RNIB's income comes from individual fundraisers
like yourself, so we really do value your support.
We would like to do all that we can to help support your fundraising and
preparations for your event.

As for setting up justgiving page that splits funds for your preferred
charities, unfortunately this is not currently possible. For more
information on this as well as how to set up individual fundraising
pages and connect it to a team page, please click on the following link:

n-my-just-giving-page-to-sponsor

Alternatively, you could also look into setting up your fundraising page
at Virgin Money Giving who currently do give the option of setting up
one fundraising page for up to 5 charities as well as gives you the
option on how you would like to split your sponsorship.

Once again, thank you for choosing to support RNIB. Every day another
100 people will start to lose their sight. With your support, we can
help rebuild lives devastated by sight loss.

i dont think it will encourage people to sponsor you more tbh.

Former Member

I'm not sure it will, either, but if there are two charities you want to raise funds for it's fine.

Or you could do two runs

There doesn't seem to be that many runs like that in Plymouth. And no, I'm not going to do the half marathon...

Former Member

why does it have to be in plymouth?

Its pretty normal to travel for a race.
