About Us
Our Mission
What does it do?
Our mission is to make charitable giving as easy as possible to have the biggest impact on charitable giving in a generation.
Technological improvements in the charity sector have been inadequate.
At WeGive Ventures, we believe that the charity sector can be revolutionized.
Use your phone as a terminal, log your donations with WeGive, and give money to the causes you care about at this time of need.
The App
What it's all about
With charity shops shut and fundraising events cancelled, some charities are losing hundreds of millions of pounds as a result of the COVID-19 crisis as demands placed upon them soar.
The WeGive App makes it easier for donors to find causes to donate to, for charities to make potential supporters aware of their presence, and allows smaller charities to engage donors and raise awareness for important causes.

Our Promise
WeGive is a social enterprise aiming to revolutionise the charitable giving sector using first-class technology.
For Charity
FlashMob Fundraising
Fundraising couldn’t be simpler with WeGive. Just go to your charity page, make a donation (our research shows this acts as a trigger for others to do likewise) then share this Act of Giving with any and all of your social media and email contacts. Urge them to give right now with a short message saying what the funds are for.
The results can be surprising...and fast. Encourage your supporters to forward onto their friends and you can reach thousands of people in hours, particularly if someone with a stack of followers gets involved.
For Charity
QR Code Fundraising
We’ve all become used to QR Codes over the last year. We offer this option if you have a physical location you want to use to raise funds.
Supporters scan with their phone cameras and are taken straight to your donation page. Rather than registering for ‘test & trace’ they can be supporting your cause - a great use of technology to give your charity a boost.

NB: WeGive uses Charities Trust to process your donations and to reclaim Gift Aid if eligible. Donors do not need to register with WeGive to donate although we do ask for some details to reclaim this Gift Aid. If donors register later, we will remember these donations as part of their tax record.
