The millions of hard-working > fundraisers deserve platforms that put their goals – to raise as much money for > their chosen cause – first. > “For too long fundraising platforms have profited from people’s goodwill. We believe > this model is outdated. That’s why we’ve launched a totally fee free fundraising > platform and will roll out rewards- based pledging and match funding over the > next six months.” Andrew Moore, Director of Private Fundraising and Communications, [Halo Trust](https://www.halotrust.org/), which recently raised £9.740 on the platform, to be match funded by DfID, said: > “Fundraising platforms usually cost money which reduces the amount we receive > to save and rebuild lives by clearing landmines and explosives. Crowdfunder’s > new fee free fundraising feature will ensure every penny raised by our supporters > goes directly to our lifesaving work.” To date, over £72m has been raised on Crowdfunder by thousands of businesses, social enterprises, charities, community groups and individuals across the UK.  * **[Five tweets for fundraisers on 10 February 2020](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/02/10/five-tweets-for-fundraisers-on-10-february-2020/)**( 10 February 2020) * **[Fundraising Institute of New Zealand launches emergency international matched funds appeal](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/08/11/fundraising-institute-new-zealand-launches-emergency-international-matched-funds-appeal/)**( 11 August 2020) * **[Famous faces to represent small charities at Spring Funder crowdfunding event](https://fundraising.co.uk/2021/03/19/famous-faces-represent-small-charities-spring-funder-crowdfunding-event/)**( 19 March 2021) ![Loading](https://fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/page-views-count/ajax-loader- 2x.gif)
