Whizz-Kidz chooses JustGiving as preferred online giving partner

Howard Lake | 12 October 2011 | News

Children’s charity Whizz-Kidz has appointed JustGiving as its preferred partner for online fundraising as part of its efforts to expand its digital fundraising next year. JustGiving was selected in a competitive tender process in which Whizz-Kidz compared the range of fundraising products available.
Tools available to Whizz-Kidz include the free mobile giving service, JustTextGiving by Vodafone, and instant JustGiving page creation for entrants to the Neon Night Walk event using the JustGiving API. Supporters will also have access to JustGiving’s range of iPhone and Android applications, and advanced integration with social media platforms to boost their fundraising efforts.
Whizz-Kidz Director of Fundraising Graham Kelly said: “Having analysed our data, we decided that, despite JustGiving’s fees remaining at their current level, we should promote the service to our supporters as our preferred supplier to deliver greater returns.”
Gemma Randall, Head of Charity Partnerships at JustGiving, said: “Working with JustGiving, Whizz-Kidz will now have access to a tailored suite of JustGiving tools, allowing them to improve fundraising efficiency, reduce administration costs and harness the power of social media to raise substantially more money over the next year.”
