Just like that, it’s 2025! And the JustGiving team’s not crawling into the new year – we’re already on a full-blown sprint. Today, we’ve got a bunch of new and updated fundraising features to share with you.
Let’s jump into the newest updates built to make you and your supporters’ experience more meaningful, impactful, and fun! (click to jump to each section):
Donate using cryptocurrency on JustGiving
Since Day 1, it’s been our mission to make it possible for people to support charities in the ways they want. And now we’re excited to help charities engage the next generation of donors with cryptocurrency donations on JustGiving!
Your supporters can now use JustGiving to donate to your cause with over 60 cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. And thanks to our partnership with The Giving Block, every crypto donation is instantly converted to cash. This means you never receive or handle cryptocurrency – just your traditional currency like any other donation.
Search, filter, and sort Campaign Pages
It’s officially event fundraising season! And there are huge opportunities coming up for charities this year like London Marathon and London Landmarks Half Marathon. While you’re prepping for events, life’s about to become a little easier.
Now you can search all your Campaign Pages using keywords relating to your campaign’s title and description. From there, you can sort based on date and publish status.
Edit donation details
Donors are the incredible people giving their money to support the charities and causes they believe in.
When they donate to a charity or fundraiser, we prompt them to leave a message of support alongside their donation. But sometimes, the message they write in the moment isn’t the final message they want to leave!
Now, donors can go back and edit their messages, plus their name and donation amount shown, to make sure it’s perfect. They’ll find their Edit Donation link inside their donation receipt email.
People all around the world come to JustGiving to help make good things happen.
But occasionally, we see Fundraising Pages and Team Pages that contain misleading, hurtful, or inappropriate content – content that doesn’t meet our standards.
We’re testing the use of OpenAI’s artificial intelligence tools to help review inappropriate pages and keep JustGiving safe for everyone, and our charities free of illegitimate support.

Print Fundraising Posters for offline promotion
Fundraising Pages are fundraisers’ place to get donations, tell their story, and share the cause they’re passionate about.
Now, fundraisers and their supporters can easily transform their Fundraising Pages into beautiful printed posters!
What’s even better? Their custom poster comes pre-designed with their Fundraising Page’s current details, images, fundraising target, and a QR code to donate to the page.
The new Print option is in the sharing component of every Fundraising Page. From here, people can print right away or download their poster for later.
See Top Donations on Fundraising Pages
In this section, we wrote the word “million” a lot. But we can’t avoid it, as it’s just part of our amazing JustGiving community’s story!
In 2024, people used JustGiving to donate over £584 million to UK charities. As part of this massive number, people made millions of donations to the 1 million+ Fundraising Pages created over the year.
Now, anyone visiting a Fundraising Page can click “Top Donations” to see the page’s highest donation amounts. Want to see even more donations? Just click “Show More” and keep scrolling!
Donors can write more impactful messages with AI Message Enhancer
More than 5,000 fundraisers have already used JustGiving’s AI-powered Story Enhancer to write compelling stories for their pages! It’s helping people save more time, raise more money, and publish their page with confidence.
But we didn’t stop there. Now introducing our AI-powered Message Enhancer: designed to help donors write more impactful messages to the fundraisers they’re supporting!
Donors can use Message Enhancer to create a new message from scratch or enhance a message they’ve started writing. From there, they can select their tone and edit the message to make sure it’s just the right fit.
