Give A Little

What Give A Little does

Give A Little is a London-based, bootstrapped SaaS company (operating as Caution Your Blast Ltd, company number 07203051) that provides what it describes as the world's only dedicated point of donation software platform, enabling charities, churches, schools and community organisations to accept contactless, Chip+PIN, QR-code and online donations. The platform integrates with payment processors Stripe and SumUp and runs on third-party hardware from Payaz and CollecTin, as well as any NFC-equipped Android device via a Google Play app, and on iPhone and Android smartphones through the new Champion App using Tap to Pay. Backed by ISO 27001/9001, Cyber Essentials Plus, GDPR and PCI-compliant processing, the platform supports Gift Aid automation, multi-language donor experiences (16 languages), multi-site group licensing and offline donation capture across 48 countries.

The company's revenue model combines three streams: a freemium software subscription (Basic free for charities raising under £1,000 annually; Premium tier priced on a rolling 12-month fundraising basis with no contract tie-in and a one-month free trial), a 1.58% transaction fee on UK Stripe donations, and a 50p daily Tap to Pay usage fee per active device. Go-to-market is product-led through website sign-up and app store distribution, supplemented by channel partnerships (notably Parish Buying for the Church of England, which has driven 3,000+ parish onboardings), community-led word-of-mouth among a network of more than 10,500 charities, and presence at sector events including the Chartered Institute of Fundraising conferences.

Since its 2019 launch the platform has processed over 8.68 million donations and over £100m for good causes, with a customer base spanning large national charities (Cancer Research UK, ZSL, Oxfam Scotland), religious organisations, NHS-affiliated charities, hospices, heritage sites, schools and grassroots community groups. The team remains small (11-50 employees) and the company has not disclosed external institutional funding, indicating organic, capital-efficient growth.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Funraise: Funraise is a nonprofit fundraising platform providing online donation forms, CRM, and event management for mid-market and enterprise nonprofits. Comparable as a vertical SaaS donor management and donation platform competing for the same charity customers.
• Donorbox: Donorbox is a US-headquartered online donation platform for nonprofits offering recurring giving, peer-to-peer campaigns, and event ticketing. It competes directly with Give A Little in the donation-software-for-charities category, though Donorbox is more focused on online/web donations and the US market.
• Givebutter: Givebutter is a modern fundraising platform for nonprofits offering online donations, events, auctions, and peer-to-peer campaigns with a freemium pricing model. Comparable to Give A Little as a tech-forward donation platform serving SMB and mid-market charities.

Broad incumbents

• GoFundMe Charity: GoFundMe Charity offers online donation platforms for nonprofits at scale. Comparable as a broad incumbent in online giving with significant consumer brand recognition and a different model (crowdfunding-led) versus Give A Little's point-of-donation focus.
• Stripe (Stripe Checkout / Stripe Terminal): Stripe is Give A Little's primary payment processor and a potential competitive threat via Stripe Checkout (online donations) and Stripe Terminal (contactless in-person). Comparable as the underlying payments infrastructure that could natively absorb donation workflows.
• Bonterra (Network for Good): Bonterra, owner of Network for Good, offers donation processing, CRM, and fundraising software to nonprofits. Comparable as a broader fundraising and grantmaking software suite that overlaps with Give A Little's donation collection functionality.
• SumUp: SumUp is Give A Little's secondary payment processor offering card readers and contactless payment products globally. Comparable as both a partner and a competitive threat — SumUp could natively offer donation-specific features to its existing SMB customer base.
• JustGiving: JustGiving is one of the UK's largest online fundraising platforms, owned by Blackbaud, serving millions of individual fundraisers and charities. It is a broad incumbent in the same space as Give A Little but focuses on peer-to-peer online fundraising rather than the dedicated point-of-donation (contactless/kiosk) niche.
• PayPal Giving Fund: PayPal Giving Fund is a major online donation platform distributing funds to verified charities through PayPal's consumer network. Comparable as an incumbent online donation channel with similar charity verification requirements to Give A Little.

Regional players

• iATS Payments: iATS Payments is a payment processor specialising in nonprofit donations across North America. Comparable as a niche payment processor competing for nonprofit donation volume with similar integrations to multiple giving platforms.
