What DONATIS GIVING LIMITED does

Donatis Giving Limited is a UK private company, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Exeter, Devon, that provides software and payment services for managing charitable donations, with a primary focus on the funeral sector. Its core product is the InMemory platform, a donation management system that enables funeral directors to handle cash, cheque, and online donations in any currency via their own charities account, with real-time fundraising visibility, Gift Aid reporting, and automatic synchronisation with major CRM and accounting packages. A version 2.0 release in 2019 added an API that allows corporate and charity customers to embed charitable donations into their own websites, intranets, Facebook pages, or apps.

The company monetises through a combination of transaction-based fees on donations (1.3% plus 20p card processing fee and a 4% administration fee), a 30p per-transaction charity payout fee, fixed monthly or per-page subscription fees for the fundraising platform with 25-100% discounts for registered charities, and professional services for deployment and ongoing management. Donations made via Donatis fundraising pages themselves incur no deductions from donor funds, and charities pay no subscription to receive funds. Payment processing and disbursement to nominated charities are handled through Donatis Payments Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary, in partnership with Unipaas, an FCA Authorised Payment Institution providing PCI DSS Level 1 compliance under Payment Services Regulations 2017.

Donatis serves funeral directors (from small family businesses to large multi-branch groups), corporate customers wanting employee fundraising or embedded donation flows, UK-registered charities receiving disbursements, and individual donors making in-memoriam gifts. Its flagship channel relationship is with Reach plc, parent of funeral-notices.co.uk (the UK's largest online obituary publisher), where Donatis powers online donations for the platform. The company operates with 1-10 employees, has no disclosed funding, and has cumulatively processed over 100,000 donations worth nearly £5m since 2013.

2. Fundraising platform subscription: Fixed fees for using the fundraising platform charged either monthly or per fundraising page. Discounts of 25% to 100% are provided to all registered charities. No subscription fee is charged to charities for receiving funds.
3. Charity payout processing: A flat processing fee of 30p per transaction is charged for each charity payout. Payments are made either immediately after a collection closes or monthly, aggregating all closed collections.

Core offering

Donatis develops and operates a software platform that helps businesses and charities manage charitable donation programmes end-to-end. Its flagship InMemory product enables funeral directors to collect and reconcile cash, cheque and online donations via their own charity account, while the broader Donatis platform provides embeddable fundraising pages, PCI-compliant payment processing and BACS-based disbursement to beneficiaries.

Product overview

The platform was founded in 2011 and released its first product in 2013, with a significant API expansion in 2019 to serve corporate and charity sectors. Donatis Powers online donations for funeral-notices.co.uk (UK's largest publisher of online obituaries) and offers transparent pricing with no deductions from donated funds.

Direct peers

• Enthuse: UK fundraising and donation platform serving charities, events, and individuals with branded pages, payment processing, and CRM integrations. Closely comparable in product scope, target market, and the 'no deductions from donations' positioning.
• MuchLoved: UK memorial tribute websites platform used by funeral directors and bereaved families to create online remembrance pages, often with linked fundraising. Directly comparable to the InMemory sub-brand for funeral directors managing memorial donations.
• Give as You Live: UK donation platform enabling consumers and businesses to raise funds for charities through online shopping, workplace giving, and fundraising pages. Comparable in targeting UK charities and corporates with embeddable donation flows.
• JustGiving: UK-headquartered online donation platform for charities and individuals, offering branded fundraising pages, Gift Aid processing, and embedded donation flows. Direct competitor across both funeral/memorial giving and the broader corporate-charity donation market Donatis targets.
• iRaiser: European fundraising and donation platform offering white-label donation pages, peer-to-peer fundraising, and payment processing for charities. Comparable in product surface and in serving both charity and corporate giving use cases via API.

Emerging players

• Donorbox: US-headquartered donation platform offering recurring giving, branded forms, and embeddable widgets for nonprofits. Comparable as an API-first, low-fee donation SaaS competing for the same charity and corporate CSR customers.
• Funraise: US nonprofit fundraising platform providing donation forms, CRM, and event tools with embeddable widgets. Comparable as a modern donation SaaS targeting charities and corporates, though focused on the US market.

Broad incumbents

• Blackbaud: Large US-listed provider of fundraising, CRM, and financial software for nonprofits, owner of JustGiving. Overlaps with Donatis at the donation processing layer but serves a much broader enterprise nonprofit portfolio rather than specialising in funeral/memorial giving.
• Stripe Giving: Embedded donation product from Stripe enabling platforms and charities to accept payments with built-in compliance. Comparable as infrastructure for embedded giving flows that corporates and platforms can drop into their products.
• PayPal Giving Fund: PayPal-operated donation programme enabling online donations to UK and US charities through partner platforms. Comparable as a large incumbent donation distribution channel that competes for the same charity and corporate giving flows.
