Online fundraising platforms raise significant funds for charitable causes, but need to ensure high standards of transparency so that members of the public can make informed choices about their giving.

The Fundraising Regulator and the Charity Commission are working with online fundraising platforms to set high standards, improve transparency and provide guidance. The platforms have confirmed their commitment to transparency on fees and charges. There are currently no plans to limit the fees charged.
