Donations made through GiveWheel are transferred to the registered charities according to the split specified by the donor/fundraiser.

Charities can choose whether to receive donations via our non-profit disbursement partner Charities Trust (charity no. 327489) or directly via Stripe.

Charities Trust provide due diligence and secure disbursement services to over 20,000 UK charities. As well as the disbursement of donations, Charities Trust provide an automated Gift Aid reclamation service and reclaimed Gift Aid is transferred to recipient charities in a separate monthly payment once received from HMRC.

For charities receiving donations via Stripe, Gift Aid may be reclaimed directly from HMRC by the charity themselves with exportable reports available through the GiveWheel charity dashboard. For charities that receive donations either via Charities Trust or Stripe, donations are disbursed monthly, even whilst fundraising events are ongoing. For this reason, it may not be possible to change the allocation on a fundraising page once donations have been received.

For charities that receive donations via Charities Trust or Stripe, donations are disbursed monthly on the 1st, even whilst fundraising events are ongoing. It may take 10 working days for funds to reach recipient charities when disbursed via Charities Trust. Disbursements via Stripe will usually be received immediately, but may take up to three working days.

In exceptional cases, GiveWheel may facilitate fundraising for charities where they are not registered with Charities Trust/Stripe or are a non-UK charity. In this case, disbursement may take place after the event has closed, and our team will reach out to the charity directly to process payment.
