Donation & Disbursement Policy

GiveWheel's Donation Policy

Donation Disbursement

All donations made through GiveWheel are direct payments to GiveWheel, a for-profit company, and we pledge donations to one or more charities as specified by the fundraiser or donor. We pledge to deliver funds to the recipient charities without taking any deductions except for those outlined on our fees page.


Note, as set out on our 'How GiveWheel Operates' page, GiveWheel operates two distinct ways for charities to receive money. Those that fall under the 'donor assist' service are denoted by the symbol , on the charity's page.

The schedule of which donations are granted to non-profits depends on whether the organisation has signed up to a platform membership, or whether they are the recipient of donor assist.


  1. GiveWheel for Charities (Platform Membership)

    Charities on GiveWheel will hold a platform account and login details. They are able to connect a Stripe account, or provide bank details for payment. In this case, all charities are paid out on a rolling monthly basis, where there are funds pledged to the charity in excess of the £50 payout threshold. This means that funds raised through a fundraising event may be paid out prior to the fundraising event ending.

  2. GiveWheel Donor Assist

    We provide a service to assist donors with their giving, by reference to the public domain information for recipient parties. In this case, no activity is performed by the recipient, and money can be received passively by a charity or non-profit. For donations under donor assist, GiveWheel will ensure disbursement within 30 days where payment details are held. For all other charities, GiveWheel will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure disbursement of funds within 365 days. In rare instances where funds cannot be granted to the recommended charity - such as when the cause is uncontactable, is no longer operating or fails to meet due diligence requirements - GiveWheel reserves the right to reallocate funds to an alternative charity with a similar charitable mission.
