Who is Chuffed?

Chuffed is one of the global leading crowdfunding platforms for social causes, ranging from environmental, animal welfare and international development causes to social welfare and projects supporting refugees across the world. We're a purpose-led company that's transforming how people think about charities around the world. We're making the face of charity awesome, bringing to life exciting projects that people want to be part of.

In contrast to many other charity providers and fundraising platforms, we do not charge any commissions or fees to campaigners. This way 100% of funds raised can go to support projects. Instead, we rely wholly on the kindness of donors to cover online transaction fees and include an optional donation to support our platform. Lucky for us, turns out they do!

Since launching in October 2013, we've raised over $13M / £9M for close to 5,000 projects in 20 countries, and this is only the start.

Everyone on team Chuffed.org deeply cares about the causes we support. We're a genuine bunch and look forward to having you on board!
