What is TheGivngMachine ?
TheGivingMachine.co.uk is a not for profit organisation that provides an online shopping website that turns online sales commissions into cash donations on behalf of shoppers at no extra cost. Shoppers become Givers for free.
Givers simply join, select the charities and schools they want to support and then shop online from one of the participating shops on TheGivingMachine. Commissions are received by TheGivingMachine who convert them into donations.

What is a Giving Group?
Organisations have asked how they and their people can join TheGivingMachine as a community. In partnership with the first few, we have developed a service called Giving Groups. Initially aimed at the larger organisation with more than 1,000 members, it enables people who join the group to shop and give for free to the UK charities and schools of their choice as normal but also to see the great benefit that all the group’s members make together.
If your organisation is interested in joining, please get in touch:

How does TheGivingMachine cover its costs?
Although TheGivingMachine is a not for profit organisation, it has costs to meet for running te website and distributing donations to the participating charities and schools.
TheGivingMachine only retains 25% of the commissions generated and converts the remaining 75% into donations to the Giver’s chosen beneficiaries. The donation % shown next to each retailer on the shopping pages are what beneficiaries will actually receive.

Why are we doing this?
As a team, we have been successful in our own spheres of business. However, we also wanted to build a company will benefit our communities and provide them an additional and free source of donations. See more details in the About Us page.
