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.

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.
