Trust & Security

How donations, data, and your entry are kept safe on DrawFunder

DrawFunder takes 0% of donations

Every donation flows straight from the entrant to the charity through the connected fundraising page, with Gift Aid preserved on eligible donations. DrawFunder never touches, holds, or handles the money and deducts nothing — the fundraising provider's own fees may apply.

How donations work

Entrants donate directly on the fundraiser's connected fundraising page — JustGiving, Enthuse or GiveWheel.

DrawFunder takes 0% of donations. Donations are made directly through the fundraiser's fundraising page. The fundraising provider's own fees may apply.

Gift Aid is preserved on eligible UK taxpayer donations — up to 25% extra at no cost.

DrawFunder never stores card details and never holds the money.

DrawFunder does not verify donations with the fundraising provider. The fundraiser checks the donation against their own page and confirms your entry manually.

Anti-Fraud Protection

Donations are processed by well-established fundraising platforms with their own fraud monitoring.

Each entrant is limited to prevent abuse of the draw.

Every entry is recorded in the draw's timestamped audit trail. Entry totals and the audit trail are public; entrants' personal details are not.

Suspicious activity is flagged and investigated.

Refund Policy

Donations made to a charity are managed by the fundraising platform used (JustGiving, Enthuse or GiveWheel) under their own refund terms.

If a draw is cancelled by the organiser before entries close, contact the fundraiser directly to arrange a refund via the fundraising platform.

Data Security

All data transmitted to and from DrawFunder is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher.

Personal data is stored securely and never sold to third parties.

Payment data is handled entirely by the fundraising platform — not stored on DrawFunder servers.

We are GDPR compliant — see our Privacy Policy for your full rights.
