JustGiving

Once you've registered it's time to set-up your JustGiving page at www.justgiving.com/universityofedinburgh - set an ambitious fundraising target and use ‘your story’ to tell your donors why you are raising money. Add your photo to your JustGiving page, so your supporters know they’re at the right page!

Please click to opt-in to receive communications from your chosen charity (that’s us) when you set up your Just Giving page. This will allow us to provide advice and support for your fundraising activity, let you know how your donation is helping, and invite you to events.

When creating your page, JustGiving will automatically generate a unique URL – it’s worthwhile changing this to something easier to remember. We can create a QR code for your page that you can use to promote your fundraising.

As well as our generic JustGiving, we also have some area specific JustGiving pages, visit our 'Getting Started' page for more information, or get in touch.
