Give A Little

Give A Little is donation software for eligible charitable organisations that want online campaigns and in-person collection in one service. It is a strong fit for fundraisers combining QR-linked appeals with contactless giving; the main caveat is that processor and usage fees sit outside the subscription.

Overview

Campaigns can include images or video, one-time or recurring monthly gifts, receipts, tax benefits and donor marketing contact options. QR codes lead donors from an event or printed appeal to an online giving page, extending a campaign beyond a single collection method.

Eligibility narrows its audience. Not-for-profits and organisations carrying out auditable charitable fundraising must provide proof of charitable status or purpose, while individuals may fundraise only as invited volunteers. It is therefore unsuitable for independent personal appeals without an eligible organisation.

Key features

Online and contactless giving

Give A Little supports contactless cards, chip and PIN, and digital wallets through fixed and portable donation setups. It integrates with Stripe and SumUp, and works with SumUp Air, Solo and Solo Lite readers. Stripe supports web links, QR codes, monthly giving, Tap to Pay and fixed or portable donation points. This breadth suits organisations that need to join online appeals to in-person fundraising, though the choice of processor and setup shapes how donations are collected.

Mobile collection and reporting

The Champion app lets supporters collect contactless donations on compatible iPhone or Android devices using Tap to Pay, with donations processed by Stripe. Reporting covers campaign gifts, channels, Gift Aid eligibility, volunteer activity and bank payout reconciliation, with export options. That gives fundraising teams several useful views for monitoring collection and reconciling payouts, rather than limiting reporting to campaign totals.

Security and verification

Give A Little says it holds ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications, uses PCI-compliant payment channels without storing sensitive cardholder data on its servers, and complies with GDPR. It also verifies fundraiser organisations with relevant governing authorities. These measures address security and eligibility concerns, but do not remove the requirement for an organisation to prove charitable status or purpose.

Pricing

The Basic plan is free and covers up to $1,000 raised with Give A Little over 12 months. It is a sensible starting point for small-scale fundraising, but the cap makes it a limited long-term choice for organisations expecting more.

Premium starts at $10 a month, billed monthly before tax, with the amount tied to funds raised over 12 months: $10.00 up to $10,000; $20.00 for $10,001 to $20,000; $30.00 for $20,001 to $30,000; and $60.00 for $30,001 to $60,000. The rising subscription means organisations should compare the applicable tier with their fundraising volume, not just the entry price. Transaction and usage fees set by Stripe and/or SumUp are additional on both plans.

Platforms

Give A Little is available on Android, iOS and the web. Its Champion app supports contactless collection on compatible iPhone or Android devices, while campaign pages and QR codes provide online giving routes.

Who it's for

Charities and other eligible organisations that combine online campaigns with event-based or portable contactless collection are the clearest fit. Teams that need reporting across channels, Gift Aid eligibility, volunteer activity and payout reconciliation may also benefit from its reporting scope. Organisations seeking an unrestricted personal fundraiser, or those unable to provide proof of charitable status or purpose, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Campaign pages, QR codes and contactless collection work together, giving eligible organisations several routes to receive donations.
• Pros: Reporting includes volunteer activity and bank payout reconciliation as well as campaign and channel data.
• Pros: A free plan provides an entry point for fundraising up to $1,000 over 12 months.
• Cons: Eligibility requires organisational proof, and individuals can fundraise only as invited volunteers.
• Cons: The free plan has a $1,000 fundraising cap over 12 months, while higher fundraising levels raise the monthly Premium fee.
• Cons: Processor transaction and usage fees are extra, so the subscription alone does not represent the full cost.

Verdict

Give A Little is best for eligible charitable organisations that need online campaigns and contactless giving backed by cross-channel fundraising reports. Its combination of collection methods and reporting is the main reason to choose it; the eligibility gate, volume-based subscription and additional processor fees are reasons to compare alternatives before committing.
