Ways we’re helping your charity raise more in London Marathon 2025
Here are just a few things we’ve got cooking to help JustGiving fundraisers raise more for your cause in London Marathon 2025. Pop these in your diary to make the most of your fundraising in the run up to race day. Don’t forget to include them in your stewardship to make sure your supporters know about them!
Free £5 donations for 4,000 London Marathon fundraisers using JustGiving
Encourage your fundraisers to make JustGiving pages as soon as you accept them, because we’ll get their fundraising kickstarted early.
Starting in June 2024, we’re giving 4,000 London Marathon runners a £5 donation when they create their JustGiving Fundraising Page! Plus, we know that fundraisers who create their page early raise more on average!
Free £2,000 donations to three JustGiving fundraisers
Encourage your runners to raise money on JustGiving and they could raise a couple extra thousand pounds for you – without doing anything! From September – November 2024, London Marathon fundraisers who get donations on JustGiving will be entered into a draw for a £2,000 bonus donation -with one lucky winner each month!
£100 donation giveaways every week until race day
Why don’t we keep the momentum going? Starting early in 2025, every week until race day, we’re giving away a £100 donation to one lucky fundraiser using JustGiving.
Every donation made to a fundraiser’s London Marathon page counts as an entry… so the more donations someone racks up, the more chances they have to win!

What other ways does JustGiving support charities?
It doesn’t stop there! You and your supporters deserve the best. Here are a few more ways we support charities raise more money with JustGiving.
- Raise more money with personalised fundraising journeys
JustGiving’s highly personalised, behavioural onboarding, coaching, and celebration fundraiser email journeys have driven 50 million donations (!) since we launched them in 2020…plus, supporters who receive them raise 6% more.
Tailored emails, personalised to each of your London Marathon fundraisers reminding them of their fundraising progress and inspiring them to keep going.
- Get a spotlight on your mission
We love sharing fundraisers and their pages on social media with our 400,000 followers! In 2024, our London Marathon content on social got 5.2 million impressions, 300,000 engagements! This is usually amplified further if you have fundraisers with incredible stories, celebrities, or influencers running for you!
For example, 1.2 million people saw when we caught up with The Sidemen’s Ethan Payne, who ran the marathon to support the Single Homeless Project.
And 32,000 people enjoyed our feature on Laura, who ran the London Marathon with a 30 kilogram refrigerator on her back, and raised over £14,000 for Rays of Sunshine! - Get in-person support (and lots of noise-making)
