givestar - How and when do the charities get the money I raised?

This article explains how and when donations raised on givestar get to the charity.

givestar automatically collects donations and pays them out to the charity directly, so that fundraisers can focus on the fundraising, without the hassle.


Donations are automatically paid out to the charities once a month, around the date of the 14th (give or take due to weekends and bank holidays!) and continue to be paid out every month until your fundraising page closes.


Charities are able to monitor donations in real-time through their reporting dashboard - so they can see exactly how much money has been collected and is due to be paid out.
