Registering your charity on GiveMatch

Some charities may already be registered on GiveMatch thanks to our API integration with the Charity Commission. If your charity is already registered, we’ll approve and assign your match pot and share access details. If not - no problem! It only takes a few minutes to register your charity.

If your account has already been approved, please continue reading this article to learn more about how to manage and activate your account so that you can get started with your fundraising.
