As the first company to pioneer digital fundraising in 2008 we like to think we’re experts in our field.Â
Ideal Fundraising pioneered electronic fundraising in 2008 and since then, 15 years on, have processed in excess of 6 million sign-ups in the UK alone, for over 100 major charities and NGO’s. Available to be used across the world, Ideal Fundraising really is the complete end-to-end fundraising system that allows you to work face-to-face, phone-to-phone and door-to-door. Whether you offer lotteries, provide memberships or engage in regular giving, Ideal Fundaising caters for it all. It’s the only truly off-line, locked-down and most secure solution available in the fundraising world.
We are constantly developing our platform to ensure we offer everything your team may need to succeed. In 2017 we launched our Door-to-Door module making this method of fundraising much more efficient and worthwhile.
See how Ideal Fundraising is different from the rest and how we can help you maximise your fundraising potential.

What Our Clients
Say About Us
We have used IFS to support our regular giving and lottery campaigns for around 8 years now. The actual software itself is super easy to use, quick to complete and is built with fundraisers in mind. With the portal, the standardisation across it, makes the system really easy to use. KPI’s are at the forefront and visible within seconds. It’s very accessible for our field managements throughout every day, which is something we really like about it.
We assessed many solutions when looking for a partner to provide our digital data collection/canvassing solution. The Ideal Fundraising solution stood out for many reasons, their experience within the sector, their knowledge of what works and what doesn’t within field-based communications, and the fact the system did not rely on being online, that our fundraisers and supporters would experience the same level of service from the system, with the same level of data security even when out of signal.
The solution continues to provide us with a completely data secure, easy to navigate scalable solution for our fundraising. Managed through the main portal, we are even able to give our charity clients access to allow them to monitor activity on a real time basis.
As one of the UK’s biggest fundraising providers by volume we can’t recommend Ideal Fundraising enough.
Since 2013 we’ve used IFS to process far in excess of 225,000 new members on behalf of our six charity clients. The system is secure, smooth and user-friendly, and hiccups are non-existent. The live reporting is a really useful feature too! IFS certainly comes highly recommended from us.
The security of personal information is also extremely important to us and having IFS really helps us with this. As soon as a lottery member is acquired, their personal information transfers off the tablet and into the secure Hub. Also, if a PDA tablet is lost or stolen it can be locked down in minutes.
We have been with IFS for a couple of years now and now have 6 campaigns up and running which are a mixture of lottery and regular giving campaigns. What we love about the system is that the portal is available on the go.

Donor’s Perspective
It’s great to see a professional, secure piece of technology used that I can put my trust in – the fundraiser has even shown me how they can’t see anything once my details have been sent – much better than paper!
I really enjoyed the use of their video, it really hit home – the fundraiser said that ‘experiential fundraising’ is the new way of getting people involved – either way, it was great that we didn’t have to wait for it to buffer or load!
When I walked away, I received a text message from the Charity with the Fundraiser’s name, a great touch – I really appreciated that.
Fundraiser’s Perspective
Wow, no more paper. Wow, look how fast I can validate addresses and bank details. No more pulled or failed forms!
Now I know the donors I sign up are genuine, this is a massive boost to the morale of the team – let’s hit those targets!
Amazing! No more texting my scores back to head office, no more counting paper forms and keeping track of those. I worked all day without the system being slow or not working – it is great that this does not need a constant mobile-data connection!
Charity’s Perspective
I know that the donors being signed up have a very high chance of being genuine. I also know that the checks within the form mean that the fundraisers are disclosing correctly.
With the Reporting Portal I have a live view of where my teams are, what their scores are as well as instant access to the donors they have signed up. I’m safe in the knowledge that any strange behaviour is automatically flagged by the system for my team to review.
One of the most impactful benefits has been the automated data exports into our CRM systems. It used to take 2-6 weeks for our donors to receive the first payment – now it can be as quick as we like!
