Parsnip is a donation service attached to UK banks and payment companies, approved by Visa and Matercard.
As long as your charity is registered with either the charity commission of England & Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, and the relevant records are up-to-date, donors can select to support you in their banking app and begin fundraising.
To support you, a donor selects a payment card or device from one of our partners, and chooses how much they would like to donate as they shop. Parsnip then works seamlessly in the background, automatically collecting micro-sized donations from the user as they go about their day buying things using their payment card or device. The donation takes place without involving the merchant, which means it works in every shop.
All donations from the users that are supporting you are collected and disbursed to you in a single payment each calendar quarter. As well as the donations, we also provide you with the information and reports needed to make a Gift Aid claim as part of your normal process.
