About The Pennies Foundation

Pennies is a UK-based micro-donation funder focused on making small, digital charitable gifts possible at scale, usually through retail and payments partnerships rather than traditional open grantmaking. It supports registered charities that can receive and steward point-of-sale donations, with a strong emphasis on consumer-facing campaigns, payment technology integration, and corporate co-branding. Its distinctive role is less about funding a wide range of causes directly and more about building the infrastructure and partnerships that generate unrestricted, high-volume micro-donation income for charities.

Giving Approach

Rolling, partnership-based support delivered through onboarding and technical/programmatic integration with corporate and payments partners; grants are typically micro-donation flows rather than one-off competitive awards, with no public application process or fixed deadline.

How to approach this funder

This is typically an invite/partnership model, not an open grant competition. Charities interested in working with Pennies should focus on being eligible to receive donations in the UK/Ireland, having a clear retail or checkout fundraising use case, and approaching Pennies through a corporate or payments partner rather than expecting a standalone application portal.
