Welcome to

Makerble is a free platform that connects
your charity with people who want to
donate to your projects
• We do the donor acquisition, donation processing and Gift Aid
• You just provide a project and the occasional progress update

Our service to donors
Donors tell us the causes they care about. We use that information
to suggest charitable projects sourced from our library which match
their interests for them to start donating to on Makerble.

Every project has its own page
As a charity you create your project page. This Guide talks you
through how to create your project page.

Introducing HELP – MAKE – CHANGE
Text describing the
problem. I.e. the people
who need to be Helped.
Text describing the
proposed solution. I.e.
this is what the
charity will do
through this project. You tell us your project’s
outputs.
We create “Change”
badges that represent
them.
