The National Funding Scheme is a government-backed charitable organisation (charity number 1149800) in the United Kingdom with the aim to aid UK charities in fundraising. The charity uses the DONATE® brand name to deliver an integrated giving platform across text, online and contactless donation products.[1]

Established in 2013 and initially for arts organisations, the scheme was broadened to all UK charities in 2015.[2] DONATE's provision of SMS/text giving has increased following the closure of JustGiving's text platform on 31 March 2019. [3]
