Donor Protection

    We want you to give with confidence. This page says exactly what we do, and what we can't promise.

    Last updated 24 October 2026

    Before a fundraiser can touch your money

    Identity check

    Every fundraiser must pass identity verification before they can add a payout account or withdraw.

    Every withdrawal is reviewed

    A member of the Fundpeck team reviews and approves each withdrawal before any money is sent.

    We can pause a campaign

    If a campaign is reported or looks wrong, we can pause it. A flagged or suspended campaign can't receive new donations and can't withdraw funds.

    If something looks wrong

    Tell us

    Use Report this campaign on any campaign page, or email support@fundpeck.com.

    We review every report

    We review every report within 3 working days.

    If a campaign was fraudulent or misrepresented the need

    We will stop it and refund the donations that have not yet been paid out to the fundraiser, including the service fee and any tip you added. If the money has already been paid out, we will work with the payment provider and, where appropriate, the authorities to recover it. We cannot promise to repay money a fundraiser has already withdrawn.

    How refunds work

    Where the money goes

    Refunds go back to the payment method you used, through our payment provider.

    How long it takes

    We send an approved refund within 5 working days and email you when it's done. Your bank or mobile money provider then needs time to credit it, which is outside our control.

    What we can't promise

    • We don't control how a fundraiser spends the money, and we can't guarantee a campaign will reach its goal.
    • Donations to genuine campaigns aren't refundable because you changed your mind, or because the goal wasn't reached.
    • Payment providers' own timings are outside our control.

    How to make a claim

    Within 30 days of your donation, report the campaign, or email support@fundpeck.com with the email address you donated with, the amount, and the date. We'll tell you our decision by email.
