A scheme is launching next month to allow charities to tap into a share of £250m worth of Nectar points spent by consumers each year.
Online fundraising platform Crowdfunder has partnered with Nectar to launch Nectar Donate, which will enable users of the customer loyalty points scheme to donate to good causes.
Through Nectar Donate customers can choose how much they want to give, how often and to which charity.
Customers taking part donate their points which will be given turned into donations to chosen charities through Crowdfunder.
Nectar points are used by brands including Sainsbury’s, Argos and Habitat.
“We’re really excited to be partnering with Nectar to launch Nectar Donate,” said Crowdfunder director of charity and philanthropy Duncan Parker.
“This is an entirely new way for charities to ask for donations and utilise the Crowdfunder platform for fundraising. It will also help charity fundraisers to combat donor fatigue as supporters will be able to donate Nectar points instead of cash.
“We're really excited about this revolutionary new approach to charitable giving and would encourage charities to sign up today ahead of the launch in August.”
Nectar managing director James Moir added: “We know how important it is to our customers to be able to make meaningful donations to causes close to them, so we’re delighted to launch Nectar Donate in partnership with Crowdfunder, making it even easier for our customers to use their Nectar points to support a huge range of fantastic charities.”

What has the pandemic taught us about the public’s perception of charities?
In this episode of the Charity Times Leadership podcast, we take a look at what the pandemic has taught us about the public’s perception of charities. Charity fundraising platform, Enthuse, recently released its quarterly donor research study, which highlighted significant shifts in donor behaviour throughout the duration of the pandemic. Not only does the report highlight an overarching sense of positivity towards the sector, but a propensity for younger generations to give more generously, too. Lauren Weymouth is joined by Enthuse CEO, Chester Mojay-Sinclare to discuss more.
The importance of the ‘S’ in ‘ESG’
In this episode, Lauren Weymouth is joined by Ketan Patel, equities fund manager at EdenTree, to delve into the issue of social investment and why that all-important ‘S’ in ESG is more relevant now than ever before. The social element of ESG often gets forgotten when thinking about investing in more ethical and sustainable ways. But, after a challenging year for all areas of society, social injustice has been highlighted, and there’s a much greater need for charities to put people at the heart of their investment decisions.
