Comet

A website builder for charities and community groups

Tell people what you do, take donations and find volunteers, on a site you can keep up to date yourselves. No code, free to start.

Donations, with no fee from Comet

  • Suggested amounts, or people can type their own, one-off or monthly.
  • Donations go to your own Stripe account. Stripe charges its usual card fees; Comet takes nothing.

Gift Aid

Registered charities can switch on Gift Aid. Donors make the declaration as they give, and you can download a spreadsheet ready for HMRC.

Volunteers and enquiries

Forms that ask exactly what you need, such as which roles people are interested in and when they’re free. Each reply is emailed to you.

Events and meetings

List events, meetings and fundraisers with their dates. Past ones disappear by themselves.

News and stories

Share news and stories in a blog, and collect newsletter sign-ups.

What supporters look for on a charity website

  • Your registered charity number in the footer, or that you’re a CIO.
  • Who you help and where.
  • How to get help, and when and where you meet.
  • How donations are used.
  • Annual reports and your safeguarding policy.
  • Real stories and photos, shared with consent.
