How it works
A Noble Gift is a curated marketplace where 100% of Gifts are donated by brands and philanthropic individuals, and 100% of the purchase price goes directly to a charity chosen by the buyer. As a charity partner, you don't donate anything - you simply receive the proceeds from Gifts sold in your name.
Joining as a charity partner involves two steps: completing your onboarding form and connecting a Stripe account to receive payouts. Once we've reviewed and approved your application, you'll receive access to our partner portal where you can log in, add Gifts and track your fundraising.
The onboarding process
Complete the charity onboarding form
The onboarding form collects your charity's contact information and the details we need to build your partner page - including your logo, a description of your cause and your charity registration number. This is the page buyers will see when they choose your charity as their beneficiary.
Open the charity onboarding formConnect your Stripe account
As part of the form, you'll be asked to connect your charity's Stripe account. This is how A Noble Gift sends your proceeds - Stripe is a secure, industry-standard payment processor used by thousands of organisations. You won't be able to submit the form until Stripe is connected.
If your charity doesn't yet have a Stripe account, you can create one for free at stripe.com. It takes around 10 minutes and requires your charity's bank details and registration information. See our Stripe support page for a step-by-step walkthrough.
We review your application
Once submitted, the A Noble Gift team will review your application. We check your charity registration details and ensure your partner page content is ready to go live. This typically takes 2 to 3 working days.
Receive your VMS login
Once approved, you'll receive an email inviting you to set a password for your partner portal account (our VMS). From here you can log in, upload Gifts for auction or sale and view your fundraising activity. If you'd prefer us to manage Gift uploads on your behalf, that's absolutely fine - simply get in touch.
What you'll need before you start
Have the following to hand before opening the onboarding form - it will make the process much quicker.
- Your charity's registered name and charity number
- A contact name and email address for the partnership
- A short description of your charity and the cause it supports (2 to 3 sentences)
- Your charity logo (PNG or SVG, on a transparent background if possible)
- Access to your charity's Stripe account, or time to set one up (around 10 minutes)
Frequently asked questions
Is there a cost to join as a charity partner?
No. There is no cost to join A Noble Gift as a charity partner. We operate a transparent platform fee model paid by the buyer, not the charity. You receive proceeds from Gifts sold in your name with no upfront fee or subscription.
Why does my charity need a Stripe account?
Stripe is how we send your proceeds directly and securely to your charity. It removes the need for manual bank transfers and gives you a clear record of every payment received. If you have any questions about setting up Stripe, see our Stripe support page.
Do we need to donate anything?
No. Charities on A Noble Gift are beneficiaries, not donors. All Gifts on the platform are donated by brands and philanthropic individuals. Your role as a charity partner is simply to receive the proceeds from Gifts sold in your name.
Can we upload our own Gifts once we have a VMS login?
Yes. Once you're approved and have your VMS login, you can upload Gifts directly through your partner portal. If you'd prefer us to manage this on your behalf, our team is happy to do so - just get in touch after you've been approved.
How long does approval take?
We aim to review all applications within 2 to 3 working days. We'll be in touch by email once your application has been approved and your partner page is ready.
