Governance

How Microhive operates:

Microhive, the act of donating small amounts to charity, is a powerful tool for individuals and businesses to support charities and communities. While the contributions may seem modest on their own, collectively, they make a significant impact. The administration of Microhive (formerly known as Pennies from Heaven) is operated by Pennies from Heaven Distribution Limited, an independent not for profit company limited by guarantee. The company is responsible for collecting the donated funds from organisations who are participating in Microhive and paying these to correct charities.

Pennies from Heaven Distribution Limited undergoes an annual external audit, ensuring organisations have confidence in the accuracy and integrity of its donation processing. To ensure proper governance, Pennies from Heaven Distribution Limited is a separate entity from Pennies from Heaven Fundraising Limited (trading as Microhive). There is no cross ownership between the two companies and the board of directors of each is completely independent of the other with no cross directorships. A legally binding agreement defines the respective duties of each company under the Microhive scheme.
