The recipient of your donation will be CAMFED. Their website is at
uk.camfed.org
Their goal is to educate girls in Africa. That, as
Dorothy Parker (probably one of the smartest women ever) said, is the gist and sum of it.
Some important things to know before donating:
- Please try to donate at least UK£ 2 or US$ 3, so donations don't get swallowed up in fees.
- Not one cent of your donation goes to me. If you use JustGiving or
Firstgiving, I couldn't touch it if I
wanted to. Website fees, software, advertising... all of these expenses
come out of my pocket and my pocket alone.

FirstGiving:
The FirstGiving site does not take Paypal.
It takes credit cards only - Visa, Mastercard,
American Express and Discover.
The FirstGiving site charges a 7.5% commission.
The FirstGiving site is a US site and works in US dollars. However,
if your credit card uses something else, the credit card company will convert it
to US dollars. Please be aware of the exchange rates and fees
for this conversion.
|
JustGiving:
The JustGiving site takes credit cards and Paypal. JustGiving
is a British site, so they use pounds sterling only. Please be
aware of the exchange rates and fees
for this conversion.
The JustGiving site charges a 5% commission (less than FirstGiving, which makes it better), and if you are a British
taxpayer (and not expecting anything in return for your donation), you can
tick the "GiftAid" box and that adds 25% to your gift!
Thus £10 becomes £11.90 !
You can read more details about the "GiftAid" box (along with other tax implications)
here.

Send the Donation to Me:
Alternatively, if you feel uncomfortable or uncertain about using
JustGiving or FirstGiving, you may use Paypal to send the money directly
to me and I will forward (all of) the money directly to the charity.
For a donation in Pounds Sterling,
please use paypal to send the donation to:
ukgrim (at) otterstow (dot) com
For a donation in US dollars
please use paypal to send the donation to:
grim (at) otterstow (dot) com
You may send an email to either address.
If you have any questions about donating, feel free to email me.
