If we take the subscription fees into account for total donations to charity of £1000***, then this helps to illustrate the incredible offering of Charity Giving:

 

 
  Charity Giving Just Giving * MissionFish ^ Virgin Money Giving ^^
With Gift Aid £1,210.00 £954.00 £1,050.00 £1,095.00
Without Gift Aid £1,000.00 £717.00 £800.00 £845.00

After a donor makes a donation, when we claim gift aid tax we make a charge of 3.99% of the net gift (which works out at approximately 3.1% of the gross gift when the tax is added), which is deducted by us from the tax before we send it on to the recipient charity.

So if someone gives £10, we claim £2.50 tax, charge 40p and send on £12.10.

If there is no Gift Aid tax to claim (e.g. from donations by companies, non-taxpayers, overseas donors etc) then we make no charge at all.

All this is very clear when a person makes a donation online.

We make no charge at all for setting up a page, and no charge to the charity which benefits.

If you have any queries about our charges, please let us know!
