LOVE2DONATE: HOW WE WORK - OVERVIEW AND PAYMENTS
OUR MISSION IS TO ENSURE THAT AS MUCH OF YOUR GIFT SPENDING AS POSSIBLE IS DIVERTED TO CHARITABLE CAUSES, AS WELL AS HELPING TO SHOW THAT YOU CARE
We make every effort to make it straightforward for you to send gift vouchers to friends, family and loved ones who have special meaning to you.
Overview of how we work
We, at Love2Donate, work to make it very straightforward for you to make a really caring and loving gift to a person who has a special meaning to you.
We do this by inviting you (the donor) to buy a voucher to a value of your choice. We then pass your voucher to your special person (the recipient) with a personalised message from yourself.
If you are a UK tax payer we will apply to Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs for tax relief under the Giftaid Scheme, and any top-up donations the Government may give on your behalf.
In order to make claiming more straightforward, we ask that donors approve the charity choice of the recipient for the purposes of Giftaid.
Payments to the charities
As soon as the Giftaid is received by Love2Donate, it will be added to the net donation and passed onto the charity straight away. In order to make payment processing more efficient, both for the charity and Love2Donate, the payments will be batched and sent on two week cycles (approximately).
For example, it is less administration for the charity if it receives a £400.00 payment rather than 10 payments of £40.00.
If the donor is not a UK taxpayer the donation will be passed on in the same payment cycles as above, less the Love2Donate contribution and transaction costs.
Please note: transaction costs by Credit Card can be much higher, therefore we ask you not
to use American Express or Diners Club cards because their transaction costs
could be as high
as 4%.
