Questions about giving, answered plainly

Not yet. This website presents the giving interface but no payment provider is connected, so no transaction can be completed and no card details are collected or stored. Please use the contact page to arrange a gift in the meantime, and online giving will go live once a provider is in place.

Gifts given to where it is needed most are allocated by our programme team to the areas our partners have identified as most pressing. In practice this is the most useful way to give, because it lets funds move to genuine priorities rather than to whichever cause is most visible.

Yes. A designated gift goes to the area you chose. If circumstances ever made that impossible, we would contact you and ask what you would like to do rather than quietly reallocating it.

At any time, with a single message, and you will not be pursued about it. Monthly partners are not locked into anything.

Once online giving is live, the method that costs us least in processing fees will be noted on the donation page so you can choose if it matters to you. Transfers directly from a bank account typically carry lower fees than cards.

Yes. Once online giving is live, a receipt will be issued for every gift, with an annual summary for regular givers. [Confirm receipting arrangements and timings once the payment provider is connected.]

This depends on where you are resident and on the organisation's registration status in your country. We cannot give tax advice. [Add the organisation's registration details and the tax treatment of gifts in each relevant country once confirmed.]

We can explain the mechanics of how to make the gift, but we cannot advise on tax or legal matters and would not attempt to. Please take independent professional advice before making a planned gift.

Never. Your information is not sold, rented, swapped or passed to any third party for their own marketing, under any circumstances.

No. You choose what you hear from us and how often, and you can change it whenever you like. Our prayer updates deliberately carry no fundraising appeals — they are two different things and we keep them separate.

Running an organisation properly costs money — staff, audit, safeguarding, monitoring and honest reporting all have a price, and pretending otherwise would be misleading. We publish our cost breakdown rather than disguising overheads as programme spend. [Insert the current published breakdown here.]

Yes. We report on how funds are used and what changed, in plain language, including the parts that did not go as planned. Our reports are on the resources pages.
