How much of my donation actually reaches the Fund?
We pay a monthly subscription flat fee of £15 plus VAT to join the Just Giving service. We then pay a transaction fee of 5% and a credit card fee of 1.4% or a debit card fee of 22p or 25p depending on the debit card issuer. However, Just Giving reclaims the tax on your donation, so the figures look like this for a £10 donation:
| |

Which means that for every £10 you donate, the Fund gets at least £11.82 after all costs are taken. Not a bad deal, really, is it?
