Good Gift donations

Over 100% of the gift donation goes to the charity in full if you have ticked the Gift Aid declaration box. CharityGreetings.com will reclaim Gift Aid on behalf of the charity, subject to the Charity providing a completed ChN 2 form, which increases your original donation by 28%.

Our fee is between 5-10% plus VAT of this new total depending on which package option the Charity has chosen in addition to the applicable payment transaction charge.

Here’s an example based at 5%

If you buy a Good Gift for £10, Gift Aid will add £2.82 = £12.82

CharityGreetings.com fee 5% (+ VAT) = £0.64 (+ £0.10 VAT)

By credit card: Payment gateway and anti fraud charges 3.75% = £0.38
Balance remaining for Charity = £11.70

By debit card: Payment gateway and anti fraud charges 35p = 35p
Balance remaining for Charity = £11.73

By PayPal: Payment gateway and anti fraud charges 2.9% + 20p = £0.49
Balance remaining for Charity = £11.59

If you don’t make a Gift Aid declaration, then a fee of 5% plus VAT and the payment transaction charge (as mentioned above) is deducted from the gift donation with the balance going to the Charity.
