What about gift aid?
Gift Aid can only be claimed if you are UK registered charity. If you want, we can process gift aid on your behalf, for that there is an admin fee of 5% from the gift aid amount, not from your donation. So, if someone donated £10 + Gift Aid 25%. You get full £10 + 20% (our admin fee is 5% from gift aid). This is an optional service.
