Calder Waterways Trust and its appeal are invented. Gift Aid's 25p for every £1 is the real rule.

Questions people ask

Which payment provider does it use?
Usually Stripe, which takes cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. If you already use a fundraising platform, we can send donors there instead.
How is Gift Aid handled?
The page asks for what a Gift Aid declaration needs, including the donor's name and home address, and keeps a record for your claim. You make the claim to HMRC as you do now.
Where do the impact figures come from?
From your own costs. You set them in an admin page, and the page says how they're worked out.
