We have now set up a Paypal Account for any donations, when making a donation make sure you tick the donation box, this will allow free transactions.

That is a brilliant idea, I will donate some money a litle nearer to Christmas instead of sending cards, I did the same last year and put the money into the collection box at Cafe Inn, I was wondering where to put the money this year as I am not sure which bars collect for the rescue centre now, so having paypal solves the problem.
-
Thanks Karenina, no bars collect for the rescue centre now.
-
I will make a donation too left some money for my cousin to drop in at Cafe Inn only to find they are not doing it now she left the money at the Nil bar back in Oct but from now on I shall use Paypal,thanks to all of you who look after these animals I am in UK now and have started to buy plastic toys for the dogs ready to bring out when I return
-
have just tried to make a donation via Paypal but cannot see where to tick for 'donation box' can you advise please?
-
Lena,
Here is how to donate without the charity having to pay Paypal fees. This means 100% of your donation goes to help, if you send as a 'normal' paypal transaction around 7% is taken by paypal.
PLEASE also note these graphics are from the "computers for schools" fundraiser we did last year. If you send money to that email address I will get it and I promise I will not pass it on, it will be used to buy mince pies, chocolate and booze for my personal use :D The email addresss to put in there is as detailed above,

Just to keep every penny free of charges, you can do it thus:

Then

Ultimately, don't worry about it if you get confused, the donation is welcome even if charged a handling fee, better than no donation at all :)

If you don't use paypal (i.e. have an account) it is worth pointing out that you don't need one to make a donation. Credit and debit cards can be used by visiting https://www.paypal-marketing.co.uk/sendmoney/send_to_a_friend.htm
Then choosing the options as detailed above (the graphics may be different but you are looking for GIFT as transaction type).
-
Thanks for your help Keith ;)
-
Thank you Jaquie Harvey for your donation:D ;)
-
thanks Scunner for your reply, I have tried to do it your way i.e as a gift in personal section but still getting charged, as you say any donation is better than none but I would rather my whole donation went to the dogs,am doing it from my Paypal account does anyone think it would be better to do it the other way Scunner suggested[?]
-
Here is a screenshot of me sending a pound to the charity as a gift (yes I know but I'm a generous guy):

No charges to me
No charges to them
Should be fairly straightforward. If you haven't got a Paypal account you can still send fee free. It might be a good idea to just sign up for a new account, it doesn't cost anything and takes a couple of minutes.
p.s. I didn't really send the pound lol
-
must just be me have just sent a donation and still had to pay the fee, but instead of faffing around worrying about it will just absorb the fee,as you say anything is better than nothing!!
-
Thank You very much Lena for your donation, received now:D ;)
-
Just went to donate some money instead of buying Xmas cards can not find a section at all that says "gift" can anyone help please, the sancturay should benefit and not paypal, after all they have already had their fees from me!
-
if you read page one the instructions are there ;)
-
Looks like the best way to send money if you don't have a paypal account is now to just get a paypal account. It doesn't cost anything and takes 2 minutes.
To find 'gift', after putting in your email address there are two tabs - 'personal' and 'purchase'. Gift is in 'personal', highlight that one.
-
Ok thanks I will try it again tomorrow when the wine has worn off!
-
No do it now while your drunk!
-
Ha! Just done it now, there was a good chance I may have added a few extra 0's last night, the sanctuary would have benefited but my bank account would not have!
Thanks Scunner for the help I did not know that there were both those options on paypal.
-
