When you give to your favourite local charity on Localgiving.com, 95% of your donation goes to charity. 92% goes to your charity of choice and 3% goes to the Community Foundation. Each local Community Foundation is a registered charity and the body that makes it possible for you to claim Gift Aid on donations to the smallest local organisations. Gift Aid increases your original donation by 25% at no extra cost to you! Learn more about Gift Aid

Localgiving.com uses 3% to maintain and improve the website for charities, supporters and Community Foundations. PayPal’s fee for securely processing donation payments is 1.4% + 20p.

So, when you donate £10, that turns into £12.50 with Gift Aid. Minus commissions, that means the charity of your choice receives £11.41 from your £10 donation.

*If you do not claim Gift Aid, your charity receives £9.06 of your £10 donation.
