Gift in memory donation form
Honouring a loved one by giving a gift to Ripple Effect, is a meaningful way of remembering them whilst helping others at the same time.
Your gift will help change lives in rural Africa by passing on knowledge to families so they can grow a better future, free from poverty.
FAQ: Donation Processing Fees
When you donate online, you’ll see a tick box giving you the option to cover the processing fee. This small additional cost helps ensure that your full intended donation goes directly towards Ripple Effect’s work, rather than being reduced by transaction fees.
No — covering the fee is entirely optional. If you choose not to, Ripple Effect will cover the processing cost ourselves. Either way, we are deeply grateful for your support.
The donation form includes a tick box that is pre-selected. To opt out of covering the fee, simply untick this box before completing your donation. Your donation will still be processed, and Ripple Effect will receive the full amount you chose to give.
The donation form is powered by Blackbaud, a trusted platform we use to securely process online donations. The transaction fee is set by Blackbaud and may vary depending on the donation amount. Ripple Effect does not set or receive any part of this fee.
We continually review our platforms to ensure we are using the most effective and cost-efficient systems available, while keeping your donations secure and easy to make.
This approach gives you the choice: you can choose to cover the fee if you’d like your full gift to go towards our work, or opt out and allow Ripple Effect to pay the processing cost on your behalf. This flexibility helps us continue making the best use of the donations we receive while respecting each donor’s preference.
