Yes, I will support children in Burundi to grow up healthy and strong.
Although our Big Give Christmas Challenge campaign target has been reached, if you would like to donate today, your gift will still have a vital impact for families in Burundi.
Your donation will be used wherever the need is greatest to support the farming families we work alongside in Burundi. If you have any issues making your gift, please contact our Supporter Care team on supporter@rippleeffect.org or call +44 (0)1225 874222 or +44 (0)1225 688222. Thank you.
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.
Absolutely. If you’d rather not use the online form, we’re always happy to take donations over the phone. Just call our team on 01225 874222 / 01225 688222 (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm), and we’ll be glad to help.
