Want to donate to third-party campaigns to help us? Read this first!
In the last year, many
of our supporters stepped up to donate to us. While most contributed directly,
some chose to support us through crowdfunding campaigns set up by friends,
family or sometimes, even third-party individuals.
We recommend you carry
out all possible due diligence checks before you donate to an individual who is
not a part of LNWH Charity. LNWH Charity is in no way responsible for the
credibility of personal crowdfunding campaigns and cannot be held responsible for ensuring that those funds reach us and are properly used or adequately protected.
To be safe, donate to
our COVID-19
appeal .
Your donation goes further when you give to us directly as we save on
processing fees. If you still want to support a third-party fundraiser, here
are some things to keep in mind so you and your donations are safe:
- Consider
giving to people you know. Donating to campaigns to help your family
or friends increases the chances of your money being utilised for its intended
purpose.
- Don't
be the first to give. A campaign inspired you to donate? Wait
for a few donations or comments from others. If you don't know the person and
there are a few or no donations or comments, give here instead!
- Ask
questions. In case of any questions, email or call the fundraiser to learn
more about their activity and their plans to handover the funding to
us. If you have any concerns about whether a campaign is genuine, you
should report this to the online fundraising platform directly through their
complaints process.
