Credit card donation in five minutes

Dana, who made a credit-card donationAfter watching news reports of the Asian tsunami on 26th December 2004, Dana wanted to respond quickly to the Disasters Emergency Committee’s (DEC) appeal for donations.

She had heard about CAF through friends and decided to make a donation of £100 as the DEC’s televised appeal stated that this would help to build two houses for victims displaced by the disaster.

The 28-year-old Marketing Analyst from Kent said: “Donating online through CAF was quick, simple and secure. You just enter the amount you want to give, your credit card details and confirmation that you are a UK tax payer.

“It was refreshing to be able to use the search facility from the homepage to search for my chosen charity. This enabled me to go straight into the website and make my donation without any fuss.”

Dana’s transaction was made through WorldPay, part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, so it’s a safe and reliable way of making an online donation.

What’s more, we automatically Gift Aid all donations made through our site so her £100 donation was added to by the taxman and the DEC actually received £121.80.
