Tagging @philh@bilalchughtai@eventuallyalways@jbeshir in case this is relevant to you (though pooling money to get GWWC interested in helping may make more sense, if it can enable smaller donors and has lower fees)
Thanks—I think GWWC would be fewer steps for me, but if that’s not looking likely then one of these is plausible.
(I wonder if it would be worth a few of us pooling money to get both “lower fees” and “less need to deal with orgs who don’t just let you click some buttons to say where you want the money to go”, but not sure if that would be legit for gift aid purposes.)
Yeah, GWWC has told us no for at least a few months (they are still in the middle of spinning out from Effective Ventures, and so fiscal sponsorship things are impacted by that).
Not clear to me whether it would be allowed if the charity is in on it and everyone fills in their own gift aid declaration. But that’s extra steps for all parties.

Based on https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charities-detailed-guidance-notes/chapter-3-gift-aid#chapter-344-digital-giving-and-social-giving-accounts, doing this the naive way (one person collects money and gives it to the charity, everyone shares the tax rebate) is explicitly forbidden. Which makes sense, or everyone with a high income friend would have access to the 40% savings.

I reached out to them and they said pooling isn’t possible.
