Ah, this is a great point. I will update the text of the article with some guidance to this effect.
Agree it would be good to set up some better way for small to medium UK based donors to donate tax deductibly, but haven’t found a good way of doing so that wouldn’t cost me 40+ hours.
We charge 2% on gifts of $50,000 and over, 3% on gifts between $15,001 and $50,000 and 4% on gifts of $15,000 and under. Minimum gift value is $1,000 and minimum fee is $250.
Makes sense! Options like giving what we can regranting seem to work for a bunch of people but maybe they aren’t willing to do it for lightcone?
But yeah, any donor giving $50K+ can afford to set up their own donor advised fund and get round this kind of issue, so you probably aren’t losing out on THAT much by having this be hard.

GWWC wasn’t accepting new applications for organizations to sponsor this way last time I checked a few months ago. I asked them to let me know when they do, and haven’t heard back, but I should ping them again and double check!
