process the donation through our account with the U.K. Fund for Charities, which charges 1% for this service and returns the donor data to WMF. When a donor is looking to donate in country, we direct them to the chapter.
Can you please confirm whether you are talking about large donors, or the every day type donors who keep Wikipedia free by clicking on the banners. The reason this is needed is that it contradicts what Sj has stated on the Board noticeboard, where a figure of 20% was mentioned for the nickel and dime donors (which come about by way of the banners, etc).
Can you also give some further information on how many of these "in country" donors the WMF has sent WMUK's way? And what $/£ amount would we be talking about here? And are funds from these "in country" donors funnelled back to the WMF?
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere.
