This is subject to finding out precisely why the charity is voluntarily throwing away money. On Sep 28, 2012 11:11 PM, "Deryck Chan" deryckchan@gmail.com wrote:
Doesn't Gift Aid depend on the recipient, not the payment processor?
If so, I would have thought that donating to WMUK, even with WMF acting as the payment processor, would presumably be entitled to Gift Aid.
Don't be fooled by the WMF's political choices of language. We're not talking about payment processing, we're talking about who is actually fundraising.
