PayPal Donations

Why has the Trust decided to start taking donations via PayPal? 

We know from the statistics on our website and Facebook page that we attract interest and attention from all over the world, but not everyone wishes to become a member of the Trust. Some people would prefer to make a one-off or occasional online donation when it is convenient to them. Using PayPal allows the Trust to accept vital funds from individuals that might not otherwise support us.

Can I make a donation without having a PayPal account? 

Yes you can! You can still pay or donate by debit or credit card via the Donate link or you can choose to sign up for a PayPal account if you prefer. It makes no difference to the Trust which payment method you prefer to use.

Is there a cost to the Leigh-on-Sea Endeavour Trust receiving a donation via PayPal? 

Yes, there is a small charge of 1.4% + 20p per transaction (fee correct as of Jan 2020). The table below sets out what this means for some sample donation amounts:

You Donate	PayPal Charges	We Get
£ 1.00	£ 0.21	£ 0.79
£ 5.00	£ 0.27	£ 4.73
£ 10.00	£ 0.34	£ 9.66
£ 25.00	£ 0.55	£ 24.45
£ 50.00	£ 0.90	£ 49.10
£ 75.00	£ 1.25	£ 73.75
£ 100.00	£ 1.60	£ 98.40

As you can see, even for small donations, the Trust receives the majority of the money, and if you're able to donate ten pounds or more, the charge is very minor compared to what we receive.

Can I Gift Aid my donation? 

Yes. With PayPal, donors opt into Gift Aid by simply ticking a box. This declaration is then automatically applied to all future donations to the same charity.

Are my transactions secure?

PayPal is certified by Visa® and MasterCard® and complies with the highest security standards including PCI-DSS (which stands for "Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard" and is a certification that a payment system meets the payment card industry's tough standards for protecting card transactions). All transactions are encrypted from end-to-end, meaning that interception of the payment as you make it is as good as impossible.

Amazon Smile

Amazon Smile is a charitable donations programme run by Amazon. For every eligible purchase on the platform, Amazon will make a donation of 0.5% of the net cost of the product (excluding VAT, returns and shipping fees) to the charity of your choice free-of-charge to you, and we are pleased to say that the Leigh-on-Sea Endeavour Trust is one you can choose to donate to if you are a resident of the UK.

All you have to do is use a dedicated link when you use Amazon; smile.amazon.co.uk. After you log in, you will be asked to select your charity (the Leigh-on-Sea Endeavour Trust, hopefully!) and thereafter, as long as you use that dedicated Amazon Smile link, we will get the donation from eligible purchases.

Browser Users

We would strongly recommend you update your bookmarks to use the new URL, smile.amazon.co.uk, as if you just go to the normal site, we don't get the donations.

You'll know if you're using the right page because it will show the Amazon Smile logo in the top left.

Mobile App Users

If you use an Amazon mobile app on your smartphone or tablet, by amending a couple of settings. Full instructions on how to set up Amazon Smile in the mobile app can be found on the Amazon Website. Rest assured it's pretty simple to do - we managed it!

If you use the app, you will be prompted every six months to confirm you still wish to make donations to the Trust. Website users are not required to do this.
