Donation processing fees
Donation fees
With 85p in every pound that is raised to care for the parks coming from organisations and people who support The Royal Parks charity in different ways, your donation is vital.
Online donations on our website
How much of your online donation comes to The Royal Parks charity?
Our donation platform provider (Enthuse) does not deduct a processing fee on your donation amount. If you choose to add Gift Aid to your donation, Enthuse deducts 5% of the Gift Aid amount as a processing fee.
What that looks like
If you donated £10 and chose to add Gift Aid, The Royal Parks charity would receive:
| Your donation | £10 |
| Donation processing fee | £0.00 |
| Gift Aid amount | £2.50 |
| Gift Aid Processing fee | £0.13 |
| Total value of your donation | £12.37 |
Contactless giving
You can make contactless donations at a number of donation points in the parks. We also have handheld donation machines available at some of our events.
A transaction fee of 1.59% + 10p is deducted when you make a contactless donation. This means that when you make a donation of £5, The Royal Parks charity receives £4.82.
