2. Terms for Individuals

Donating to a Providing Organisation

2.1 You can donate to any Providing Organisation that has elected to collect donations via the MyGivingCircle platform. Please note you make your Donation to the Providing Organisation directly via the MyGivingCircle platform. The role of MyGivingCircle – unless expressly stated otherwise – is to act as a platform to connect individuals with the Providing Organisation. Donations can be made via Stripe or other payment methods as may be available from time to time, including payroll deductions where agreed. All Donations are processed under the terms of your agreement with the payment provider and the Providing Organisation. Transaction fees may be applied by the relevant payment provider.

2.2 In most instances Donations are subject to a minimum donation amount. Donations will be processed in the currency which is indicated on the Giving Circle and payment pages, or if not specified, the base currency of AUD. If a donation is made in a different currency, conversion fees may apply, and may be charged to you by your financial institution. Depending on the type of Providing Organisation you may have a choice of making a one-off donation or a monthly (recurring) donation.

2.3 In the case of payments not being processed the payment provider will normally attempt to complete the transaction as per their own Terms and Conditions. In such case as the payment is still unable to be processed, the Providing Organisation may contact the individual to arrange alternative payment.

Holding and Release of Funds

2.4 Depending on the arrangements agreed with the Providing Organisation your payments may be deposited directly into the Providing Organisations bank account at the time of your donation less our Service Fee.

Changes to and cancellations of Donations

2.5 Any donations already made and processed cannot be refunded unless under exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Providing Organisation. Any donations not yet processed (whether they are the initial donation or any recurring donations) can be modified or cancelled via the MyGivingCircle dashboard.

2.6 A Providing Organisation may cancel or refund a Donation at any time at their discretion and for any reason.

2.7 If you disagree with how a Providing Organisation is using your Donation, you should raise this directly with the Providing Organisation

MyGivingCircle Fees + Transaction Costs

2.8 MyGivingCircle collects a fee to support the operation and developing of the site and associated services. This amount is between 0% - 6.5% + GST (where applicable) of the gross amount donated and may vary from time to time. This amount is deducted from the donation amount and is not an extra charge imposed on the individual.

2.9 In most instances the payment provider will levy a fee for processing the transaction and you should refer to their website for specific information on their transaction fees. This amount is deducted from the donation amount is not an extra charge imposed on the individual

2.11 From time to time Providing Organisations may contract MyGivingCircle.org to provide other services for which a fee is charged, however these fees are paid by the Providing Organisation out of their general operating budgets.

Tax deductions and receipts

2.11 When you make a donation, you will receive an order confirmation from us for the amount of your donation. In some cases donations made may be tax deductible, but in other cases the donation may not be tax deductible. Where donations are tax deductible, you will receive a receipt from the Providing Organisation which should be used for claiming tax deductions on your donation. It is your responsibility to contact the Providing Organisation directly if such receipt is not forthcoming.

2.12 It is your responsibility to confirm whether a Providing Organisation has deductible gift recipient (DGR) status or the relevant status in your jurisdiction allowing you to claim a tax deduction.

You also agree to indemnify us against any claim made against us in relation to the tax deductibility of your donation.

Fees & Charges
