Sorry a Charity and Impact account isn’t suitable for your organisation
We appreciate this isn’t the news you were hoping to receive. There are some alternative options you could explore to see if they’re suitable for your organisation. For example, if you are running a time-based fundraiser on behalf of a charity or personal initiative, you could try a fundraising platform instead. Although some of the platforms charge a percentage fee, you might be able to reach more potential donators and benefit from Gift Aid if you’re fundraising for a charity.
