Re: [Wikimediauk-l] We are now accepting Direct Debits

Just in case anyone forgot, we estimated that Direct Debits would give us the same benefit (in the long term) as this years fundraiser,.Gift Aid gives us an almost immediate extra 25%, but DD may gives us (in time) an extra 100%. This is brilliant news. Moving the fundraiser outside the UK could e

WSC, I can’t speak for the board here, and I’ll let Chris or Mike go into greater detail if they feel comfortable with doing so. I will also happily stand corrected, as I’m merely running the system, rather than setting it up. However, the short answer is that yes, that would be ideal, and

We're working on finding an easy way to give donors the choice of monthly or quarterly direct debits, but we haven't got it working quite yet. For now, if you want to donate by direct debit each month, then you can do so by visiting: http://directdebit.wikimedia.org.uk/index_monthly.html Hopeful

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] We are now accepting Direct Debits

Hmmm... I just tried to set up a direct debit and it seems the only option for the frequency is quarterly. I want to donate monthly. Why can't I? Obviously, the fees are greater for 3 donations of £2, say, than for one donation of £6, but I think you'll get a lot more takers if you offer monthly di
