We are a small charity - Prospect Burma - and one of our supporters in Spain would like to raise funds for us there and has translated a page into Spanish to go up on our website. At present we use Just Giving for online donations and I can give them our swift code and iban number to transfer funds through their bank. Do I simply give Euro equivalents and translate the JustGiving logo into Spanish - what do other small charities do about making it easy for supporters in Spain/Europe to donate? Many thanks for any advice, Elizabeth Bluck

If you're likely to attract significant foreign currency, you should consider Worldpay.
I used to plug them a lot, until recently when I discovered Charitygiving.com.
However, the current Charity offer from Worldpay is excellent, and, since they are owned by major banks, foreign currency transfers are not a problem. I haven't checked currency charges, but it used to be free for the major currencies (Sterling, Euro, Dollar)
Cheers

We often receive payments
We often receive payments from abroad with Paypal. It costs a bit (though they do a reduced fee for non-profits), and they can't include gift aid, but of course if the donors are not UK taxpayers they wouldn't be eligible to make the donation using gift aid.
