We would like to once more thank those who donated to our initial Crowdfunder that secured the funds we needed to start-up and begin serving our local and global community.
Since that fundraiser ended, we have had several requests from people to know how they can donate.
For a few reasons, we decided to switch to a different fundraising platform, and that option is now open. We have plans for a few other options as well and will update this page as those become available.
JustGiving
This is our preferred method of receiving donations, as it manages any GiftAid from UK tax payers on our behalf. This platform allows for one-time or monthly donations in multiple currencies, including crypto. It also allows supporters to create their own fundraisers for SOK.
As you give, we would encourage you to choose the option to share your information with SOK, which should allow us to see your email address so we can contact you without going through the platform.
Learn more or donate on our JustGiving page.
PayPal
We are aware of this option and are going through the process of having it set up. We will update this section when it is ready.
Bank Transfer
We will happily accept donations any way you choose to make them, and we know that this is sometimes a preference for UK donors especially. However, bank transfers make claiming GiftAid more difficult, as well as the process of acknowledging your gift. Additionally, we cannot provide any follow-up rewards to those who donate this way.
If you would still prefer to donate through a direct transfer rather than the other options above, please email us as sok@sokshetland.org and we will provide guidance.
