More about donations #
Donating to another Fund #
You can choose to support another Fund at Foundation SA at any time, either by making a direct donation via our website, or requesting a transfer from your Fund. You can request a transfer from the Grants tab in your Fund Portal.
An easy way to give with impact is a donation to Foundation SA. Informed by community, Foundation SA has a small selection of Themed funds that are making grants direct to community. These include: Neighbourhood Grants, Climate & Nature and Disaster recovery. See our themed funds here.
Processing fees #
When donating online, donors have the option to cover the surcharge costs incurred by Foundation SA. These fees are the actual costs of processing payments that are charged to us by our banking provider. Foundation SA is a not-for-profit organisation and opting to cover the surcharge is a small act of generosity that ensures the full value of the donation is received.
Refund requests #
Once a gift has been made to Foundation SA and a receipt has been issued, the gift is the property of the Foundation. We understand that donations can be made in error and endeavour to accommodate refund requests in accordance with the Request for Return of Donations Policy (available on request). The policy states that if a donation has been made in error, the donor must request its return within four weeks and must co-sign a letter with the Foundation confirming that the receipt issued for the donation has been cancelled. For further information on the circumstances under which the return of a donation can be requested, please contact us.
Other asset types Foundation SA can accept #
In addition to cash, Foundation SA can accept gifts in a variety of forms such as property, trading stock and equities. If you have any questions about the type of asset you would like to gift or how you can gift it to your Fund, please contact us. Further information can be found in the Donation Acceptance Policy.
