Contributing financially to the GAGB

[Matrix]

I didn't want to take the original thread off topic so I thought I would start a new one to ask the following question.

In that thread StuartP said

- Improve the financial standing of the GAGB to allow it to cover it's running costs (YES we do have running costs, covered, only just by donations from a few members)
.

So as I already contribute to GC via my Premium Membership I would also like to help the GAGB so how do I do that ?

Cheers

We're currently able to accept donations using the following paypal address:
paypal@gagb.org.uk

Please include a note in the donation if you're happy for us to list you as a donator to the GAGB.

We have to pay fee's on donations received.

In the past 12 months, we have received a total of £8 in donations, from 2 people.

Not necessarily. There are radio buttons on Paypal for charges paid by Recipient or by Payer - so as long as people select the right one you shouldn't have to pay the charges. Unfortunately 'Recipient Pays' appears to be the default

Is it possible to set up a direct debit/subscription?

I would rather pay a couple of £s a month rather than have to remember to make a larger payment every 6/12 months!

You don't notice it that way either... also means you don't have PayPal fees.

The GAGB dosn't have a financial situation that would allow direct debit, the best we could do currently would be to offer a recurring payment using paypal.

One thing we could investigate, is allowing contributions by standing order (seems awfully old fashioned).

It's something I'm keen to improve, any comments and suggestions welcome.

Cheers

I would prefer a Direct Debit or standing order option as well but if your happy for a paypal payment in the meantime thats OK with me.

Has the committee ever thought about GAGB memorabilia, tracking items, calendars, cake recipes,, etc?
