What to expect
How does giving through GiveBermuda work?
All online donations made through GiveBermuda are received by the Bermuda Foundation and directed, at the donor’s recommendation, to the selected nonprofit organisation, subject to confirmation of the organisation’s good standing.
Donations made by credit card generate an automatic email confirmation at the time the gift is made. Once processed, funds are granted to the recommended nonprofit, typically within two to six weeks, depending on the timing of the donation and processing requirements.
For U.S. taxpayers, eligible donations may be facilitated through the Bermuda Foundation’s U.S. 501(c)(3) partner, Friends of the Bermuda Foundation, making those gifts tax-deductible in the United States.
GiveBermuda may not be used to sell tickets, products, services, or any items where the donor receives goods or services of market value in return for their donation.
When does my donation reach the organisation I choose?
Donations made through GiveBermuda are processed as part of the Bermuda Foundation’s regular reconciliation and grantmaking cycle.
Once a donation has been received, the recipient organisation is notified and asked to complete a short grant acceptance process, including confirming gift details and banking information for electronic payment.
Funds are typically paid by online bank transfer within two to six weeks, depending on the timing of the donation and completion of the required documentation.
Are there any fees when I donate through GiveBermuda?
A 5% administrative fee is charged on each donation to cover credit card processing and platform administration costs. Further details are available here.
At the point of giving, donors may choose to make an additional contribution to help offset these costs.
Why might an organisation not be listed on GiveBermuda?
Only organisations with current Bermuda registered charitable status are eligible to be featured on GiveBermuda.
In addition, organisations must apply and complete the eligibility process in order to be listed. Not all eligible organisations may choose to do so.
GiveBermuda does not generally profile religious organisations operating primarily for religious purposes. However, some community programmes operated through a religious organisation may be considered on a case-by-case basis where they serve the wider community.
If a nonprofit you wish to support is not currently listed, we encourage you to contact the organisation directly and invite them to explore creating a profile.
