2. Charities

2.1 Charities (and other not-for-profit organisations[1]) are listed on the Website at Work for Good's discretion. We do not accept any responsibility for a Charity’s activities. You should be satisfied that the charities you wish to raise funds for are suitable to receive your donations.

2.2 Recipient Charities may use your donation for their general purposes.

2.3 We have an agreement in place with each Charity listed which permits us to collect donations on its behalf.

2.4 As a business that is raising funds for a charity, you will be what is known as a ‘commercial participator’ under the Charities Act 1992. A 'commercial participator' is defined as 'someone who carries on for gain a business and in the course of that business engages in any promotional venture in the course of which it is represented that charitable contributions are to be given or applied for the benefit of any charitable institution(s).’ You can find more information about this in the guidance note “What is Commercial Participation?” at Schedule 3.

2.5 As a commercial participator, the Charities Acts 1992 (as amended by the Charities Act 2016) requires you to comply with additional Commercial Participation Terms in connection with the Charity you are raising money for, which are incorporated into these Terms & Conditions at Schedule 1.

2.6 As part of the Commercial Participation Terms, and in line with charity law, you must make a solicitation statement at the point of sale e.g. on your website, marketing materials or on/ next to your products (“the Statement”), which includes the following information:

2.6.1 The name of the charity you are supporting; and

2.6.2 The amount you are donating e.g. £ or % xx of every sale OR £ or % xx of sales from a specific product or service (and which product(s) or service (s) this donation relates to). Note that if you are donating a percentage of profits then you must provide an estimate of what that donation will be.

2.7 The Statement should match the information that you enter on the Website when registering a donation with Work for Good. You should also mention that the donation is being facilitated via Work for Good.

3. Work for Good Fees

3.1 Signing up to the Service is free and permits you to build a Business “Page” on the Website (in accordance with clause 6), and use the Work for Good Logo and promotional materials (in accordance with clause 7).

3.2 The recipient Charity will be charged a fee of 5% + VAT of the gross amount of the donation, which shall be deducted from the donation (“Service Fee”), along with a payment service transaction fee (“Transaction Fee”). The donation will be processed by Stripe. The Transaction Fee is charged at 1.4% of the payment plus 20p per transaction. From 1st July 2022, Stripe fees on card transactions between the UK and the EEA [0] will be 2.5% of the payment plus 20p per transaction and on other international card transactions 2.9% of the payment plus 20p per transaction.

3.3 We will still be entitled to charge a Charity the Service Fee in the event that you pay the donation directly to the Charity rather than via the Work for Good platform.

4. Unauthorised card use

4.1 When a donation is charged to your card, the transaction is final and not disputable unless there is proven unauthorised use of your payment card. If you become aware of fraudulent use of your card, or if it is lost or stolen, you must notify your card provider in accordance with its reporting rules.

5.3 When you pass your donation to Work for Good, we will hold it as agent for the relevant Charity in a bank account in which all charity donations are held separately from the funds of Work for Good. We will then pass the money directly to the Charity at the beginning of the next month after receipt, minus the Service Fee and Transaction Fee payable by the Charity.

5.4 Once paid, the donation cannot be refunded other than in exceptional circumstances at Work for Good’s sole discretion, for example where an error has occurred.

5.5 Work for Good is not responsible for any dissatisfaction you may have regarding the Charity's use of any donation you may make through the Service. Please note that the recipient organisation reserves the right to use your donation for its general purposes, rather than particular campaigns, purposes or activities.

5.6 It may be possible for Gift Aid to be claimed on the donation by the Charity if you are a UK taxpayer and operate as a sole trader or part of a partnership (rather than a registered company). Upon sign-up, you will be asked if you are eligible for Gift Aid, and if so, will have the option to complete a Gift Aid declaration in favour of the relevant Charity, which Work for Good will send to the Charity on your behalf. It is your responsibility to ascertain whether you qualify for Gift Aid entitlement, to update Work for Good if your Gift Aid eligibility changes, and to ensure that the information within the declaration is accurate. Work for Good excludes all liability in respect of your Gift Aid declaration. If you have any doubts as to your status we strongly recommend you seek advice from your own advisor(s) or HMRC.

5.7 Work for Good cannot provide tax advice or financial advice and you should not rely on the information given in these Terms & Conditions or on the Website to determine the accounting, tax, or financial consequences of making a donation to charity. We strongly recommend that you consult your own accountant or financial advisor to understand any accounting or taxation issues that may be relevant to you.

Schedule 3 What is "Commercial Participation"? (see also Schedule 1)

What is a Commercial Participator?

Businesses that encourage the purchase of goods or services on the basis that a proportion of the proceeds will go to one or more charities, or that a donation will be made, are known as “commercial participators”. A commercial participator will not be connected with the charity or charities receiving the proceeds or donations nor will it be a fundraising business. As a commercial participator the business must comply with certain requirements under charity law.

What legislation applies?

Commercial participators will need to comply with the following legislation: • Charities Act 1992; • Charitable Institutions (Fund­ Raising) Regulations 1994; and • Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016. You will also need to comply with the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice. The relevant section that relates to commercial participators can be found here: https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/l9-0-commercial-participators/

How can my business comply?

As a commercial participator, your business must do the following in order to comply with the above legislation:

  • Enter into a written agreement with the charity ­ the law stipulates that the commercial participator cannot make representations that donations will be made to a charity unless it does so in accordance with an agreement between the commercial participator and the charity. This is why your business is asked to agree to the Commercial Participation Terms when registering with Work for Good.
  • Keep records of the donations that have been made to the charity and allow the charity to inspect these records upon request.
  • Protect vulnerable people and the public by not using any fundraising techniques that are unreasonably persistent, place undue pressure on a person to give money, or that result in unreasonable intrusion into a person’s privacy, and to allow the charity to check and monitor your compliance with this.
  • Make/display a clear “commercial participation statement” each time that you represent to a member of the public that a proportion of the proceeds of a product or service will be donated to charity, or that a donation will be made to a named charity/ charities in connection with the sale. Further information about these requirements can be found on the Fundraising Regulator’s website: https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/l9-0-commercial-participators/

Commercial Participation Statements

A commercial participation statement must clearly indicate:

a) the name of the charity or charities that will benefit from the promotion, if more than one charity will benefit from the promotion, the proportions in which they are to benefit; and

b) the notifiable amount that will be donated (e.g. the actual amount to be donated if known, or the estimated amount and how that is calculated).

The form of the statement will depend upon the type of service or promotion that you are offering, but should always include the following information:

  • The name of the charity you are supporting; and
  • The amount you are donating e.g. £ or % xx of every sale OR £ or % xx of sales from a specific product or service (and which product(s) or service (s) this donation relates to) Note that if you are donating a percentage of profits then you must provide an estimate of what that donation will be.

The statement should match the information that you enter on the Website when registering a donation with Work for Good.

Legal Compliance

Failing to make a commercial participation statement is a criminal offence with a maximum fine of £5,000. We are unable to provide advice to your business about its compliance with the legislation that governs commercial participation arrangements. Please note that the above example statements are for guidance only and may need to be adapted to fit with the particular arrangements of the Promotion that your Business is undertaking. We do not accept any liability for the use of these statements and recommend that you take your own legal advice where needed.

[1] Other not-for-profit organisations that meet certain eligibility criteria may be permitted to sign up to the Service at Work for Good’s sole discretion.
