Donations

Buddhafield is a not-for-profit organisation that raises funds by putting on a Festival, running a field Cafe, requesting donations from people attending our Retreats and running appeals. Some of our supporters make one-off donations, others set up regular Standing Orders and a few help us with private loans. We depend on the generosity of retreatants and volunteers to be able to keep our programme going.

Donations of any amount, large or small would be gratefully accepted.

Standing Orders

Standing orders are a great way to contribute a regular amount towards our projects, it doesn't matter how small or large, every bit helps.

Gift Aid

If you are a UK tax payer, donating through Gift Aid means we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. To do this, simply select the 'I want to Gift Aid my donation' option when donating.

Chuffed Donations FAQ

There are a few things on chuffed page that might not clear on first use: here's some tips to help you navigate the options, written in a 'Frequently Asked Questions' style:

  • I cannot see the option to not 'give an extra tip' to chuffed, is that an option?

    Yes, in the options select 'Other' and then set the value to 0 (zero).

  • If I switch off the 'Show my name on the supporters tab' option, will you know that the donation is from me?

    Yes, our private view of the donation information will always show us who it is from. The choice here is about if you would like your name on the public list, or if you would like the public list of supporters to simply say 'Anonymous' instead.

  • How will you know if my donation is connected to something specific?

    There is box on the form, just before the Payment Details section, where you can let us know if your donation is related to a course, event or specific offering from Buddhafield: e.g. the name of a retreat.
