Hello,
as some of you may know, we work with Benevity, which give some funds to us via the UK Online Giving Foundation.
Each year, we need to verify ourselves. So far, we had to send them just our nonprofit confirmation, but this year, they now also ask for (DeepL translated) this with a deadline of July 31.
“To remain eligible for donations, you must confirm that all funds will be used exclusively for charitable purposes under English law.”
“If your organization cannot confirm compliance with the legal definition of charitable purposes in England and Wales, you will no longer be eligible for disbursements through the Benevity platform.”
The UK Charities Act seems a long PDF file, and I wouldn’t lightly confirm our compliance.
Can anyone here help with assessing this?
We can always delist from Benevity, it would not be a major loss of income, but if we can stay there, I’d aim for that, of course.
