Frequently asked questions
1) Do we collect hardware donations?
No. Donateapc simply puts hardware donors and good causes in touch
with one another. (Hence we do not even come in to contact with
any of the donations.)
2) Can private individuals legitimately request donations
made through Donateapc?
No. We only support 'organisational' good causes. (Individuals
in need may of course benefit but only through an organisation acting
on their behalf.)
3) How do donors ensure that any potential recipient is
a genuine good cause?
In our experience most requests are genuine. However, we do encourage
donors to ask sensible questions such as 'What is the address of
your organisation?' 'What are its objectives?' and so on.
If you have any doubts about the validity of a request consider...
- declining
- following up by, say, seeking a web site, contacting a colleague
of the requester etc.
- if the good cause is said to have charitable status ask for
its charity reference number and check this with the Charity
Commission
- do let us know
