01
Conditions before launch
Confirmed legal entity and bank account, board approval, delegated authorities, payment provider due diligence, fraud controls, privacy notice, donor records, receipts, refunds and financial reconciliation.
02
Use-of-funds clarity
A donation page must distinguish unrestricted support from restricted campaigns, explain whether targets are minimum or aspirational and state what happens if a campaign changes or exceeds its target.
03
Donor information
Collect only what is required for payment, receipt, legal compliance and chosen communication. Card details should be handled by an approved payment provider rather than stored by Ubuntu Gale.
04
Current alternatives
Potential funders and in-kind partners can review programme needs and begin a controlled conversation. This is not a request to transfer funds.
