Thank you for visiting this page. We run the charity completely
free of charge - every penny donated goes directly to help
the children with the exception of some very minor expenses.
The
number of ways you can donate below makes it look like we
are a big charity. We are not, but we have tried to "set
up everything" to make it as easy for people to donate
as possible.
 YOU
CAN MAKE A DONATION ONLINE NOW
Children
of Bahia has teamed up with justgiving.com so anyone wishing
to help can now donate money on-line using your credit card.
You can also make regular monthly donations automatically.
This
is the best way for us to receive money as any tax rebate
is automatically added thus saving us having to make a submission
to the Inland Revenue for Gift Aid for each donation. That
means we get another 28% or 40% on top of your donation
automatically if you qualify for gift aid, which you do
if you pay tax in the UK.
You
can now have your own sponsorship page on-line!!
You
can have your own fund rauising page on Justgiving.com
- so anyone wishing to help can now raise money quickly
and easily online with their own personalised webpage.
You can set up your own web page about your sponsorship
event and friends and family will be able to donate online
– so no more running around with paper sponsorship
forms, or chasing cheques and cash after your event. To
set up your page today visit http://www.justgiving.com/childrenofbahia
or call 0800 028 6183 for more details.
This
is a really great way to raise money. Think of something
to do, like a sponsored walk or event of some kind. Then
set up your free page and e-mail all your friends, colleagues
and family to ask them to sponsor you.
By cheque
or postal order
Please send
a cheque or postal order made payable to Children of Bahia

Please note:
We are unable to accept non UK cheques without notification.
USA cheques can be banked but cost US$35 to bank in the
UK bank. We hope to have US banking facilities soon, and
to be able to issue IRS 501 recipts to US donors but it
is all a bit complecated to set up - were doing our best
!! :)
Make a regular
donation by Direct Debit
 A
small donation each month will make a huge and direct difference.
If we can get 200 people to donate £10 a month each
it will pay the running costs of several projects we are
trying to help.

You can also
make regular donations billed monthly to your credit card
by using the JustGiving
system.
Legacies
A legacy to a
charity in your will is a lasting memorial to your generosity
and concern for others. Many charities rely heavily on legacy
donations to fund their work.
There are several
ways to leave legacies to people or organisations in your
will, and any legacy you leave to charity is free from inheritance
tax.
Your solicitor
will be able to best advise you how to do this, however
if you do have any questions please contact
us for further information.
Donate something
other than money
We have had some
fabulous donations of Artwork, Dolls and other valuable
items which we auction to raise funds. If you have something
of value to donate we would be delighted to receive it and
you can rest assured we will do our utmost to realise the
best price for it.
We are also awaiting
notification that you can donate money from your ebay auctions
to Children of Bahia. More on this soon.
Babies
clothes, bottles, food etc.
Many thanks for
all the fabulous donations of clothes, nappies, babies bottles,
pencils , colouring books etc. We have now stopped sending
aid parcels out as it is not cost effective unless someone
is traveling over. However, if you are going to visit do
please take anything you think might be useful - we can
arrange to have it collected from your hotel or when you
visit one of the projects. .
