KIND - Kids International
Net Donations - was set up to help children's
charities around the world; and to help their supporters. We noticed that many
of the 'Give as you shop' and free donations sites don't allow charities' supporters
to decide which charity they want to support. At most, they might allow you
to choose the type of charity. This means that many smaller charities are overlooked
in favour of a small number of larger, already well-funded charities.
KIND aims to allow even the smallest charity or non-profit to raise funds, since if you have only one supporter, the funds raised by that supporter can go directly to you. We will accept nominations by charities and supporters.
KIND is an entirely volunteer-run site and will not deduct any expenses from money raised. 100% of funds raised will be given directly to the children's charities listed. This works because Kids International is a co-operative group made up of a consortium of groups that support children in different ways; every organization that becomes a beneficiary also becomes a member of the group itself, and there are no staff members involved except for those of the consitutent groups, each of whom contributes time to the site for free.
If a charity or its supporters select it, then all funds raised during that visit will go to that charity.
You
can nominate a charity using the form provided - please list as many details
as you can so we can find the charity you want to support. If you select 'All
recipient charities', or 'All recipient UK charities', however, we will divide
the funds only between those charities that conform to certain standards -
for example, those charities or non-profits that can prove they are officially registered and monitored, have a transparent accounting
process, and that can show that they will use funds to benefit children and
not to further any other agendas - political, or religious, for example.
Please email us if you have suggestions
for shops that you regularly use that we could include on our links
pages, or if you can suggest any ways we could improve this site.
Thanks for your support!
