Hope Ofiriha wants fundraising and donating to be simple, and, so far as possible, tax-effective. Since donations made directly to Hope Ofiriha may not be tax deductible in your country of residence, we have partnered with several organizations to provide our supporters with tax deductibility in the United Kingdom and United States. Three of our partners also provide fundraising help—Ammado, GlobalGiving, and GlobalGiving UK—which benefit supporters from all countries.
If You Do Not Live in the United Kingdom or United States
The fastest way to donate is by picking either the Ammado or PayPal option on our donation menu at the top right of the page (below the midwife holding the baby) and clicking donate.
You can also send your donations by check to:
Hope Ofiriha
Theresegt 46 209
Oslo, Norway 0168
If you are fundraising on our behalf, you may also want to set up your own Hope Ofiriha Ammado fundraiser page, GlobalGiving gift registery or fundraiser page, or GlobalGiving UK gift registery, fundraiser page, or giving group. They make fundraising easy (no cash or checks to chase), safe (the money is sent securely to Hope Ofiriha), and more trustworthy to donors (they can be rest assured that Hope Ofiriha and our projects have been vetted and are being monitored).
If You Live in the United Kingdom
To donate from the United Kingdom, please pick a Hope Ofiriha project on GlobalGiving UK and then make your donation. Right now, only our Mairo Primary School Project is on GlobalGiving UK, but we plan to add more projects soon.
If you are fundraising on our behalf, you may also want to set up your own Hope Ofiriha GlobalGiving UK gift registery, fundraiser page, or giving group. They make fundraising easy (no cash or checks to chase), safe (the money is sent securely to Hope Ofiriha), and more trustworthy to donors (they can be rest assured that our projects have been vetted and are being monitored).
If You Live in the United States
We have four U.S. partners helping us raise U.S. tax-deductible donations.
- ChooseAneed.org is a church-based 501(c)3 providing relief for the poor, distressed, or under-priviledged. It uses PayPal for electronic payment processing and also accepts checks. When you make a donation to our Onura Primary School or Pigs for Education Project, we receive the full donation less bank transfer fees. The administrative fee (a little more than 1 percent) is raised separately. ChooseAneed.org is one of our two U.S. partners who do not charge us any administrative fees for processing donations.
- GlobalGiving is a 501(c)3 enabling donors to give to more than 1,000 vetted and monitored grassroots charity projects around the world. It accepts credit/debit cards, checks, PayPal, bank wire transfers, stock transfers, and private equity shares and charges a 15 percent administrative fee. If you are fundraising on our behalf, you may want to use GlobalGiving to set up your own Hope Ofiriha gift registery or fundraiser page. It makes fundraising easy (no cash or checks to chase), safe (the money is sent securely to Hope Ofiriha), and more trustworthy to donors (they can be rest assured that our projects have been vetted and are being monitored).
- Omprakash Foundation is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) linking donors with health, education, and environmental projects around the world. It uses PayPal for electronic payment processing and also accepts checks and wire transfers. When it receives a donation earmarked for Hope Ofiriha, we receive the full donation less bank transfer fees. Omprakash Foundation is one of our two U.S. partners who do not charge us any administrative fees for processing donations. We also use it to process child sponsorship for U.S. donors.
