What is a anonymous donation?

Yes you can make a donation in honour of someone special by simply choosing the “On Behalf of” option to do so. You can choose to let them know by sharing their email and a message for them, we will then send an email to notify them.
However do note that tax deductions will still be made in your name and we will still refer to you if we have any questions or updates about your donation.

Yes, you can! This can be done via our online channel with your Debit/Credit cards or through Online Bank Transfers. You may incur additional fees for overseas bank transfers.
