International Fees

If you would like to request a donation overseas, an additional deduction of 1% will apply. This fee is applied at the point of payment to the recipient.

If an overseas charity is not yet registered with Stewardship, the following one-off set-up fee will also be deducted. We’ll validate the charity to ensure that they are eligible to receive funds.

 

Where is the charity registered?*   Set-up fee (including VAT)
 
Category A (country score 60+): e.g. USA, Australia, Belgium, Norway   £90
Category B (country score 30-59): e.g. Argentina, Bulgaria, India, South Africa   £120
Category C (country score 0-30): e.g. Iraq, North Korea, Venezuela, Zimbabwe   £180

 

*Categories are based on country scores allocated by the Corruption Perceptions Index.

 

 

Additional Fees

We may charge additional fees for bespoke philanthropy advice or where we incur additional costs for processing unusual or exceptional transactions. These may include:

  • For gifts to support overseas churches and charities not registered in the UK, additional fees may be applied if significant due diligence is required at a later date.
  • To receive gifts by cheque, or incoming gifts/transfers made from other Donor Advised Funds or similar providers, we apply a minimum fee of £5.

Where appropriate, fees are subject to VAT at the current applicable rate.

Fees may be reviewed from time to time and are subject to change, but only after prior notice has been given.
