No. The prices are the same in the retail or online. In fact, some retailers give exclusive 'Internet-only' discounts, special offers and even money saving 'eVouchers' to our members, which enable you to save money, as well as raising funds for your favourite charity or cause.

YES. Every retailer listed on our site offers a secure and approved payment process. You are linked directly to the retailer via our site, so your transaction is direct with them for payment processing and delivery of the goods you purchase.

The retailer’s overhead costs are much lower for online shopping sales, which allow them to pay such commissions. They are happy to help support charities and good causes too.

We use proven and existing technology that tracks your purchase with a tracking code. If you cancel your order or return your goods the system will drop your commission and it will not show on your member page

When nominating any registered charity then that charity will get 100% of the commission we receive, without deductions from us and without any overriders (hidden commissions). With some categories such as mobile phones and insurance there is a cash value. If a retailer offers more than one donation, or if there is any special information about the retailer, please click the image.

As soon as cleared funds have been received then they are automatically transferred within 10 days, the only delay will be if your chosen charity hasn't given us their bank details. You can view all commission and see how much you have donated in your members login.

Apart from our own internal controls an Independent Financial Committee (IFC) oversees receipts and payments to charities. The IFC also oversees our operational costs. You can read about the IFC on the About Us web page.

In addition to the work that All4charities does through this website, we wish also to donate key streams of income that are received by us and to be then placed within a Members Voting Programme for further distribution to charities. For example we receive interest from bank deposits, as well as additional income from certain retailers that operate higher tiered commission rates – meaning a higher commission is given because turnover exceeded certain parameters, the rounding down of pence when allocated to the members account (fractions of a penny can add up) as well as the possibility of any untracked income or closed account. 100% of this extra income is therefore passed into a Members Voting Programme account. Members are periodically asked, should they wish to participate, to firstly vote upon choosing a list of charities from those listed charities on the website, and then secondly to vote upon that list as to which charity they would like to see receive the extra funds (one member one vote). The resulting votes cast will then determine the amount of distribution to each charity, according to the percentage split amongst the charities. In addition there will be advertising income, for which 75% of such income will also be put to the members to vote on within that account. The remaining 25% is retained to go towards operating costs. As a member you can vote for your chosen charity to receive additional monies, but we do ask that you select an alternative charity in order to help spread the funds to smaller charities.

NO. You have not received the income, nor are you due to pay tax on it, therefore you cannot claim tax relief (or gift aid). All4Charities has acted as your agent to collect the commission and then paid it to charity on your behalf. Because we pass 100% to charity there is no tax to pay.

None whatsoever.

Yes. You can switch to a different charity within your membership account at anytime. The commission income derived will be posted to your account that was associated at the time of the order being processed. When you nominate a new charity then future income will go to that organisation. In the event that you wish to operate with two charities simultaneously by dedicated commission to both then you can do this by setting up a new membership but this must be a different email address.

Affiliate commission programmes are not new. Amazon.com for example has over one million affiliates and they all link back to Amazon.com website. Each affiliate collecting a commission of between 5%-10%, subject to product inclusion in the programme, turnover or delivered orders in a given period. Some websites actually hide an admin fee within the commission and advertise lower commission rates, whereas all4charities passes on 100% of the commission. We have linked with hundreds of major retailers in the UK, for which a commission is then collected from each order that is tracked individually with special coding. 100% of the commission income is then passed on to a charity of the members’ choosing.

Some retailers pay a higher commission rate when greater sales are achieved in any given period. Examples are; EBay pay 30% commission based on turnover of up to 1,000 pounds per month and rises to 60% on sales of over 500,000 pounds. Additional tiered new user income is given that is worth from 8 to 11 pounds applies too. Kuoni Travel offers per month: 0 - 5 bookings get 3% 5 - 10 bookings get 4% 10+ bookings get 5% commission. This programme will even saves a charity from undertaking their own programme, by simply directing their members to us and nominating their charity. Charities that may well have a programme to collect retailers’ commission will not have the advantage of maximising income from higher commission rates or tiered higher volume percentages. Some tiered commission rates given, by retailers, will show retrospectively on a members account when moving to higher tiers, but not all. Those that do not show are regarded as untracked commission income and passed onto charities on the voting members programme, so all commission is accountable and passed onto charity.

We regret that we are unable to include many companies trading online in the affiliate programme at this time. If you feel that charities may benefit from inclusion of your favourite online retailer then please do let us know and we will contact them for inclusion in this site. Please note that some retailers may have a policy of not allowing fundraising programmes to be included in their affiliate programmes.

No, you do not need to alter any browser settings to use All4charities. If cookies are disabled, you can enable them, since the majority of retailers allow purchases made up to 30 days later from when you click the link within the All4charities website.

We offer absolute transparency in all our operations, which will all be visible on the website. In fact, we do not take any commission or overrider (hidden kickbacks) from the retailer, so the full 100% commission income that is received is then paid to the members’ favourite charities in the UK. The Co-Op bank in the UK has kindly offered us free banking services. Income, such as deposit interest and unallocated bonus tier commissions that cannot be allocated to a specific charity, is passed onto charities on a members’ rotating voting system and will be shown on the website. All income will clearly be displayed on the website, so that members will know what apportionment of income is retained by all4charities for operational costs, what will be retained profit and what is donated additionally to charities over and above the commissionable income that all4charities receive.

The partners are not expecting to make money in the first 3-5 years. To ensure that in the future all4charities can be self supporting and expand as a viable business we allow sponsored link search advertising. We will donate all income from this revenue source, according to the votes cast by the members in favour of the members approved list of charities that changes periodically, after operational costs are taken into account. Operational costs are overseen by the Independent Financial Committee <a href="/ifc.aspx" title="Independent Financial Committee">(IFC)</a>. We will keep members fully informed on the website about income and what are our operational costs at all times. In the fullness of time we will include additional programmes that will also be beneficial to charitable causes, as well as putting to members profitable programmes that will generate additional income for charities, whilst also providing us with income to expand the organisation. All such programmes will be detailed on the website in due course.

Being a registered charity would involve us in seeking donations, grants and generally raising funds to support the programme, which we wish to avoid, in preference to being self supporting financially and profitable in the longer term as a social enterprise. We will make it clear to all concerned that we are not a charity, and do not seek to have charitable status. Our purpose is to provide a service that enables individuals to increase their charitable giving and charities with a new stream of income. Most importantly the partners are intent that the programme will generate considerable additional funding for charities that is in excess of the 100% commissionable income they will receive from online sales. Like you, the member, we are supporting charities, so that with our skills it enables you to raise more funds, which is our contribution to charities generally, rather than donating to a specific charity. This is why the charity commission has allowed us to register and u

Set up by 4 partners, whose details are on About Us as a Social Enterprise. All of whom have given their skills and time to develop this website.

A social enterprise is a business that is set up to tackle social or environmental needs using business methods. Many commercial businesses would consider themselves to have social objectives, but social enterprises are distinctive because their social or environmental purpose is central to what they do. Rather than maximising shareholder value their main aim is to generate profit to further their social and environmental goals. All4charites seeks to facilitate charities with a source of commission income without allocating an operational cost as a deduction and to provide additional funding. All4charities is a member of Social Enterprise Coalition.

Operational funding is given by the partners, and underwritten by Bruce Gibson, until such times as it is fully financially self supporting. The cost of building the website has been funded by the much appreciated work of Mission Communications Ltd. Internal controls ensure that the money we collect on your behalf reaches your chosen charity. To further ensure that what we say is what we do there is an ‘Independent Financial Committee’ (IFC) to oversee the internal controls for the monies collected for and paid to charity. This Committee is made up of financial specialists that have no financial interest in all4charities, details of whom are shown on the ‘About Us’ web page.

Yes. Providing you meet the right criteria of volume, and are not an individual user, your organisation can have its own direct account, so that you will receive on behalf of your charity or cause 100% of the search and sponsored link income. Please note this service is NOT available to individual users. Any individual signing up will have their account deleted.

Yes, as many people as possible are most welcome.

Unless you are a charity and have opened an account to deal direct to receive 100% of the income then such income will go into a general members voting programme that serves to benefit chariites generally. Setting up the tracking for small sums means setting a minimum cash level for transfer. We think it’s better to allow the members to vote on additional charities to receive such extra income.

Revenue will be shown clearly on the website and in due course on the membership login page.
