Did I do a wrong thing by donating?

[DuggeesWoggle]

I see the crowd funding thread has been deleted. Message from MNHQ re not allowing campaigns not from registered charities etc.

Have I been had? Now panicking about doxxing etc. I just wanted to help. I'm not that savvy really

I love PayPal. Remembering those three little numbers on the back of my bank card is just too much hard work...

It's the security thing for me too. I don't like getting my bank card out on the tube but using PayPal in public is no problem.

I can’t wait for next season of handmaids tale, I think we are going to see the start of the revolution!

Oh sorry, wrong thread!

Silly me!

Blessed be the fruit loops!

Haha Yes!!!!

Oh that Haha was supposed to be your name Empress

Genuinely dont know what happened there!!

No problem, funny things happen sometimes!

I'm confused. I Googled fair play for women and found their website but didn't see anything about a specific crowd funding project - just normal running cost donation options. Is there an additional keyword anyone could recommend or would that be against mn rules?

Their specific crowdfunder right now is called Hands off my Rights.

And is this a specific crowdfunder page on the fair play for women website (I can only find a generic "donate" page without specific targets on it) or a specific "Hands off my Rights" page on a crowdfunder platform (I can only find much older pages from earlier in the campaign)

It's over £5000 now.

Do you think people are donating by PayPal to this excellent cause?

I wasn't just being obtuse as a reason to bump the thread - I genuinely wasn't finding the page but it seems the search results on my phone were different. On a pc googling "Hands off my rights crowdfunder" gave the right page as the 4th result but that page is not in the results doing the same search on my phone. When I reformatted Hands off my rights as a hash tag (spaces between words removed, # at the front) along with the word crowdfunder - then my phone finally gave me the page.

.

I remember the thread that prompted the banning of Crowdfunding.

It was very upsetting for a lot of people.

Very wise decision to ban.

Hello.

Um... I have £20 that I’d like to donate to a good cause. Any suggestions?

Btw thanks Nic & all the women out campaigning, you are all incredible

I mentioned to Nic that while people can find the crowdfunder by googling crowdfunder hands off my rights, it could be useful to have a link from the fair play for women homepage too so I think they're going to have a look at that.

The crowdfunders that manage to winkle money out me are the ones that make it really easy, don't require registration, provide a Paypal 'Donate' button etc.. You have to strike the second someone's attention has been grabbed. If I have to register and have a password and login and blah blah blah I just close the browser and drift away.

Some great feedback here. We'll embed a widget onto the website for the crowdfunder so people know its linked to us officially. Lots of people also donate via paypal directly - it avoid the crowdfunder fees so we get more of the donation.

All the money we raise at the moment is being ploughed into the consultation campaign. We've just ordered another 200,000 prints and we working on loads of other resources that will be out any day now.

You are doing excellent work. Thank you.

I did donate yesterday to a good cause like this. I think it may well have been this particular crowdfunder. “hands off my rights” certainly rings a bell.

I have my CVC number memorised, but I certainly do like using PayPal to donate/buy things/send money to people.

Looked at the website, and consequently completed the consultation.
