@Fruityful No - when you go to donate it asks for the amount in US dollars. Some people have cards that dont charge a fee for dollar transactions but some do. Also means you need to think about exchange rates when deciding what to give. I've donated to fundraisers in other currencies before and one resulted in questions from the fraud team! It wasnt a massive donation but I guess they suspected that the next such payment would be bigger.

Correct. When setting up a campaign the currency is based on the country in which the campaign is located.

Donating to a Campaign in a Different Currency

GiveSendGo hosts campaigns from around the world, and generosity knows no borders. You can donate to any campaign regardless of where you're located.

How Currency Works on GiveSendGo

The donation form displays amounts in the campaign's local currency, the currency of the country where the recipient is based. For example, if you're donating from the UK to a campaign based in Kenya, the amount will appear in Kenyan Shillings (KES).

GiveSendGo does not display a conversion to your local currency during checkout. You'll be charged the equivalent of the amount you enter in your own currency, based on the exchange rate applied by your card or bank at the time of the transaction.

Check the Conversion Rate Before You Donate

To confirm how much you'll be paying in your own currency before completing your donation, use a free online currency converter, such as:
Google Currency Converter
XE

Enter the campaign's displayed amount and select your local currency to see the equivalent.

Conversion Fees

GiveSendGo does not charge currency conversion fees. However, your bank or card provider may apply a foreign transaction fee when processing a payment in a different currency. Check with them directly if you have questions about applicable fees or exchange rates.

When you complete your donation, your card or bank will handle the currency conversion. The amount on your statement will reflect your local currency equivalent at the rate applied at the time of processing.

Thank you for giving across borders. Every donation is a tangible expression of hope reaching someone who needs it. For a full walkthrough of the donation process, see Making a Donation on GiveSendGo.

Good point. My mind didn't go to such dark places and I was thinking mostly in terms of political views which is wider than you'll find in most places online these days which are almost always echo chambers of one kind of another. But yes, child abuse, animal abuse, I don't know if you'd actually be banned for talking about them, but you wouldn't have a happy time there.

On that note, one of the most reprehensible tactics some have used to try and shut down the Farms is the posting of child porn some people have tried to do. Null has actually developed his own software to pre-emptively identify this stuff and report it and made that and some of the other software he has developed available to other site owners. He's also come up with a quite innovative way to do site registrations that preserves anonymity whilst preventing mass sign-ups for purposes of abuse. He had a very interesting thread on it a while back.

He would have been bored with the site (and probably stepped away from it) years ago without all the attacks to shut it down. Thankfully, he's a stubborn bugger. It's interesting what he has developed simply because he won't back down to bullies.

Definite parallels here. All kinds of dirty tricks being played to try and shut down discussion on FWR, up to and including posting CSA images in an attempt to discredit/shut down MN.

Yes. I luckily missed all that (thankfully, I wasn't online when it happened on MN), but it is the same technique to shut down discussion that they don't like. Of course, images now need to be 'approved' before showing to combat these horrific men and their vile posts.

And they want us to believe that they are 'the right side of history'!
