Suggested donation amounts
The Fundraise Up platform features functionality, known as machine learning, that can suggest a donation amount to you, based on analysis of publicly available data related to your location, browser type and device, and website activity and any previous donations made to Suffolk Libraries through Fundraise Up. This information is only ever used anonymously and in ways that cannot identify any individual.
We use this service in our legitimate interest and to support our charitable work. Any suggested donation amount can be ignored. There is no automatic decision making involved in this activity.
Fees explained
Suffolk Libraries deducts the following:
- 1.4% fee + 20p processing fee from your donation to help cover transaction costs and keep our online donation service secure, and
- An option to deduct an application fee of 18p per transaction
