About giving
How can I give money?
Online from the Give page, in naira by card, bank transfer or USSD, or in dollars or pounds by card, as a one-off or monthly gift. Or by direct bank transfer to the account on the bank transfer page. You can choose which programme your gift supports, or leave it to where it is needed most.
What non-cash items can I give?
Work tools and equipment for carpentry, farming and tailoring; gadgets such as laptops and projectors; vehicles; clothes and shoes; educational and agricultural resources; food in bulk for the kitchen. Tell us what you have and we will say honestly whether we can use it.
Can I include GAMAID in my will?
Yes. A gift in your will, or a charitable trust, can fund a programme for years. The gifts-in-wills page has suggested wording for your solicitor, and we are glad to talk it through in confidence.
How do receipts work?
Every online gift is receipted automatically by email within minutes, quoting a reference beginning GAM-. Bank transfers are receipted once we match them: send us your transfer reference from the bank transfer page and the receipt follows within a few working days. If a receipt has not arrived, email us with the amount and date and a person will reply.
How do I check that a message is really from GAMAID?
Check it against the verify page, which lists every official channel: our website, email, phone and WhatsApp number, bank account and social handles. GAMAID never asks for money by direct message, and never through an individual’s personal account. If a request does not match that page, do not pay, and tell us.
Can I choose which programme my gift goes to?
Yes. Every gift can be designated to any of our programmes, or marked “where most needed”. Designated gifts are spent only on that programme. If a programme is fully funded or closes, we contact you before redirecting your gift.
Can I give from the United States or elsewhere abroad?
Yes. GAMAID Foundation is registered in the United States as GAMAID, and US donors can give through PayPal, Zelle or GoFundMe. From anywhere else, the give panel accepts US dollars and pounds sterling by card, one-off or monthly, and sends a receipt in the same way.
Is GAMAID a registered charity?
GAMAID Foundation is a registered non-profit in Nigeria, run from Uyo, and is registered in the United States as GAMAID, which receives US gifts through PayPal, Zelle and GoFundMe. Registration numbers are published on the impact page as they are confirmed.
