Donating to a Fundraiser in a Different Currency

Donating to a Fundraiser in a Different Currency

GiveSendGo hosts fundraisers from around the world, and generosity knows no borders. You can donate to any fundraiser regardless of where you're located. Here's what to expect when the fundraiser's currency differs from yours.

How Currency Works on GiveSendGo

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

GiveSendGo does not display a conversion to your local currency during checkout. Your card or bank will convert the amount to your local currency at the exchange rate applied at the time of the transaction.

Check the Rate Before You Donate

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

Enter the fundraiser'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.

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.
