Our Expenses

At the Gaza Fund, we have a strict 100% Donation Policy.

To ensure this goal, we at The Gaza Fund are tracking all our expenses*, which will be paid for, by us, from our own pocket, rather than the donations received.

Fair Disclosure: We are 100% funded by the founder, a UK Citizen (and HK resident), and do not have access to any external philanthropic donors, governments or groups.

HELP US COVER OUR COSTS

The Gaza Fund has a 100% Donation Policy, with no ifs and buts.

Having said that, delivering aid cost money, ranging from finance, IT to monitoring aid is being properly distributed as well as token payments to volunteers.

Still, our goal is to minimise our expenses to 5%, but not at the expense of turning a blind eye to inefficient distribution or slippage.

To support us therefore, kindly consider adding up to 5% to every donation you make (optional).

Else, we will continue to fund The Gaza Fund out of our own pockets, for as long as we possibly can, iA.

If you wish to donate towards the expenses fund, please click here (quicker response time) or email wutokbong@gmail.com (in Hong Kong).
