Steps to Making a Donation to Friends of BCF

Make a Donation - Local Bermuda Donors

SIMPLY CLICK "GIVE NOW" TO MAKE A DONATION TO A DONOR FUND AT BCF OR TO A LOCAL NONPROFIT USING A CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD.

BCF only accepts gifts for further credit to other local nonprofits through the online "GIVE NOW" facility.

If you are a local donor wishing to make an off-line donation (bank transfer, cash or cheque) to a local nonprofit, contact the nonprofit directly.

Are you a local donor wishing to transact offline?

If you do not wish to use the GiveBermuda.org online payment facility AND you are a Bermuda-based donor* wishing to contribute to a Donor Fund held at the Bermuda Community Foundation, you can make your donation by international wire transfer, local bank or cheque.  Your donation will be further credited to the specified Donor Fund at BCF.  Please follow these steps:

  1. You (the donor) complete the online gift intention form and submit.
  2. You (the donor) will receive an auto-generated email with the available payment methods for you to make payment. 
  3. BCF confirms receipt of funds, verifies the charitable status of the proposed recipient and performs any other due diligence required
  4. BCF will credit the fund account and send you a gift acknowledgement letter
  5. Your gift transaction will be recorded on the Donor Fund's account statement. The fund representatives may also send you their thanks directly.
