Shamaazi is the fundraising platform of Triple Q which works with independent Donor Advised Fund (DAF) partners in each of the countries where our products operate. The Donor Advised Fund (DAF) partners are responsible for receiving charitable donations, administering charitable funds, carrying out appropriate due diligence, claiming Gift Aid or equivalent tax relief where applicable, and making grants in accordance with their charitable objects and legal obligations.
When you donate through MyGiving or one of our products, including MyTenNights, MyTenDays, MyFridays and MyFajr, your donation is processed directly to one of our independent Donor Advised Fund (DAF) partners.
Where possible, grants are made in line with donor recommendations, the DAF's charitable objects and applicable legal obligations.
A fundraising fee applies to donations made through our platforms. This section sets out what those fees are, how they are calculated, and how much of your donation reaches charitable causes.
Your donation: £10.00
Optional donor tip, chosen by you and set to £0.00 in this example: £0.00
Payment processing fee charged by our payment provider, which you can choose to cover: £0.51
Fundraising fee paid to Triple Q by our Donor Advised Fund partner, calculated at 15% of your donation: £1.50
Amount available to the charitable fund: £7.99
Gift Aid is a UK tax relief and applies only to eligible UK donations.
Gift Aid is worth 25p for every £1 you donate, so £2.50 on a £10 donation. Where you make an eligible UK donation and provide a valid Gift Aid declaration, Gift Aid is claimed by The Forever Trust as our UK Donor Advised Fund partner.
You are responsible for confirming that you and your donation meet the applicable Gift Aid eligibility requirements and that your declaration is truthful, accurate and complete.
The administration and subsequent treatment of Gift Aid following a claim is at the discretion of The Forever Trust and may depend on how the associated donation is administered.
A link to this Fees & Charges page appears in the footer of our sites so that you can understand how our fees and funding model work.
Where a donor is going to make a donation, the applicable solicitation statement is displayed at the point of donation, in accordance with the relevant fundraising requirements.
For UK fundraising conducted for the benefit of The Forever Trust, the following solicitation statement applies:
Your donation is secure and goes to support the charitable purposes of our DAF Partner, The Forever Trust, a registered charity in England and Wales (number 1212783). If you express a preference in where your donation is used, The Forever Trust's trustees will take this into account.
This fundraising campaign is conducted by TripleQ Corporation ('TripleQ') for the benefit of The Forever Trust. As remuneration for its fundraising services TripleQ receives 15% of donations received. The remaining 85% of your donation is passed to The Forever Trust. So, for example, out of a donation of £10.00, £8.50 goes to The Forever Trust.
Across our platforms, charitable donations are received directly into an independent Donor Advised Fund (DAF).
This means:
Two deductions apply to your donation: the fundraising fee paid to Triple Q by our Donor Advised Fund partner, calculated as 15% of your donation, and the payment processing fee charged by your payment provider (for example, Stripe). Before completing your donation you will have the option to cover the payment processing cost yourself.
Our Donor Advised Fund partner pays Triple Q for fundraising services under the applicable fundraising agreement. Those payments are calculated as a percentage of donations made through our platforms. Where a charity receives grants through our platforms, we may also invoice that charity separately for fundraising services.

Charities use the Shamaazi platform because our technology helps them reach more supporters, improve donor retention, automate giving experiences and reduce the cost of fundraising.
Many charities view these services in the same way they would other fundraising investments, such as donor management software, advertising campaigns or fundraising events.
Our objective is to help charities build sustainable fundraising programmes that encourage long-term giving rather than relying solely on seasonal campaigns.
