Donate Now
Our charity exists entirely from your donations and individual fundraising efforts. We cannot continue to maintain the network of defibrillators we have already helped to put in place without your continued support.
Where your money goes
Every single penny we raise is re-invested into our charitable endeavours. Our only expenses are fees payable for fundraising facilities such as PayPal and JustGiving, and website and email hosting costs. Every other penny raised is utilised in the provision of defibrillators, secure cabinets and maintaining them. Our Trustees take no fees from the charity for the work they do.
A standing order is an automated method of making regular payments that you set up.
You can instruct your bank to pay The Philip Maher Foundation a donation of a fixed amount of money at regular (fixed) intervals. Standing orders are created to cover a set period of time, for example, every month, and you can specify when you want your donation to be made, giving you full control over your finances.
A standing order is different to a Direct Debit payment.
A standing order is essentially an instruction from the payer to their bank, telling their bank to ‘push’ funds to another person or organisation.
In contrast, when you set up a Direct Debit, the person or organisation receiving payment asks permission from the payer to ‘pull’ funds from their account on a recurring basis.
The first step in setting up a standing order is to contact your bank to request it.
You then complete a standing order form (paper or online) and give it to your bank. With most banks and building societies, standing orders can be set up online or over the phone.
