Contributions and refunds
How to contribute to BRACE, how payments are recorded and verified, and how a refund is asked for and decided.
Last updated: 28 October 2026.
How to contribute
BRACE accepts contributions only into the accounts listed on its Donate page. It does not take card payments on this website, and it never asks for money into a personal account. If anyone asks you to pay BRACE any other way, please tell us through the Contact page before you pay.
How a payment is recorded
- When you register or report a payment, give its date, amount, method and transaction reference, and upload the receipt.
- Your payment shows on your supporter page straight away, as reported. A person at BRACE then checks it against the account statement and marks it verified. A receipt alone is not a verification.
- If a payment is missing from your page, report it from "My support"; if a detail is wrong, ask for a correction there.
Refunds
- Ask for a refund through the Contact page, saying which payment and why.
- BRACE decides each request. A refund is made only against a payment BRACE has verified, and it is paid back by the same channel where possible.
- Every refund is recorded on your supporter page next to the payment it repays.
Where the money goes
Contributions are used only for BRACE's objects. Its financial records and returns are published on the Accountability page; figures that have not been audited are labelled as unaudited.
