The minimum donation has been reduced to £2.

If you live in the UK, there is a new way to support international humanism. eBay has set up a mechanism that lets you sell unwanted items and give some or all of the proceeds to International Humanist Trust - a sort of online, virtual charity shop.

Even better, eBay reduces its charges (to zero if you donate all the proceeds) and Gift Aid is available to increase the value of your gift by 28p for every pound for UK taxpayers.

To support IHT in this way, you need to register with eBay itself (if you are not already registered) and register with eBay's charity partner, MissionFish. You can register in advance on MissionFish's web site or on eBay's web site when selling an item. Just select International Humanist Trust as the charity and choose how much of the sale proceeds you want to go to the charity. MissionFish provides a Getting Started Guide and a MissionFish Guide explains how the process works in full detail.
