Special Notes for Collecting Sponsorship

We would encourage you all to utilise the Fundraising Team Page for several reasons. Firstly, your family and friends will be able to make online donations and leave encouraging messages to your team. Secondly, your sponsors can also choose to print out a tax-deductible receipts*,so there is no need to record donations on sponsorship forms and send them to us! Thirdly, you will be able to reduce our administrative costs, which means that even more of the funds you raise and our time can go into fighting against poverty. And finally, it is easy to use. So what are you waiting for? Create a page for your team now!

To send us the donations you raised, please write “Oxfam Trailwalker 2015”, your team number and each team member’s full name in English on the back of all the original copies of the deposit slips, the printed copy of the online transfer acknowledgement note and all cheques, then submit these with the sponsorship form (sponsors’ names, needed for tax deduction claims in Hong Kong, must be written correctly) by post or in person to Oxfam Hong Kong on or before 22 December 2015 (dated according to the postmark). Writing the wrong team number will result in crediting your sponsorship to another team!

You MUST photocopy all of your sponsorship records. Don’t destroy the copies until you have received all the receipts. Receipts will be sent to the team member whose name is on the sponsorship form or corporate coordinator. If your mailing address has changed, please contact Oxfam Hong Kong.

To reduce administration costs, the tax deduction receipts* will only be issued for donations of HK$100 or above. For more information about sponsorship and receipting, please read P.20-23 of the Information Booklet or click here.
* For Hong Kong tax payers only.
