Spledid thinking, & I don't want AT ALL to pour cold water on a lovely idea, but.......
Were you aware that "Just Giving" CHARGE charities for donations?
"....It’s completely free to fundraise for, or donate to, a charity through JustGiving. We charge charities £15 per month, plus a small 5% fee on each donation....."
Yes well aware but are you aware that a tv campaign costs hundreds of thousands, a chugging campaign maybe £25 per signup... All fundraising has costs! Infact one of my biggest gripes is that the charity sector is such a huge employer! But these things need people, full time people, to be run.
But I just checked out virgin and that's only 2% so I guess I'll open a page there
http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/giving/about-us/fees.jsp They weren't around when I first started using justgiving...
No worries, it's just that......
1) So few people realise this.
2) Many blondes are naturally suspicious of charities, as we got badly stung a few years ago.
Virgin charge 2% do they?
And yes, I'm aware that TV Campaigns cost money.
I really find the whole concept of these "Charity Pages" a bit hard to come to terms with, but I guess if they help make charity donations easier, & more plentiful, it is a net gain, & good.
On blonde, incidentally, we formally only allow
bona-fide "Registered charities" to Post, though I'm sure "Just Giving" is street legal in that respect.
Good luck Sir.
