Small charities offered chance to promote fundraising message to eBay users
Howard Lake | 21 May 2013 | News
Small charities can enter a competition to win the opportunity to have their fundraising message promoted to eBay shoppers as they checkout on the site. To be eligible, charities must have an annual turnover of less than £1.5 million.
The eBay Give at Checkout feature allows shoppers to make a small donation to a charity when they are purchasing an item. In 2012 eBay buyers donated over £17,000 to the winners of this competition.
The competition, which is now in its third year, is run as part of Small Charity Week 2013. Organisers the FSI have joined forces with eBay for Charity to offer five small charities the chance to benefit from this promotion.

Small charities should submit a 90-character fundraising message that they would like to see publicised on eBay. The deadline is 29 May 2013.
Lorin May, Head of Charity and Sustainability, eBay Europe said: "eBay for Charity allows charities of any size, large and small, to raise unrestricted funds via donations from eBay users or charities’ own trading. To date more than £48 million has been raised for over 7,500 organisations, and we look forward to working with more small charities to help them use eBay to fundraise."
