[Give to Charity](http://www.givetocharity.com) provides secure online donation 
facilities to charities and nonprofits. As well as one-off donations the site can
also handle monthly or annual donations. The service is designed to make secure 
online fundraising more affordable for charities. Give to Charity point out that
setting up a secure server, registering to take credit card payments, buying transactional
software, and paying monthly fees can add up to a prohibitive expense for some nonprofits.
Give to Charity’s only charge is a 15% transaction fee for each donation. There 
is no set-up fee.

They make it clear that they are not registered fundraisers, nor do they evaluate
the charities listed on the site. “We do not actively solicit for, endorse, or represent
any charity or nonprofit.” Instead they “facilitate and support the fund-raising
efforts of participating charities [by providing] a third party payment (donation)
service.”
Non-US nonprofits wishing to register to use the service must send a copy
of their nonprofit documentation.

Give to Charity was founded in November 1997 by Michael Storm, who had worked in
the computer industry for over 12 years.
