Henry Palmer’s article “Net profits for charities” looks at the launch of free Internet Service Providers by charities as a fundraising tool. Howard is quoted as saying “becoming an ISP could have exciting fundraising potential for charities”. He adds: “a charity ISP should be regarded in the same way as an affinity fundraising scheme.” Aware of the limited life of some Internet fundraising models, Howard “warned charities to be aware of the fast pace of change in Internet technology.” Addressing the trialing of Asymmetric Digital Subscription Lines (ADSL), “he claimed the introduction of faster lines could have significant implications on the pricing structures which could undermine existing ISPs.” Read UK Fundraising’s list of free charity ISPs as examples of online fundraising.
