The current issue of ThirdSector magazine carries an interview with UK Fundraising’s
Howard Lake. 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.”
