RaiseFunds is to launch what they claim is a new method of raising funds
using the Internet. Individuals will earn income for charities by agreeing to receive
targeted e-mail advertisements twice a week. They say that a regular user could 
raise up to £208 per year for their selected charity.

The site launches on 2 April but is accepting registrations already at [www.raisefunds.org.uk](http://www.raisefunds.org.uk).
The site also makes confusing references to [www.raisefunds.co.uk.](http://www.raisefunds.co.uk)

The concept of raising funds by viewing adverts was launched in 1997 by iGive.com,
although that focused on Web-based adverts. Read UK Fundraising’s [coverage](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/news/9904/igive.html)
