to be launched in the USA. The Open Philanthropy eXchange, or OPX, will enable participating
organisations to streamline the receipt and management of data related to online
donations. Charities using OPX-compliant software will be able to download such 
donation and donor detail directly into their supporter database.

The companies behind this welcome initiative are Blackbaud, Inc, CharitableWay.com
and MyAssociation.com.

UK Fundraising will report further developments on this exciting example of collaboration
within the non-profit supplier sector.
